Scablands kindle unlimited L Crabb one of the last people to consciously join the underground comix movement recruited into it by Dan O Neill It describes a low period in his life when he was reduced to repoing cars in Western Washington state the Scablands a desolate place scraped clean by a prehistoric flood Not only does Crabb go back and forth in his own life the highs and the very lows in Scablands but he goes back and forth in the life of the Scablands it s prehistoric past the foundation of the Hanford Nuclear Reservation there and the life of Smowhala the 19th century Wanapum prophet and founder of the Dreamer religion Crabb can t help but notice how many of Smowhala s prophecies came true. Scablands of washington One reason I liked it was that Crabb unlike many of his peers in the underground comix world has never been particularly successful Because of this he has never lost a distinctly working class viewpoint The fragility of day to day life for the working class shines through in Scablands as he steals cars from poor people who can t pay their notes often angry and often resigned It s a sneakily moving piece of comics that sticks with me Scablands
