I'd done three issues of the 'billboard-format' Tangos by this stage and people were asking for a book that they could actually read, actually shelve, actually carry without a pair of tongs. Okay, let's embark on Tango Volume Two Book One, about 70% the size of the former format, with about 70% more content.
The launch of 'Tango4: Love and Death' was at the Terminus Hotel in Abbotsford in autumn 2001. I had a regular gig there at the time, showing 16mm feature films on a Tuesday night with my friend Kevin Janner. We played those nights as a couple of old projectionists from Bermagui - good fun. At the launch of T4 I informed the assembled that this wasn't a comic book: it was a lifeboat.
Donkey Kong, goldfish, Walt Whitman, Marat, bikes, Jupiter (the god), Elvis, necrophilia, cheddar lite, and pigeons.
And, of course, much much more.
