Victor “Bald Eagles” Cayro

Victor Cayro on the set of his latest project, Booby Patrol.

Bald Eagles/The Beard/Merc Gryphon/Victor Cayro has been in Legal Action Comics 1 & 2, True Porn, House of Twelve #3 & 4, Study Group 12, Typhon and Kramer’s Ergot. To quote Hunter S. Thompson, “One of God’s own prototypes. Some kind of high powered mutant never even considered for mass production. Too weird to live, and too rare to die.”

House of Twelve Goes to War (#4)

Danny Hellman

Allow me to let you in on a little known secret; a few years ago Team 12 was drafted by THE GOVERNMENT and forced into working towards it’s war effort. When we returned we decided the truth must be told in the most effective way possible, autobio comics! These are our stories of our experiences during THE GREAT WAR. Some sad, some action packed, some unfathomable, but I promise you each and every one is 100% true.

This book threatens to blow the lid wide open on what secrets are being kept out of liberal media by exposing the truth about alternate dimensions, time travel and THE GOVERNMENT’s hand in ‘spreading liberty’ across the space/time continuum.

Stories by Miss Lasko-Gross, K. Thor Jensen, Kate Allen, Cheese, Neil Kleid, Jenny Gonzalez-Blitz, Adam Suerte, Ayo, Kevin Colden, Mike Dawson and Chris Radtke, Dave McKenna, David Paleo and BALD EAGLES. Cover by Danny Hellman

This book is adults only for explicit scenes of sex and violence, depicted as only Ho12′s crack team of autistic creators can. You will laugh, you will cry, you will be rivited by the truth in… HOUSE OF TWELVE GOES TO WAR (#4)!

Back Cover by Cheese & Joe Meyer

House of Twelve #3: Filth

Miss Lasko-Gross

House of Twelve is back with yet another massive collection of oddity for you to get sick over. This time we’ve put together an all star cast for what we think will be one of the hottest anthologies of the year. Here our crack team of perverts, sociopaths and reprobates have come up with 96 pages of pure, unadulterated filth. Come check out our International Coalition of the Wicked as they reveal their own perverted desires behind the thin veil of “humor.” This book guarantees to turn even the most jaded stomach.

With all the hullabaloo going around these days over the moral ambiguity of the media we wanted to clear that up and present an absolute danger to America’s youth. Patently biased, this book holds no punches and unloads bucket load after bucket load of laughs, awe and bodily fluids.

Our contributors were carefully screened via a top secret super computer located deep within my trousers. They have presented us with an uncanny look into the tortured soul of the modern underground artist. From David Paleo’s touching tale of two South American Hitler Youth and their mutant ward to K.Thor Jensen’s exploration into Gaelic homosexuals, every story touches a different part of your soul. The Beard’s love story, The Anniversary, will bring a tear to mom’s eye and warmth to pops cold, cold heart. Miss Lasko-Gross’ instructional comic for growing young ladies will completely negate our need to speak about ‘taboo’ subjects to our children ever again! Dave McKenna’s Prgy at My Place will educate children of all ages with its investigation into the secret lives of cartoonists; he outed us! Brian Musikoff tells a story that teaches never to trust your local drug dealer, while Cheese tells a similar one about your local ministry. All this and more can be found in the beautifully packaged, economically priced, first amendment draped House of Twelve #3!

Comics By: David Paleo, Nick Jeffrey, Jenny Gonzalez-Blitz, Ryan Snook, Joe Meyer, K. Thor Jensen, Frank Forte, Evan Forsh, Jay Marcy, Brian Musikoff, Kevin Colden, Miss Lasko-Gross, Adriano Eduardo, Dave McKenna, The Beard and Cheese Hasselberger

Victor Cayro v. Apple S&P

Seems Apple Standards and Practices has a problem with Victor Cayro’s story, The Mazk, which is scheduled to appear in the new Ho12 Monthly#2, and we’re going to have to cut it from the issue.

I can’t say I’m too pleased with this. Apple has a rule about comics depicting torture, which I understand, and agree with. I think they’re trying to avoid something like the Human Centipede in comic form. I get that, but Victor’s story is like Bugs Bunny for adults. In Cayro’s story the main character is forced to strip and lick his own blood off of a car’s bumper. Technically, these are acts performed under duress, which would classify them as torture, but taken in the context of the whole piece, it’s a little silly to call it that.

I’ve been Victor Cayro’s publisher for about five years and I understand that his work can be jarring to people. It’s often disturbing, violent, overtly sexual and grotesque — and that’s the point. He sees the world for what it is and he doesn’t suffer fools who would candy-coat it, mocking them openly through a palette of pop-culture references and day-glow colors. He is, I believe, the finest artist working in comics today and it’s a shame Apple has chosen to reject the strip.

Nonetheless, we will suffer on, Cayro will hopefully submit another story eventually and we’ll just have to cross our fingers that it’ll meet Apple’s muster. In the meantime, Ho12 Monthly #2 will be out ASAP with new stories from Kate Lacour, Dave McKenna, Fred Noland, David Paleo and myself.

After the jump you can read Victor’s story in it’s final form. Torture porn, meaningless masturbation, or none-to-subtle social commentary? You tell me. Click for a high res version.
