Karl Rove and Valerie Plame in Plame Nine from Outer Space

Valerie Plame and Karl Rove star in Plame Nine from Outer Space!
from Capitol Hell Political Monsters Postcard Book Set (2007)

This convoluted plot never exactly reveals which planet Karl Rove hails from, but audiences instinctively know it's not THIS one.

CAPITOL HELL Crossbreeds America's Favorite MONSTERS with its Favorite (?) POLITICIANS!

Jaded Americans can find some respite from incessant 2008 presidential campaigning with CAPITOL HELL, a simultaneously creepy and hilarious 24-image postcard book by satirist Pete Von Sholly.

The recombinant DNA of current White House occupants, presidential aspirants from each party, pundits and others are mixed with classic horror and sci-fi flicks in the author's inky lab. Skin-crawling monstrosities result.

Von Sholly is a Hollywood storyboard artist (The Green Mile, The Shawshank Redemption, Mars Attacks!) and gadfly graphic novelist (Extremely Weird Stories, Comic Book Nerd) who pulls from each discipline to poke a stick at politicos and commentators on both sides of the aisle.
