The Sleeze Brothers 05 torrent

The fifth in the Sleeze Brothers comic series presented in .Jpg format

The Sleeze Brothers was a short-lived comic published by Epic Comics, between August 1989 and January 1990 (UK release dates), lasting for 6 issues. A collection of the six issues were later released in 1990, along with a final extended issue in 1991.The comic depicts a futuristic Earth rife with extraterrestrials, pollution, crime and corruption. The focus of the stories are El’ Ape and Deadbeat Sleeze, two private eye brothers, who ply their trade in the seedy underbelly of The Big Apple, a futuristic city taking it’s name from the nickname of New York City.

In the comics Deadbeat and El’ Ape Sleeze are described as dysfunctional orphans who grew up in an orphanage for unwanted “boil in the bag” test tube babies. As adults they use amoral and often underhanded methods to get the results demanded by their insalubrious and eclectic clients.

The title characters in the Sleeze Brothers comics were loosely inspired by Jake and Elwood Blues from the cult movie The Blues Brothers, but were actually based on Andy Lanning’s two cousins, Phil and Pete Carmichael. These two characters appeared on the front cover of the collected edition. However, other influences also shine through, specifically Ridley Scott’s hugely popular movie Blade Runner.
