Joe In The Future

Joe In The Future

Joe In The Future is an ongoing short story comic strip that appears in "Heavy Metal". The strip is co-written by Horatio Weisfeld and Peter Koch.

The title character, Joe, spends most of his time seeking out cigarettes (which are hard to acquire in the future) and often comes into difficulty with a variety of humans, robots, mutants, etc, who seek to disrupt Joe’s agenda to suit their own.

The Joe In The Future is narrated in a terse crime novel style but the stories tend to evolve from commonplace incident rather than good/bad guy type genre conventions. Joe is a tough rogue and his yarns tend feature "Goodfellas"-type street tensions that boil to a violent climax, but through it all the title character tends to eschew anger, malevolence and disrespect. In this regard, the strip is rather unique.

Trevor Von Eeden illustrated the first three stories in the Joe series. Painted color for Joe In The Future has been provided by the highly respected Canadian artist George Freeman and his wife, Laurie Smith.
