Jaxon's Rant

The documentary follows underground comics artist Jack Jackson as he inks his final graphic history, a 166 page story of the Alamo told from both the Mexican and Anglo points of view. The film is comprised of ten visits to the artist's studio over a twelve month period, documenting the painstaking process of inking with an old-fashioned dip pen. Finally, the book is completed but his planned sales outlet, The Alamo gift shop turns it down because there is “too much sex and violence.” Three years later Jackson commits suicide at the gates of the family cemetery in Pandora, Texas.
