If you’ve ever wanted to see Spiderman smoke a bong and flip off the Green Goblin, then “Private Posse” just might be the comic book for you. Former UO student Tereso Cobian has spent that last few years writing and illustrating his own comic book currently on sale at The Duck Store.

Inspired by hip hop and street graffiti, the 32-page, full-colored comic follows a band of misfits in a post-apocalyptic world. The project took over two years to finish and Cobian hopes to finish the second issue in half the time.

Funded by a Kickstarter campaign, the book is currently on sale at several comic outlets in Oregon and several stores in New York City. “Private Posse” is also available on Cal Young Comics’s website, Cobian’s self-founded comic publishing company.

Between working and helping to raise his 4-month-old daughter, Cobian hopes to have issue two released sometime in the near future.

Measure 97 is a proposed corporate tax measure on this year’s ballot. If passed, the new tax could bring in a large increase in funding to the state, which some argue could benefit higher education. Others see this as a new sales tax that will come out of consumers’ pockets.

The Emerald hit the streets to find out what Oregon Ducks had to say on the issue. Do you agree with them?

What lies behind the walls of the Campbell Club has been a secret to many, until now. A creatives paradise lies behind the doors of this student Co-Op. Almost every inch of the walls in the converted sorority house has been painted with murals and artwork. Ranging from themes of activism, environmentalism and anti-fascism, the resident-created art adds character and inspiration to this community. With some of it dating back decades, the art is a spectacular reminder to the residents of their artistic heritage as an art and music hub in the Eugene community.

With the help and guidance of several Campbell House residents, The Emerald got a personalized tour of the house from roof to dorm rooms to everything in between. Like the Co-Op, the art of the house is ever-changing. While some murals and paintings may come and go, the landscape of the house never fades. Each resident seeks to lay his mark on the house that has left a mark on each of them.
