Underground legends Blag Dahlia and Mad Marc Rude join forces to present Armed to the Teeth with Lipstick, a hardboiled tale of sex, death, dope, and violence on this world and beyond. Originally independently released by Blag Dahlia and the Dwarves' Greedy label in 1998, Rare Bird is pleased to reissue one of the lost gems of the art and literary worlds, Armed to the Teeth with Lipstick by Dwarves' founder and frontman, Blag Dahlia, and the legendary Mad Marc Rude.


Featuring dozens of exclusive illustrations, this is the novel that NASA and the American Heart Association might have branded “too shocking for human consumption,” if they had ever read it. Enjoy the thrill of shameless exploits from characters Lucifer Doolan, the Equalizer, Natasha Romilar, and the rest as they fight, fornicate, and defy physics in the Time/Space Warp. 


Armed to the Teeth with Lipstick returns readers to the halcyon days of 1998 with aural terrorist Blag Dahlia and the late great skin artist Marc Rude as they invite you to experience the ultimate in glorious black and white.
