Mail Call: Gazer by Carla McRae

Posted on October 20, 2014 | Leave a comment

I received my first issue from the Minicomic of the Month Club, direct from Australia’s Smaller Comics. Man, there’s a lot of good stuff coming out of Australia! This one is by Carla McRae. It’s a silent comic about, I think, a tender romance between a girl and a sasquatch. Very lovely.

From the Collection

The Imp 3 by Daniel K. Raeburn (1999). I’ve had this for many years, but I’m ashamed to say I hadn’t read it. I’m rectifying that now! It’s a beautiful object and pitch perfect as a Ware parody. But it’s more than just a pretty face. As a work of journalism, it’s a rich trove.

I’m taking a deep dive into comic newspapers! Starting, of course, with Smoke Signal published by Desert Island. These are my earliest issues: 1 (2009), 3 (2009), 5 (2009), and 9 (2010).

Death Row Junkie / Brilliant Mistake 1 by Mike Dawson and Alex Robinson (2002). An exceptional 24-hour comic split. Mike’s comic is just hilarious! He’s also a contributor (with Josh Kramer) to American Cult. Only 6 days left in the Kickstarter!

I‘ve collected a lot of Ellen Lindner minis over the years! These are most of them. Ellen is also a contributor to American Cult. Only nine days are left to back the Kickstarter!

All my Ben Passmore minis, from the last five years or so. Ben is also a contributor to my anthology, American Cult. Back it on Kickstarter! Link in the bio.

Indy Magazine 16 (1996). Edited by Jeff Mason. I love reading magazines like this. They’re time capsules.

Baseline Blvd by Emi Gennis (2018). Published by Kilgore Books. I love how Emi draws the quiet in-between moments in this story about trauma, loss, and complicated feelings. Emi is also a contributor to American Cult, and her comic about the Oneida Colony totally blew me away! An artist to watch without a doubt.

These are all my Francois Vigneault minis (from 2004 to 2017). Did you know Francois is also an exceptional graphic designer who designed the American Cult logo?

A rare bit of self-promotion: the American Cult Kickstarter just launched! https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/robynchapman/american-cult-a-comics-anthology

My Luke Howard minis! So pretty! Junior (2013) is about disappointment and family. #minicomic

Look at this beauty from 1986! I never thought I’d have all the Clowes floppies, but now I’m well on my way. Thanks, @murkygumbo for the trade! Cool stuff is coming your way.

Flin Flon, Manitoba by Brendan Leach (year unknown, around 2010?). A mostly wordless comic about a small-town hockey star and the friend (brother?) he left behind. Beautifully drawn. #minicomic

Crust by Rick Pinchera. Published by Top Shelf in the mid to late 90s I believe. I think this is one of their first publications. Crust is a strip that used to run in the Willamette Week in Portland. #minicomic

All my Raina Telgemeier minis (2002-2008). I’m on the hunt for Take-Out 1. I have an extra (pretty beat up) copy of Outeach up for grabs. #minicomic

Anonymous Fuzzball by Nicole Georges (2018). Cute critters offer sage advice. These are two of my favorite quotes. #minicomic

All my issues of Invincible Summer by Nicole Georges (and often also by Greg Means). I’m missing 1-5,7,8, 12,14, 16-19. Hit me up if you’ve got one to sell or trade. #minicomic

Got my Kickstarter rewards from Kilgore!

Alternator: Eight Stories (1998) and Alternator: Grand Junction (1999) by Carrie Golus. I really relate to that first page of Grand Junction. Fun Fact! The first minicomic I drew was a violent, Milk and Cheese inspired title called Bitter Girl. Very late-nineties zine culture. Thankfully lost to the sands of time. #minicomic

A self-published edition of An Easy Intimacy by Jeffrey Brown. (Around 2005.) A limited edition of 390. Later published by Top Shelf.

Supermonster 7 by Kevin Huizenga (1998). My earliest Kevin H mini. It has a meditative, King-Cat quality to it. It’s all about walking through his neighborhood. #minicomic
