From the Collection
These were in the free pile at work. Who reads indie comics at Macmillan? I must find them! No one at First Second is fessing up.Forever and Everything! 3 by Kyle Bravo (2018). Short autobio pieces about a young family in New Orleans. #minicomicAll my Max Coltfelter minis, from 2003 to 2019. Looking at his art, it makes sense that he and Chris Wright were buddies in college. I think they were both poked by the same radioactive nib and got super powers! #minicomicPlay borough bingo! Scavenger Hunt for Central Park by Kjersti Faret and 20 Objects in Ridgewood by Yao Xiao. #minicomicGinseng Roots 1 and 2 by Craig Thompson (2019). Published by Uncivilized Books. Enjoying this series a lot. I forgot how good Craig Thompson is! Glad he’s back.When the Snow Melts Part One by Nick Offerman (2015). I like the quiet parts of the story. I think his storytelling is stronger without narration. Hope I can find part two. #minicomicHot Tea, Cold Water 3 edited by Leann Leake (2011). The title of each contribution in this zine corresponds with a letter in the alphabet (26 in all).Operation Pizza by Box Brown (2013). A fun little 3-color Risograph mini printed at SAW. #minicomicReptile House 1 (2019). They dub themself the “Philly lowbrow comix quarterly.” It definitely has an underground vibe. I want to use the calendar but then my copy won’t be mint! Picked up at Desert Island. #minicomicMe + My Guts by Gino Dal Cin (2019). I related to this comic about IBS a lot. Picked it up at Desert Island. #minicomicNeil Jam 8 by Neil Fitzpatrick (2001). I never took a deep dive into Neil Jam but I like the visual style here. #minicomic134 Mahana’im St. by Keren Katz (year unknown, around 2017?). A short comic about a memory from childhood, shared on a first date. #minicomicAmarinthe by Rosemary Valero-O’Connell (year unknown, around 2017?). The title means eternal. This is a short pretty love poem. #minicomicGoiter by J.R.D. Pettinger (year unknown, around 2016?). Bitter humor in the vein of Brunetti or Clowes. This page is my favorite. #minicomicRem 1 by M. R. Trower (2014). The first part of a sci-fi story. (Or is it fantasy?) Neat world and premise. #minicomicEat to Survive 7 by Jeff Mahannah (2017). Sick in both meanings of the word: cool and kinda gross sometimes. #minicomicPursuit by Samuel Hayes (date unknown, around 2018?). A trippy miasma of doodles. There seems to be some narrative here but it’s hard for me to follow. Impressive drawing, no dead space. #minicomicThe Spider Grandmother by Steve Teare (2015). A lovely Risograph scene report of a Burning-Man-esque event I hadn’t heard of. I assumed it was nonfiction, but maybe not? #minicomicGirl Hero 3 by Megan Kelso (1994). Now I’m just missing issue 4. Help a girl out!PMS Emotions by Hyesu Lee (2019?). Funny short comics about being an adult in New York. #minicomic
