PURPLE PEOPLE EATER #1

(W) (A) Andrew Shons

The threat of the Purple People Eater has long been the subject of childhood nightmares. Andrew Shons has taken the classic myth and given this boogieman a history and motivations for his gastronomical predilections. Presented in sharp chiaroscuro with a 2-color screen printed cover, Shons presents the gory story in near-rhyme and staccato non-meter. Also includes activity pages and a very disturbing cookbook.

COSMIC BE-ING

Alex Graham (W/A)

Direct from Denver, CO, comes Cosmic Be-Ing. A somewhat autobiographical comic in the tradition of Harvey Pekar and Robert Crumb. Each issue is a stand-alone collection of anecdotes, fictionalizations and other ramblings from the mind and pen of a young woman trapped in the Mile High City.

"I must create to occupy my 'idle hands'. Puberty did awful things to my brain, and each year I become more neurotic, sad & barely grasping common facts of existence. So I've created - or discovered - a mythology that helps me believe my life has purpose. That's where I find my inspiration." - ALEX

GOODBYE
(W/A) Ben Passmore

As Boyz II Men sang, “it’s so hard to say goodbye to yesterday.”

It’s hard to say goodbye to love, to friends, to ourselves. Our identity is a myth we make. We were early at a party, early enough to miss all those pretentious kids that knew about Catharsis before you. You had a long hard day making protest fliers with all the A’s circled and you just want to makeout with the new punks and practice reciting early Amiri Baraka with the only other black punk there.

Okay, maybe this is just my myth...In time we have to say goodbye to all the truths we were convinced of so that we can acclimate to the ever changing world. You can get a credit card with an Anarchy symbol on it now, weird right? Our End is neigh but maybe it’s not such a big deal? Maybe there’s a sunshine after the rain.

The comic Goodbye by Ben Passmore is comprised of three vignettes: A myth about polyamory, a parable about real punks, and an argument for aging gracefully/ killing yourself.

88 pages, 4 x 5.5 inches
