Anthologies
Sundays Forever Changes
The fourth issue of the anthology edited by Chuck Forsman, Sean Ford, Joseph Lambert, and Alex Kim. There is about 130 pages from over 20 contributors. An impressive size considering that the books are assembled by hand! The anthology's organizing prinicple is to basically collect what the editors see as a nice survey of people working in comics right now. I also had the honor of designing the cover which was screenprinted by Joseph Lambert and Alex Kim.
Papercutter Number 10
Papercutter #10 is the latest installment in Tugboat Press's Ignatz-winning anthology series dedicated to showcasing the best young, underexposed and emerging comic book artists. This issue features a haunting story by Damien Jay (The Natural World) about a small village taken over by strange events and the one woman who can stop them. Jesse Reklaw (Couch Tag) tells the epic tale of a man lost at sea and the many dangers he encounters. Also, Minty Lewis (PS Comics) presents a story of an office drone who longs for something more than the lonely life he leads. Additional art by Nate Beaty.
Abstract Comics: The Anthology
Beginning with the experiments of Saul Steinberg, through some of the more psychedelic creations of R. Crumb, and more recently, cartoonists created comics whose panels contain little to no representational imagery, and which tell no stories. Reduced to the panel grid, brushstrokes, and sometimes colors, abstract comics highlight the formal mechanisms that underlie all comics. The first collection devoted to this genre, Abstract Comics: The Anthology, is edited by Andrei Molotiu, an art historian and contemporary abstract-comic creator. It gathers the best abstract comics so far, including early experiments by Gary Panter, Moebius, Patrick McDonnell, and Lewis Trondheim, and pieces by little-known pioneers such as Benoit Joly, Bill Boichel and Jeff Zenick, as well as by recent practitioners such as Ibn al Rabin, Billy Mavreas, Mark Staff Brandl, and many others. Abstract Comics also features first attempts, commissioned specifically for this anthology, by well-known cartoonists such as James Kochalka, Ivan Brunetti, J.R. Williams and Warren Craghead. (All that is just copied from Amazon. -- ed.)
I Saw You...: Comics Inspired by Real-Life Missed Connections
This anthology of comics inspired by real-life missed connection ads posted on Craigslist and in local papers around the country will tug at your heartstrings and make you think. Lonely hearts, romantics, and even cynics pore over missed connection ads in search of love, to gawk and giggle, or out of curiosity. These posted stranger sightings and chance encounters lay bare the truths and oddities of real-life loneliness and attractions and bring out the voyeur in the best of us. I Saw You takes this phenomenon and makes it even better.
Edited by Julia Wertz, the book also includes comics by Peter Bagge, Jesse Reklaw, Tom Hart, Sam Henderson, Laura Park, Emily Flake, Keith Knight, Janelle Hessig, Gabrielle Bell, Aaron Renier, Austin English, Corinne Mucha, Jeffrey Brown, Alec Longstreth, Minty Lewis, Joey Sayers, David Malki, Kazimir Strzepek, Ken Dahl, Shaenon Garrity, Rodd Perry, Abby Denson, Damien Jay, Sarah Glidden, and dozens more.
