Cometbus #53 by Madalena Polletta, Aaron Cometbus

Cometbus #53

Aaron is still riding the Punk Train (see #52 for more). This time out we have a lengthy piece on the early days of punk and art and comics in NYC in the mid-1970s that is largely derived from an in-depth interview Aaron conducted with John Holstrom, the co-founder of the legendary Punk Magazine. But that's just the main course, there's plenty more on offer here. For starters, this issue is co-authored by long-time Cometbus pal, Maddalena Polletta, who contributes a half dozen pieces which are interspersed throughout, providing contrapuntal hamony and making for a idiosyncratic and personal – if dolorous – production. Grab a copy and stick it in your pocket, so that when you head out into the cold harsh world you'll know you have a friend along.
