Read more and comment... 		by Kazimir Strzepak The second volume in an ongoing series, this one is, like the first (which we've still got around here somewhere), a fat, square, Jordan Crane designed book packed with alternate universe action.  This work shows some affinity to the work of Fort Thunderers Brian Chippendale, Chris Forgues and, especially, Brian Ralph, in its themes and visual vocabulary, but it is a quite a bit more accessible to the uninitiated.  TEMPORARIY OUT OF STOCK.

Yes, it's a comics anthology entirely consisting of comics inspired by "real-life" missed connection ads posted on Craigslist.  These short tales range from sad to pathetic to depressing to funny to deranged to impossible-to-describe.  An astonishing 98 artists contributed to this anthology, including – but not limited to – Sarah Oleksyk, Jesse Reklaw, Sam Henderson, Peter Bagge, Liz Prince, Shannon Wheeler, Laura Park, Jeffrey Brown, Keith Knight, Elijah Brubaker, Greg Means, Gabrielle Bell, Alec Longstreth and Aaron Renier.  If nothing else, this massive array of talent testifies to the universality of Craigslist.  This book probably has something important to say about interpersonal relationships in the internet era, if we can only figure out what it is...

Read more and comment... 		This 200+ page square format book, designed by Jordan Crane and published by Bodega, is the first in a projected series of a lengthy post-apocalyptic tales of the struggle to survive.  It also serves to announce Bodega's arrival as the heir apparent to the now defunct Highwater Press, as this book bears many of the traits associated with Highwater releases.  Previously their activites vis a vis Highwater had been limited to distributing the remainder of the catalogue, but with the release of The Mourning Star, it appears that Bodega has assumed the mantle of publishing as well.  We wish The Mourning Star success and welcome Bodega to the fold of small press comics publishers.
