Poison Pill is an all-new, all-women, all-great anthology of comics, edited and published by comics powerhouse, M.S. Harkness, and featuring her own work along with a cohort of her talented peers (listed above).
This anthology has been printed in a nice oversize format – by Sean Knickerbocker, with similar paper and cover stocks to his Rust Belt Review, but not quite as large – in three city-specific editions, representing the hometowns of the contributors; each with identical contents, but each with a unique cover: Columbus, cover by Victoria Douglas; Chicago, cover by Caroline Cash; Philadelphia, cover by Audra Stang.
RIght now, we are offering only the Columbus edition online. We may be able to get extras of the others, but not making any promises. Feel free to check back... but don't miss it!

Here's the latest risograph edition from Cram Press: 57 pages of previously unreleased Sam Szabo autobiographical comics from the Momix/Dadix universe, all printed entirely in blue. Get ready for plenty of expressivley drawn family hi-jinx!
And... SPECIAL PRICE!
It's here! The the latest issue of the always all new, all hand-printed comics anthology edited and published by Andrew Alexander – Cram! This time around, "Comics" has been appended to the title, so, evidently, this fifth issue is Cram Comics. And what comics!
This issue feels like the best yet. From the literary approach, most notably embodied in the oblique, slow burning fuse of Cameron Arthur's "Sacred Heart" and the complex character construction of Anad's "The River Keeps on Flowing", to the personal comics flavored with expressionism along with a (fun) sense of the absurd, as we find, to varying degrees, in James Collier's "We're Here", Sam Szabo's "The Enlightened Transsexual in: The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Testosterone Blocker" and Syd Madia's "All the Time Aquatics", to the anecdotal, insightful and humorous storytelling of Swayam Parekh's "Shabana, I Hate Tears" and Médar de la Cruz & Médar Serrata's "Fixing It", to Nate Doyle's impassioned, graphicly bold working through grief in comics form, "Earthling", to Michael Kennedy's masterclass in how to unlock the power of visual communication inherent in comics, "Jumbie's Muse", this issue of Cram Comics, which also features a wraparound cover by Lillian Ansell, has it all! And remember, it's a limited edition, hand-printed (on heavy flat white stock) risograph, in full color, duotone and black & white as per each work's requirements. Don't miss it!
After spending time with this issue, one gets the feeling that of looking through a window at a comics road that stretches long into the future.
