The Nib comes to print!  Edited by Matt Bors & Co., the first issue offers readers 112 crisply printed, full color pages on... death!  Highlights of this issue include: an interview-in-comics-form with Barbara Ehrenreich by Editor-in-Chief, Bors; "Who Wants to Live Forever: Silicon Valley Tries to Disrupt Death" by Andy Warner; "Thinking Outside the Casket" by Josh Neufeld; "As Before, So Behind: A Memoir of Losing a Child" by Ted Closson (which is what it says it is and a tough read); and plenty more besides, including contributions by Gerardo Alba, Vanesa Del Rey; Rachel Dukes, Emi Gennis, Julia Gfrörer, John Martz, Isabella Rotman, Sophie Yanow, an archive curated by Warren Bernard, and much, much more. This issue is packed!  Not a square inch is wasted.  Like time is to life, page space is to comics, and here, in this issue devoted to the terminus of life in death, which reveals its limits, this first issue of The Nib, crams in as much comics as it possibly can into the space allotted, perhaps as a way to suggest to us that we do the same with our lives. 

BACK IN STOCK!

Drugs are this issue's topic, and they get teh full Nib treatment: history, science, supply and demand, politics and power, personal anecdotes from around the country and the world, and more are brought to bear on a full specturm of drugs.  On the one hand there are the recreational and "street" drugs – from marijuana and hash to LSD and MDM to cocaine and metamphetamines to the opiates – and on the other there are medical and miracle drugs from the newly engineered Covid vaccines to fertility drugs to testosterone to SSRIs and more (even coffee!).  All alter our bodies and minds along with the way they interact with and process our envirionments.  There's lot to chew on!
