^Technically, this particular anthology was put together in White River Junction, Vermont, but now that the Maple Key Comics Cooperative has relocated to Pittsburgh, PA, we felt it deserved a semi-MiP appellation.
And, in these last two categories, there was really no competition, as each dominated their respective category:
COMICS NEWSZINE
1. Comics Workbook Magazine **(MiP)**
HOLIDAY GIFT BOOK
1. What Nerve! edited by Dan Nadel
Yes, it's that time of year. We've put together (and are still adding to) a giant page of great gift items on sale here at copaetic. It's in a clunky scrolling form that is good for reading, but not for ordering from; to do the latter, you'll have to head back here to copaceticcomics.com and search for the item in question. Please be forewarned that a few of the items are already near to selling out; only a few, tho' - we've put in a pretty good stock, so check 'em out.
