Here's an all-new, eight-color, 44-page, 8" x 10" risograph from Christina Lee (aka Xtina), whose work will be familiar to any who have spent time browsing the MADE IN PITTSBURGH table at the Copacetic shop, as we stocked all (or close to it) of her numerous publications over the years.  In two short pieces – "I Can Be Anything You Want Me To Be" and "Employee of the Month" – along with the more substantial "Superfan", Lee confronts the vicissitudes of female fame and fortune – as well as the lack thereof. The anxieties and fears that lay dormant within dreams are activated in the deceptively bright color pages of this limited*, hand-numbered edition, working to show that a bright surface may be employed to hide a darkness within...

You can get a sneak peek of the book HERE.

And we're giving this one an honorary "Made in Pittsburgh" designation despite the fact that it was actually produced in NYC, due to Christina's long tenure in town.

* to 250 copies

Here it is, the second issue of Christina Lee's single-creator anthology series, The Method!  Like the first, it's an 8" x 10", 44-page, 5-color risograph comic book magazine.  This time around we are presented with three short stories focused on relationships, objectification and self-image in a hand-numbered edition of 350 copies.

Here's a nice 20-page, 6" x 8", single-color (Prussin blue, in case you were wondering)risograph edition from Suerynn Lee. It presents us with a pithy fable in the form of a story of, yes, two (talkative) snakes.

And, it just won the 14th Annual Cartoonist Studio Prize presented by the Center of Cartoon Studies! 

It has been printed in an edition of 500 copies.
