Thank you so much for reviewing the book! I'll keep my thoughts to myself here about the ending. But I really enjoy hearing how everyone reads and interprets the whole book.

It's wonderful to see some of these classic zines that don't deserve to be lost to obscurity or some university collection. Photocopy machines could be bad in the 90s, as well! You were really at the mercy of what was available back then.

that page one logo is pretty darn cool. seems like ALL zines from the times have that it's-meant-to-be-black printing. was a kind of shrug-yr-shoulders way things seemed meant to be. you sure do pick interesting choices.

Orange good

Keep up the good work! I have fooled around with a couple 8 panel comics on 8 1/2 x 11 paper. I would love to do more for my own amusement but struggle with the story. Thanks for the renewed inspiration! ❤

Ha! Can't believe someone held onto that for 35+ years! Hope you have a good Halloween!

"zeigt" means "presents"... so the Zine is by Mr. Lorenz... thanks for showing (got me some Wobbys on your recommendation and they turn out to be very fine, thanks again)

"orange is one of my things" ... kinda weird statement these days ... but thanks for your videos 🤣

I remember back then being really jealous of (and impressed by) you guys and the local connections you were making, as I hadn't come across any other area cartoonists in my neck of the woods!

thanks for the showcase. I no longer collect but i do like to see comic art.

This is so good, wow :00

The Nib great looking magazine. I’ve heard of it before. Too bad the price no longer $5 and for someone living on the other ride of the pond the price would be just too high. Thanks for showing us.

It never occurred to me there was a market for these. Could you tell us more about that? Where do you find them, what are common price points?

Thanks for the PDFs those were fun to read through.

I reallly appreciate your enthusiastic and informed looks at books and events. You’re a much needed voice in the world of zines!

The was a Kevin Collier fanzine. Maybe the first small press zine I ever saw. 1984.

I just acquired a bunch of fanzine books. This one and the Comet #3 (with the Wolfman on the cover). As well as Thunderbolt, Mysterious Adventures, The Nymphs In the Woods #3, Fandom Funnies #1& #2, Bombshell Ama-zine #'s 8, 9, 10, Infamous Funnies #1 and the Neal Adams Index. Plus 8 different FOOM books. I don't know much about the non FOOM books.

Chuck insists on giving me credit for the story, but really I just make suggestions and Chuck develops the entire script, layout, gags, and everything else himself. As the smart man once said, any project is about 1% inspiration and 99% perspiration. Chuck does all the hard work, and deserves respect for his efforts.

"Handburger." A subset of "hand grenade."

Excellent, thank you for sharing! Any tips on selecting zines (aside from personal taste) from the tons there are to choose from?

The video has an issue with the sound?

I just picked up a copy of the fanzine, I hadn't known it existed. And the 21 comic issues sitll have

So glad you featured Wandering Star. Was lucky enough to catch it with the start of the series (I have 1-21, which I think is completish) and even get a few sketches featuring the characters.

Interesting technique. The fake ads are fun.

OH SHOOT ... did I give you a French language copy of A-T Walker #1? If so, let me know and I'll mail you the English version

That's quite the impressive haul:)

man youre making it to all the big shows!

Fun fact about Sharon: She and John are still happily married to this day! They're both retired, and still making lots of art in their spare time!

ah, Jonny Quest for me, too. Strongly recommend two from this year, but 'back-issues' or collected (I hope) by now, newly re-read: Batman/Dylan Dog, the best portrayal of Batman for me in years and at today's prices, a LOT of pages for a low price. Traveling to Mars constantly surprised me: a (very) laid-back travelogue filled with philosophical pondering, at least two very surprising moments--warding off a would-be spaceship war, finding out (logically) who actually populates Mars.

The subtle humour cracks me up. I hadn't heard of Pressman either but loved the in the know references.

Astonishingly enough, I have Dishman mini-comics, maybe all? Don't think I ever knew about Science Cruise. But I can see Vanna dumping whatsisname for Pressman. Nice showcasing here.

Thanks for showing this off! Definitely something different than what I've come across before!

Thank you!

damn cool channel

cool thanks for this video!

Absolutely! Konyu has a great visual style

Love the art on this one!

Good ol' Steve Willis. Glad to hear he's still kicking and making zines! I was under the impression that some Morty Comix might have been a bit ephemeral, as in he drew and numbered them in sand, snow, dust etc. and posted the pics on his blog, which I believe he took down long ago.

Pro tip: List all of the contributors for each zine under review with the description on UA-cam and also any links that you post on FaceBook or other aggregators. My experience in small press indicates that folks LOVE LOVE LOVE to see their own name in print.

For many years, Slam Bang by Allen Freeman's Fan-atic Press was the gold standard of small press anthologies by which all others were measured.

Thanks for the shout-outs! I think the MSCA members are doing good work in GB&S; it's been the first time being published for some of the contributors...

Congratulations! Super cool

Cool stuff. How do you find out about the minis and zines? I used to get newspapers from comic shops (30 odd years ago) and saw stuff to order as well as once a member of an APA but I thought that was all defunct with the Internet.

Great episode! Y'all are doing unique stuff! 😄

That's funny; funny-odd not funny-haha; in that the SnowBuni bookmarks were printed three times x 100 each. I had not seen the second printing, as it was shipped directly to Rick Bradford of the Poopsheet Foundation. This video is the first time I had seen the results from the 2nd printing, and it is a misprint- the artwork was designed to be a full bleed, but apparently the art was reduced and given a "margin" around the edge front & back -but only for this printing! The first and third printings were done correctly. I would not have known otherwise, had I not seen this video. Very odd. I still have a stock of correctly-printed bookmarks at the time of this writing, but it is dwindling fast. Perhaps I should do a fourth printing.

Wow. I have been doing small press so long that I don't even remember making this version of my "SnowBuni Goes to Canada" story, which has been remade at least once since then with all-new artwork (same old jokes though). And I don't remember the "I Survived Expo '86" pinup, either, but it is true that a bunch of friends and I spent some time at Expo '86 in Vancouver, British Columbia, in Canada (the longest time I think I have visited that country to date). Good times.

hey Tom. thanks so much for the nice review of Broken B. Let me comment on my intention (not with the story but with the art approach). The "pixilation" of the cover photo is actually a Photoshop filter to give a painterly effect, hoping to go with the characters in watercolor. And the repeat of the front cover on the back (sans type) is an homage to the old Gold Key Comics of the early 1960s. They would do that as a pin-up. And speaking of Gold Key, you mention that there's some panels with a bold color behind the figures. Well, GK was crazy for an odd coloring scheme. No matter if it was Donald Duck, Tarzan or Lone Ranger, from panel to panel the sky might be blue in one, yellow in the next and green after that! My intention is to highlight those dramatic moments with a more intense color, hence a rich blue or red at times. I have a lot of fun, and the coloring is done in Photoshop ... each page is like a painting, quite time consuming and labor intensive but I think the results are worth it!

One of my favorite Larry Johnson comics ever! This is the whole package... creepy, exciting, emotional, with Larry's amazing artwork in full color and quality production! One of the finest comics I've read this year, thanks for your review! :)
