Skin Deep by Flo Woolley [Silver Sprocket]
Skin Deep by Flo Woolley is a queer horror romance comic set in the shadows and allure of a nocturnal dance house. In a world where appearance and performance reign supreme, the timid Mareike fades into the background. But when the captivating lead dancer Soňa turns her gaze on her, Mareike is drawn into the intoxicating glow of the spotlight… and begins to realize the sacrifices required to stay there. This comic is printed with a premium foil-accented cardstock cover.
ZINES
Ridiculous Fiction 1: Old Joe by Chris Auman [RoosterCow Press]
The Ridiculous Fiction genre was invented by Chris Auman to justify the abject silliness of the short stories he wrote in the late 1980s and early 1990s. The first issue contains the story "Old Joe" and the comic "The Sheridan Park Massacre."
"Old Joe" is a spoof of the classic Man versus Nature literary theme. Will Bill Billson become a man after a successful hunt? "The Sheridan Park Massacre" tells the tale of one rage-filled evening. The horror! Another bargain book at $5.
Walk Off Hot by Charly Fasano [Self-published]
We’ve added a bunch of back issues of Charly Fasano’s Walk Off Hot zine to the RoosterCow Store this month. Check out Issues no. 1 and no. 3-6 from the Denver-based poet, filmmaker, painter, and block printer.
Each page of Walk Off Hot is a 16x20 inch drawing created with acrylic paint pens on unstretched canvas by Fasano.
Cartooning Against Capitalism [SciencePainted]
Subtitled "A Short History of the History Book" the Cartooning Against Capitalism zine features interviews with two of the book's creators Gittan Jönsson and Annika Elmquist and reprints from the book. (For the uninitiated, The History Book was created in the late 1960s by four students from Konstfack University in Stockholm, Sweden.)
