A drifter walking through a burial ground, people smashing their technological devices, complicated bandages, young Hercules and his 3-headed dog, feeling ashamed of your instincts, and a journal comic about drought featuring the words of John Muir.
Short Run continues the tradition of the festival anthology with volume two of On Your Marks. This year, the festival organizers chose a smaller representation of artists to allow each a bit more space to spin a yarn: each story is between 3-5 pages. Two international artists are featured alongside three West Coast artists on the rise.
24 pages printed by Aidan Fitzgerald with a Riso machine in deep blue and black with a three-color screen-print wrap-around cover designed and printed by Jon Horn & Eric Carnell of Fogland Studios.

This 112-page collection includes all comics and extras from my first three smaller books, plus over 30 pages of new watercolors, stories, a glossary, and an Icelandic pronunciation guide.

Suzy Cortex and her young band of misfits, The Fantasticles, are on a quest to rid the Earth of a bizarre alien occupation by The Nameless Dread, an advanced race of sinister creatures whose ultimate goal is unclear, but who insist on carefully observing our day-to-day behavior no matter how awkward it becomes. To achieve their goal our young heroes must recruit the services of the legendary superhero known as the Conquistador… who no one has seen in years and whose mysterious absence all but guaranteed the success of the alien invasion in the first place.
We are very excited to announce that the first issue of NEMESIS ENFORCER, a Heavy Metal style comics magazine exclusively featuring Seattle contributors is now available here at ZANADU!! Get in on the ground floor with Seattle's next wave of comic talent!!

24hr Comic Day (October) 2009. 24-page BW oneshot.
Following the previous year’s adaptation, I definitely wanted to do something original for 2009′s 24hr Comic Day. This is what came out of my head at the last minute and I’m really happy with how it turned out, given all the restraints of the event. Aside from the cover (really just page 15) which was colored at a later date, only minor clean-up edits were made to the pages after the initial 24 hours.

January 2011. 8-page, BW toned oneshot.

Wow, just got in copies of Jeremy Eaton's "Jackass", of which Jim Woodring says "JACKASS...inaugurates an entirely new branch of the craft." And I think he means that in a really good way, because this little book is fantastic.

Weird's the limit and there is no limit. Mr. Freibert goes full-on cross-and scissors issue; Top weirdos contribute: Carlos Gonzalez, Patrick Kyle, Inés Estrada, Lane Milburn, Michael DeForge, Dunja Jankovic. NO APOLOGIES, BEG FOR MORE.
(W/A) Noel Freibert
What makes Weird get weirder? What started out as gothic paper tribute now rears its head as cyber serial killer stage note. Plenty of destructo and obligatory fashion anti-matter, Mr. Freibert's signature high-contrast Body Butter, and new wisps of unknown origin from the likes of Sua Yoo, CF, Andy Burkholder and Dash Shaw. NOT NORMAL, LOL

one of the scariest comics i've ever jammed
also funny
milburn gets it
horror comedy
whats the difference?
story starts like a lot of horror movies: teens go into the woods to drink and frolic
but what they find is like nothing known
nothing will be the same again
what's exciting is that we share the fright with the teens as we both discover the true weirdness milburn dishes

One of the great mysteries of the universe has been solved--we now have the true pronunciation of both "Copra" and its creator "Fiffe." Now if we can just find out how to pronounce his first name... Ah well, you don't actually need to know any of these things to enjoy what may be the most offbeat issue of the series--featuring the man in the machine, WIR!
