Will You Play With Me? by Hannako Lambert
Today has been a heavy day for local/indy comix and like good hip hop it just don't stop! Eroyn Franklin, co-founder of Short Run, Seattle's premiere small press comics festival, just dropped off a whole heap of oddly sized, experimental and downright unique comics for the discerning reader. Eroyn's work really comes from a different place than most creators, pulling from influences far outside the comics realm to create thought provoking, insightful and sometimes depressing but always truthful comics about the ever changing world around us.
(W/A) Eroyn Franklin
A man tries to cope with loss by videotaping interviews with people who are connected by a traumatic experience. The mysterious event is slowly revealed through awkward interviews and dreamy noir flashbacks.
