LOCAL COMIX SPOTLIGHT!!!

CHAD and CAT SCRATCH FEVER

(W/A) Andrew (Paz) Schons

Interior pages from CHAD by Andrew Schons

Andrew Schons brings us a couple of stream-of-consciousness zines.
Cat Scratch Fever is a disturbing comix tale about a magical cat who hires a rabbit prostitute to purge some of his vilest urges, but the tables are swiftly turned. ADULTS ONLY.
Chad is an illustrated story about a young woman who discovers a sentient cyst growing from her side, and her desperate attempts to rid herself of this menace. MATURE READERS.
Schons' primitive style is well suited to the disturbing tales he brings to bear in these frightening looks at the darker side of human existence.

NEW LOCAL COMIX!

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.

DEAR DEAR
