hilarious, meditative, spiteful, well earned revenge comic

INNER CITY ROMANCE #1 by Guy Colwell



INNER CITY ROMANCE #1
by Guy Colwell
36pp / BW / 7 x 10
$5.00

one of my all time favorite underground comix
super-under-appreciated
which could have something to do with how solid and
challengingly uncomfortable and uncompromising the story is
colwell serves a story with cold moral confidence
racially charged and sexually explicit
the ending will...




FOUR SKETCHBOOKS AND A TABLE OF USEFUL INFORMATION by Bill Griffith, Art Spiegelman, Spain & Justin Green



FOUR SKETCHBOOKS AND A TABLE OF USEFUL INFORMATION
by Bill Griffith, Art Spiegelman, Spain and Justin Green
$2.00


collected sketchbooks from yer favorite ink dippers circa 1973
the bill griffith stuff is awesome and very different from his comix
the spiegelman stuff is silly and expressionist (i prefer his sketches to his comix)
spain's sketchbook work is legendary and very anthropological, similar to crumb and collier
justin green is the master and his sketches will make you think about his work in new ways

THE NEW CHAMBER

hyper realist comix

FICTILIS

10-22-38 Astoria call for entries

Deadline: postmark deadline October 22, 2011

Exhibition dates: November 3 – 26th 2011
(opening reception November 3rd 6-9pm)

FICTILIS seeks submissions of black and white xerographic work of all types and styles. (“Xerography” is a fancy word for photocopying. “10-22-38 Astoria” was the first text/image ever produced using this technology*.) Preferred submissions are black and white on 8-1/2″ x 11″ ( US letter size) text weight paper. There is no submission fee and no limit on the number of submissions (though each submission should be unique). Entries should be mailed (with applicant’s name and contact information on back of each) to the following address:

FICTILIS
210 S Washington
Seattle, WA 98104

Mail entries are preferred, but work may also be submitted as attachments using our submissions form (limit 3 attachments per submission) but all attachments should be formatted for 8 1/2″x11″ black-and-white printing and should have been produced using a xerographic process.

Work will not be returned, unless special arrangements are made prior to submission (contact xero AT fictilis DOT com). All work will be displayed without attribution, though exhibition print/web materials will feature a list of contributors. FICTILIS may create derivative works of any submissions for display/promotional purposes, including assembling remaining copies at end of exhibition into companion book of same title.

Visitors to the exhibition will have the option to 1) make one free copy of anything they bring in, using our onsite machines; 2) purchase for $1 a copy of anything they see on the walls; 3) purchase for $5 the original of anything they see on the walls, provided they replace it with a copy; or 4) purchase the original for $10, without replacing it. $1 sales go to FICTILIS. $5 sales are split 50/50 FICTILIS/Artist. $10 sales go entirely to Artist. [NOTE: Artists must include contact information on the back of every piece submitted in order to be compensated. Failure to do so will be considered forfeiture of compensation in the event the original is sold.]

Applicants are encouraged to include as one of their submissions a xerographic self-portrait made by placing face directly onto glass of photocopy machine.
