Hey, 4-Eyes #3: A Zine About Glasses

Hey, 4-Eyes #3: A Zine About Glasses

by Robyn Chapman

A limited edition zine about glasses and the people who wear them! The covers are wrap-around screenprinted, with spray-painted inner covers. The insides are offset printed on off-white paper with 7 of the pages in full color. Content-wise, the zine is just as intricate as its aesthetics. There are comics like a history of glasses, or Hilary Florido's take on fighting a kid with glasses. Alec Longstreth does an in-depth interview with Harry and the Potters about their eyewear and more. Editor Robyn Chapman interviews Chicago's Scott Urban about his profession: making wooden eyeglass frames. Jim Medway provides an essay on the bespectacled comic character Colonel Blink, and C. Frakes has drawn a comic fairy tale about the gift of sight. Hey 4-Eyes is a great read. Pick up this extra-special zine and see for yourself.

I wear glasses, and I love this zine! A bit pricey, but if you're interested in the subject, it's definitely worth buying. Issues #1 and #2 are great as well.
