Big Hands #9

Aaron's best issue yet, Big Hands #9 is a whopping 72-page storytelling extravaganza. As always Aaron's work is personal, mood-infused, and intimately detailed. In ish 9 we get the story of caring for a physically disabled sibling, talk of love and tornadoes, subculture and work. (Make sure to check out his Cometbus review!) One of the best writers in zinedom, Aaron gives a very dependable product that gets better each issue, his ideas and essay writing building a comfortable, thought-provoking, oft-times troubled universe to sit down with and dip right in. From his Microcosm release Unemployment to his writing for Vice and the New York Times, we vouch heavily for Aaron Lake Smith's writing. If you haven't checked his stuff out yet, let this issue be your gateway. The Joan Didion of the zine world? We think so.
