OUT NOW!! A group of teenage queer punks get in perpetual trouble with the police when they aren’t flirting over loud music or postering their high school with flyers to allow same sex couples at prom. It’s like they were your actual high school peers – pissing off the administration and taking care of each other when they get beat up by skinheads. Liz Baillie has a real talent for dialogue, characters, storytelling, and capturing New York – especially those moments that we all live, awkwardly making out, pulling pranks, and drinking beer. This graphic novel collects the first five (out of 10) issues of the comic My Brain Hurts. Listen to a 90 min podcast interview with Liz about all things comical! ISBN 978-1-934620-03-8

HERE NOW! Dreamwhip’s Bill Brown returns with 3 new films! The Other Side explores US/Mexico immigration issues and activist groups that supply water and rides to people crossing the border – who are stranded or lost in the desert. At a time when border politics and immigration are all over the news, it’s great to get an independent, emotional, and real piece of film about what is going on. Bill is more like a silent observer showing us what he sees and narrates in a manner that is informative without being totally detached. “Hub City” is a short about Lubbock, TX – the home of Buddy Holly and trajectories of death and small towns. AA Trailer is a goofy short about the joy of film making for The Ann Arbor Film Festival. Shot beautifully on real film, these experimental documentaries represent a hometown of past, present, or future.

Three years after the fact Joe busts out a zine tour based zine about “Cocoon: The Road Trip” from 2004. A collection of hand drawn maps, photos by Dave Roche, and travelling anecdotes from the road, the zine presents a pretty strong case for the idea that zine making and zine tours really are not that hard to put together and can be kind of cool sometimes. Look at all of the great, zany experiences that you, yourself could experience on the road! More than that it’s a look at friendship and the motivators and hard times that one experiences by pushing yourself into more trying and difficult situations. #2 and #3 have also been reprinted for your existential enjoyment!

You ask for it, we re-publish it! This is Nicole Georges & Jon Van Oast’s compilation zine all about….you guessed it, coffeeshop crushes! Submissions from Nicole (Invincible Summer), Shannon Wheeler (Too Much Coffee Man), Shawn Granton (10′ Rule), Joe Biel, James Squeaky (Sincere Brutality), Lizz Zitron, Greig (Clutch), Aaron Renier (Spiral Bound), “Rainman”, Nate Beaty (Brainfag), Brad Adkins (Charm Bracelet), as well as MANY anonymous pieces (go figure!). About half of this zine is comics and the other half is short stories. The most entertaining parts to me were the articles on the sexual nature of a few coffeeshops’ webpages and a comic about a boy who worked in a coffee shop and his story that suddenly jumps into graphic sexual drawings and depictions. You already know you want this. Do yourself the favor.

After the most major financial debacle in our history – Sounds of Your Name is OUT NOW!
Nate Powell’s (Soophie Nun Squad, Boomfancy, Tiny Giants, It Disappears, Walkie Talkie, Conditions, Wonderful Broken Thing, Schwa Sound, Playground Messiah) intricate black & white art focuses on the terrors and pleasures of growing up. Poignantly plumbing the existential angst of youth, he invokes great coming-of-age novels with only a few dozen words. This book collects his self published zines and comics dating back to 1992, his first two graphic novels (Tiny Giants and It Disappears), and new work. These stories build vignette by vignette into a rich tableau of lofty dreams and Deep South disappointment, car crashes and love letters, first kisses and four-tracks. Powell’s work is a reminder of the persistence of wonder against all odds. “It is the best thing I’ve ever drawn” says Nate Powell of the new cover.

A combo pack of super-discounted books! “Controlled Flight into Terrain” by John Yates, “Serpents in the Garden” and “Politics of Anti-Semitism” by Alexander Cockburn and Jeffrey St. Clair, “Pie Any Means Necessary” by Biotic Baking Brigade, “Siege of Gresham” by Ray Murphy, and “Dear President Bush” by Cindy Sheehan. A pile of great books at a super sweet deal! Practically a penny a page!

SECOND EDITION!! The follow up to Green Zine #14; Cristy Road offers an illustrated novel about her years in school in Miami – valiantly trying to figure out and defend her gender identity, cultural roots, punk rock nature, and mortality. You know that the artwork in here makes this a page turner and the new edition is rewritten – so the whole package is more exciting. Cristy has always existed to remind us of the strength and ability of punk youth – for addressing things like rape, homophobia, and mysogyny. This is no exception; giving voice to every frustrated 15 year old girl under fire from her peers for being queer or butch or punk. ISBN 0-9770557-7-9
