40. Unwritten vol. 7

the-unwritten-37

Just when you expect Gross & Carey’s literary-metaphysical magnum opus to start buckling down and wrapping up, it gets headier and wilder.

39. Waking Sleeping Beauty

An absolute love song to the guys who resurrected Disney’s majesty after a muddled, disappointing ’80s. The Howard Ashman stuff is inspiring and tragic.

38. Foxing Quarterly

Art directed by Jim Rugg, this might be the best-looking zine we have ever seen.

37. James Ensor

11-Ensor_StAnthony

The powerful works of this turn-of-the-century Belgian expressionist can be seen at the MoMA. The combination of tiny, obsessive detail with big, broad gestures reminded us of our own David Proch.

36. TCAF

We’re headed north again as the Time Machine travels across the border. Now if we could just find our passports…

35. Print Show

Instead of featuring one particular artist, in May we’re filling the gallery with beautiful low-priced prints from our books and our friends. Our buddies sure do make some pretty pictures here…

40. Five Ghosts

Frank Barbieri’s retro-pulp debut is a shot of old-fashioned adventure-comics adrenaline.

39. Rob’s Drawing Table.

Now long defaced by its creator. Burn it down, build again. Nothing gold can stay.

38. The Fabletown Pool Party

You have never seen this many pairs of glasses in a pool.

THE LOCUST MOON TOP 40

Counting down the hits this month

40. UNCANNY X-MEN #1

As dumb as AVENGERS VS. X-MEN may have been, the consequences have energized the X-universe. We love it for, among other things, this Cyclops propaganda poster.

39. HAPPY

Grant Morrison wraps up his tonally schizoid miniseries that draws equally from THE TWILIGHT ZONE, Disney movies, and a half-century of dumb comics about hit men.

38. Trying to find a title for the Locust Moon quarterly comics collection

Any suggestions?

37. Virtual Reality Helmets

Because, as James Bond reminds us, THE WORLD IS NOT ENOUGH.

36. KILL SHAKESPEARE: THE TIDE OF BLOOD

If comics be the food of love, play on. We’re excited for more adventures in the bardosphere.

35. This Cake

Celebrating the first year of the gloriously anachronistic RETROFIT COMICS with cake, booze and arguments.retrofit cake
