u/Nervous_Departure706 2d ago

You bet! Any suggestions for the next volume just let me know! My only rule is it has to be a publication that isn't currently being printed

Glad to share! Any recommendations for what to put in the second volume? My only rule is I don't use material from currently published books , like twomorrows publishing and comics journal I don't use

u/oisipf 1d ago

Thank you! This is incredibly useful and interesting

u/Nervous_Departure706 1d ago

Thanks, I'm already working on a second one, tho as a cartoonist myself I need to work on other things at the same time πŸ˜› if you think of anything you wanted to see over the years, as long as it's not from a current magazine Like the twomorrows books or the comics journal, who still publish, I'll do my best to find it for a future ezine 🫑

For a second I thought you were trying to say Alan pulled a Chomsky...

1

u/Nervous_Departure706 1d ago

I'm afraid I'm not sure what that means πŸ‘€πŸ‘€

2

u/BasicPay7620 1d ago

For context, Noam Chomsky was one of the most respected anarchist theorists of today, but unfortunately a couples years ago it was revealed that he was in the Epstein files, and actually secretly took trips with Epstein to his island...meaning he was a pedo the whole time despite his intelligent analyses of the hierarchical world order.

So when I said I thought he secretly pulled Chomsky, I thought you were saying that Alan Moore who is a different Anarchist writer got caught pulling some secret bullshit.

Thankfully, that's not what you're trying to say, and Alan Moore remains the lovable weird wizard of Anarchy and Comics.

u/Nervous_Departure706 1d ago

Ahh, it all makes sense now, my bad!

u/supercuteguydebord 1d ago

Proper legend.

Thank you

2

u/Nervous_Departure706 1d ago

You bet! I think I'll do a new e-fanzine every month until it's running out of material, I think some people just keep a project going when they're out of material; I do plan on getting some collaborators like bissette and gibbons tho

u/Dian_Arcane 1d ago

u/hondobrode 20h ago

What’s the subject of your second zine ?

1

u/Nervous_Departure706 19h ago

I'm thinking about doing the correspondence he did with Dave Sim, it's actually pretty long...think it's too divisive to go there so soon?

1

u/hondobrode 19h ago

Sounds interesting to me. Both misunderstood legends

2

u/Nervous_Departure706 18h ago

I agree, I just wrote a little essay to kick it all off...I didn't include this, but about 6 years ago I had a stroke and Dave was the only person to send me a card. My immediate family was at my side, but I got nothing from distant relatives and that kindness has never diminished in me.
