The new Smoke Signal all-comics newspaper is out. You can pick one up in Brooklyn at Desert Island on 540 Metropolitan (and a few other places, like Daddy's) for free. You can also mail order one. Here are the first few panels of my contribution to this great publication:
P.S.
Gabe Fowler of Desert Island is unstoppable. When I first met him he was all "I'm gonna open a comics shop." Yeah, right. Five months later a mutual friend was asking me "Have you been to Gabe's store yet? It opened last week." A few months after that he was all "I'm gonna publish a free, all-comics newspaper with both unknown talent and established comics masters." Okay, Gabe, sure. Three months later the first issue was out. Around that time he was all "I wanna have a comics festival in Brooklyn." I thought he was thinking out loud, fantasizing. Three months later the first installment of this happened, and the next one is happening in December, with special guests already lined up. If Gabe wasn't playing for the good guys, we'd all be in serious trouble.
Pick up the new issue of Smoke Signal to read about Lester Bangs' '77 trip to Jamaica. Co-starring Bob Marley and Lee Perry. Get it at Desert Island or various locations around Brooklyn. It's all comics, and it's free. If you don't live in NYC and want one, pretty soon they'll have it up on their web shop, where you can get it for the price of postage.
Read my latest published comic, "The First Literary Work of Honoré de Balzac," in the new Smoke Signals, the free all-comics newspaper printed and distributed by the indefatigable Gabe Fowler at Desert Island. The issue debuted at FABCGN (which totally went off). You can pick up SS3 at the store and other places, like maybe your favorite bar.
