Springbreak SALE at jimrugg.com - self-published zines and comics restocked
Hello, Kayfabers —
My latest self-published zines and comics are now available on my website, jimrugg.com/shop.
1986
1986 zine is part history, part celebration of the greatest year in comics history! In 1986, the Dark Knight, Maus, Watchmen, manga, self-publishing, graphic novels, and comic book stores changed American comics forever! The 1986 zine collects art, ads, media, 1st appearances, quotes, press releases, editorials, covers, articles, comics, and reviews about the big ideas, books, and creators that made 1986 monumental! Whether you're reliving it or visiting 1986 for the first time -- this zine will entertain and surprise you! The most magical year in comics history like you've never seen it before!
BW
"In BW, cartoonist and comics archivist Jim Rugg curates a collection of brilliant, weird, oddball and otherwise graphically intense artwork from the black and white comics boom of the 80’s and 90’s. A master course in questionable taste."-- John Porcellino, King-Cat Comics
In 1984, Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird self-published the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Their success inspired thousands of others to enter the low-stakes world of black-and-white comic book publishing. These comic books came from towns all over America and featured some of the weirdest, wildest, best, and worst comics ever seen! The BW zine is a collage of found art, text, and design celebrating this misbegotten era of comics.
