JIM CAMPBELL'S KRACHMACHER TO DEBUT AT SPX
 
Krachmacher

Jim Campbell’s Xeric award winning Krachmacher contains three stories: "At the Shore", "Unsere Freund", and "Shipwrecked Hopes". "At the Shore" centers around Marianne, a teenager who finds herself involved in a seemingly mundane adventure that grows increasingly more bizarre as she and her friends become integral players in it. This quirky character drama introduces Marianne and her four friends. The other, more subtle, narrative arc of "Unsere Freund" revolves around the surreal flashbacks Marianne suffers through — taking her back to memories of her family and her strange childhood. The flashbacks maintain a level of magical realism; we don’t quite know if they’re truth or fiction, but it reveals to the reader how desperate Marianne is to be understood by her friends, who, at this stage of the narrative, would rather not get involved. The last story, "Shipwrecked Hopes", is a simple, humorous tale, light tone and is a perfect companion piece for Krachmacher.

The book’s title, Krachmacher, translates as “noise maker”. And while it’s not terribly important that this fact be understood by the reader, it does mirror the conflicts that many of the characters Jim Campbell writes about face — overwhelmed with emotion, they make noise, either real or metaphorical, to drown out their problems.

Mature Readers, 48 pages, full-color, deluxe graphic novel, 6” by 7½”, $6.50. ISBN: 1-891867-85-7

ADHOUSE PICKS UP 2004 ISOTOPE WINNER
 
AdHouse Books announces their plans to publish Skyscrapers of the Midwest by Josh Cotter.

Capturing the rural solitude and sadness of a land full of anthropomorphic country cats, Skyscrapers of the Midwest hits a nerve that would make a grown man cry. With stories of childhood trauma and exploration, this comic gives voice to a new creator within our field... a creator that was awarded the 2004 Isotope Award for Excellence in Mini-Comics.

James Sime, of the Isotope comic store, had this to say about AdHouse and Skyscrapers, "For me, personally, this has been the best news of all of 2004. Josh's work is a thing of beauty and without a doubt, Skyscrapers of the Midwest is one of the best comic books I've read all year long."

Look for the first issue of Skyscrapers of the Midwest by AdHouse Books in December. This issue will collect the first two issues of the almost out-of-print mini-comic into standard comic format. The second issue is planned for some time next year.

GRRR!3 in Serbia - October 2-7
 
The third edition of GRRR! - International Comics Festival - will be held at various locations in the town of Pancevo, Serbia, from the 2nd to the 7th of October, 2004. The Pancevo Gallery of Contemporary Arts and Apollo, a former cinema, will be the locations where comics exhibitions, workshops, panel discussions, projections as well as concerts and other interesting events will happen.

Additional features of the Festival will be held at such unusual locations as a shoe shop, a pastry shop and a newspaper office.

The third day of the festival will be marked by a GRRR! Excursion that will convey the entire event and guest artists to the ethnic Slovak village of Kovachitza where local creative artistry will be presented through comics, painting, photography and concerts by alternative music bands.

GRRR!3 will host international artists such as Pat Mills, one of the co-creators of the 2000 AD series and outstanding comic characters including Judge Dredd, a comics scriptwriter who has been active in the British scene since the early '70s. Mills is also a scriptwriter of the impressive anti-war chronicle comics Charley's War and is currently involved in three comics series collaborations with French artists.

As a continuation of GRRR!'s collaboration with Oxford's Caption Convention, this year's GRRR! will host two British small press authors, Jeremy Dennis and Lee Kennedy. Also introduced will be European magazines/collectives/alternative publishers such as Inguine from Italy and two Austrian ventures, Tonto Comics from Graz and Mixer Comics from Vienna. Muhamed Kafedzic, a representative of the Sarajevo Comics School, will address the thesis that a passion for comics should be nurtured and encouraged among the new generations.

Following its premier show in Munich, an exhibition, "The Devil's Toonbox," will be presented as part of GRRR!3, curated by rock and comics journalist Martin Posset. This show consists of album covers (vinyl and CD) and other musical ephemera designed by underground cartoonists. Posset points to the connections between the music and comics scenes. Following that theme, a special guest of the Festival will be Slobodan Tisma (ex-Luna, La Strada), one of the Serbia's "off" scene cult musicians, whose music will be illuminated by drawings by Lee Kennedy in a live sketching performance.

A special feature of this year's GRRR! festival will be the Jacovitti exhibition, curated by comics editor and publisher Andrea Plazzi. This exhibition is in homage to Benito Jacovitti (1923-1997), one of the most respected and nuttiest Italian cartoonists and illustrators. (Jacovitti was also present in the Yugoslav press from the 1960s). Prints, publications and original drawings by the artist will be shown, together with works and an appearance by Nedeljko Bajalica, an Italian artist of Serbian origin, who was the maestro's assistant during a five-year collaboration.

Among GRRR!'s cameo exhibitions will be the "Body Comics" show, which came out of the spontaneous outburst of creativity at Tonto Comics Festival in Graz, where artists started to make photocopies of their own body parts adorned with comic drawings.

An exhibition of work by Serbian artists including Aleksandar Zograf, Wostok, Maja Veselinovic, Sasa Mihajlovic, Kosmoplovci, Letac, Vuk Palibrk, Kuhinja, Aleksandar Opacic, Bureq des Merdes, Looney and others, will be a chance for the audience to be introduced to the latest developments of the alternative comics scene in Serbia and Montenegro. During the festival, local production will be promoted via talks and presentations as well as through the projection of the short films by some of these authors.

In addition, the exhibition: Comics in Serbia 1945-1955 (curated by Zdravko Zupan) is the next installment in the series of GRRR! festival offerings produced to explore the historical heritage of Serbian comics. In this installment, postwar editions of Serbian comics, along with preserved original drawings will be on display. The postwar era was a difficult period when comics were criticized as being ideologically incorrect and sometimes banned by the censors of the newly-established government still under the heavy Soviet influence. Despite this, comics survived such unfavorable conditions and even some new magazines were started in Serbia. Through research by comics historian Zdravko Zupan, this heritage will be preserved and critically observed.

Zupan is also the curator of a small "In Memoriam" expo at GRRR!3 dedicated to Ratomir Ruvarac, one of the Belgrade's forgotten cartoonists, who died earlier this year.

As part of the additional program, for the 3rd time in a row GRRR! will host a program by Mr. Spiral, who works as a salesman in a local shoe shop in Pancevo. Mr. Spiral will present an exhibition of painted shoes and will ask other artists to join him in sharing the joys of decorating shoes at this special workshop.

Pancevo's weekly newspaper, Pancevac, which has the highest print run of any local paper in Serbia and Montenegro, has proclaimed its office to be an Open Gallery where a show called "Everybody Reads Pancevac" will promote a new comics edition entitled 'Kais'. This is a collection of works by various artists whose comic strips have been published in Pancevac.

Last but not least, Pancevo's pastry shop Popovic, which has been around since the 1930s, will for the first time host an exhibition. Gordana Basta will present her embroideries based on drawings by Aleksandar Zograf. Plus, free cakes will be served to everyone!

A FEW PERFECT HOURS LAUNCH PARTY - NYC, SEPTEMBER 23
 


From cartoonist Josh Neufeld:

WHAT:
A Few Perfect Hours book release party

Come by after work and stay to celebrate the debut of my 128-page graphic travelogue, A Few Perfect Hours (and Other Stories From Southeast Asia & Central Europe). It's all set to happen at Jigsaw, the new coolio venue for independent/small press comics, handmade art, and shoestring media. Established this summer by dapper host Benjones, Jigsaw is located in New York's East Village. (More information can be found at JigsawNYC.com.)

So swing on by to say hi, pick up copies of the book, view a small exhibit of my original art, and belly up to the open bar. And bring your friends!

WHEN:
Thursday, September 23rd, 2004
6 pm 'til midnight

WHERE:
Jigsaw, 526 East 11th Street (between Aves. A & B)
New York City, 212.777.7845

WHY:
In A Few Perfect Hours, we accompany main characters Josh and Sari on such offbeat adventures as a cave expedition in Thailand, a train-ride through war-torn Serbia, and a stint as extras in a Singaporean soap opera. Eddie Campbell (Alec, From Hell) calls A Few Perfect Hours "A worthy addition to the growing list of serious comic books that have made the form a significant cultural event of our times." Harvey Pekar (American Splendor) finds it "... emotionally gripping. I really dig A Few Perfect Hours." And Jeff Smith (Bone) calls the book "a wonderful and realistic journal of adventure travel by a talented and observant cartoonist."

A Few Perfect Hours (and Other Stories From Southeast Asia & Central Europe), funded by a grant from The Xeric Foundation, is 128 pp., dark blue ink on cream-colored paper, ISBN: 1-891867-79-2, Diamond Item Code: JUL04 2534, and priced at $12.95.

You can find more information about A Few Perfect Hours at www.indyworld.com/josh and www.JoshComix.com

WHAT'S JON LEWIS UP TO?
 
Jon Lewis of True Swamp and "Modern Norse Elf Lives" on his current creative activities:

To my chagrin, I've been unable after several attempts to make any substantial sales to DC since losing the Robin slot. For the moment, I've given up on the "professional writing" thing. It was awfully nice making a living from writing for two years, though, and (duh) I'd love to do it again. Anybody who knows the secret tunnel entrance to TV Scripting Land should lemme know.

All this year, I've been temping at a kitchenwares/housewares company. The upside to making a living from office work is that all my creative thought goes to my own stuff. The downside is that there isn't much time or energy left over to work on it, so stories progress slowly. The other downside is my overly busy imagination – I'm chipping away at about five different stories right now:

1. The next True Swamp. This is begun, but not very far along yet. Since it'll be another large "annual" size like the last two, don't look for it anytime soon.

2. Neverglades. This is an approximately 30-page one shot about a pair of fishermen. It's an urban fantasy with characters who look like Muppets. This is halfway done in pencil... once pencils are done I usually ink very fast, so it could conceivably be finished by the end of the year. I've had terrific response to this one from early perusers.

3. A story about a superhero team, close in visuals to my Ghost Ship pirate style, but with normal panel grids. I'm drawing this in my sketchbook when I'm in a certain mood. Probably the result of the myriad story ideas I couldn't use in my mainstream superhero gig because they were either too weird or too innocent. I'll make it into a digest-size mini when it's done, unless I decide to drown it before then.

4. A related genre piece, this time a 30-page traditional barbarian fantasy. Protagonist is a pseudo-Lapplander in a pointy wool cap, with fetish carvings dangling off him, wandering through a frozen landscape. Violence, shamanism and such. Imagine a slower, more atmospheric Conan, except drawn in the most line-reduced, simple and cartoony, unmacho style possible. This is completely written and thumbnailed in my sketchbook – it just needs to be drawn. But do I really want to share this side of myself...?

5. The first 24 pg. issue of a rebuilt Shellmen. This is the closest to finished. Certainly the only thing that would have a chance in hell of being done in time for this year's SPX. Jeff and I actually solicited this a few years ago, but Diamond lost the file, so it didn't appear in the catalog. I got angry and used it as an excuse to sidetrack onto True Swamp Vol. 2, so this has sat completely pencilled and partly inked ever since. It's the beginning of a wholesale reconception of the Shellmen serial I was doing in Spectacles. If you never saw it, it's similar to True Swamp, but the animals and creatures are those you'd find in the city, and the city in question has been hit by some kind of physical and metaphysical catastrophe (or Violent Unexplaned Event, to borrow a perfect term from Peter Greenaway). A new title is needed, as the allusion in "Shellmen" is way too obscure, but I don't have one yet. A few pages overlap with what came out in Spectacles, but those have been redrawn and rewritten. Instead of jumping from character to character every few pages as in the old incarnation, the idea is to follow one character per issue; in the first issue, the toad Arkel. I've taken this out dozens of times since its inital abortive solicitation and stared at it. Lately, I've finally laid some ink to the remaining pages again. If I decide I can stand the thought of having TWO densely-philosophical intelligent-animal-ensemble-cast-worldbuilding stories in progress, then I'll make a 24 pg. digest mini of this for SPX and wait for there to be 100 pages or so amassed before going to Jeff for a "proper" publication... it's financial doom to publish anything shorter than book-length in independent comics these days, after all.

Those are all in addition to dozens of ideas for short stories I don't know what to do with. And The Frost Changes, which needs a rethink.

I'm sure it'd be better if I just focused on one project for a year at a time or something, but that just ain't my head.
