This third issue runs a packed 56 pages filled with essays, reports, reviews, interviews, musings, photos, and... comics!
The highlight for us here at Copacetic is E. S. Glenn's contribution, a two-tiered, double-header consisting of a straight-forward, five-page, magazine-formatted layout of "Murder in the Park" (which received a heavily art-designed layout in LAAB #3, yielding a somewhat different vibe as a result) resting atop a series of five comics strips that together tell the tale of (Art Spiegelman's) "Pencil." Also on hand is Ethan Llewellyn's four-pager, "Nice Tits", which doesn't go where the title leads you to think it would – but might to those already familiar with Llewellyn's (UK-inflected) Clowesian sensibility and Jaime-esque rendering.
Nate McDonough comes clean on the early influences that shaped the sensibilitiies undergirding his long-running series of autiobio shorts that have come to be known as "Longboxes." Brandon Graham likewise muses – in comics form – about some of his long term influences, while the editors "dish the dirt" with Farel Dalrymple and Matt Feazell in a pair of interviews. And much, much more!
Suffice it to say there's a lot on hand here for your hard earned (and rapidly devaluing) dollars.
