After a long hiatus... independent, avant garde comics publisher, 2dCloud is back!  There's no better place to celebrate their return than in the pages of this first issue of their new anthology title, Compact Magazine.  Edited by 2dCloud publisher, Raighne Hogan, readers are presented with 76 pages of all new material – comics, drawings, photography, poetry, fiction and hybrids – that ranges far and wide, including:  comics by Morgan Vogel and Yvan Alagbé; an illustrated interview with Brian Bamps; poetry by Liza Kotlar; drawings by Katherine Dee; photos by Sarah Cuje; a new short story by Samuel Delaney (!); and more. 

PLUS, there are an additional 54 pages of previews (making for 130 pages of material in all) featuring work that will appear in upcoming 2dCloud publications, including Maggie Umber, Jason Overby, Tara Booth, Ash H.G., Paul Peng and – most exciting for us here at Copacetic – Lale Westvind, whose long promised solo collection, Grand Electric Thought Power Mother (Best title of all time?  Maybe!) is now on the schedule for December 2023 release.
