>> LIMITED SUPPLY <<

Here are the publisher details:

Cookie Nights, the newest from prolific cartoonist, painter, and musician Andres Magan, guides us through the memories of Vigo resident Piero, as he looks back on his experiences abroad. A story rife with misunderstandings & threats both real & imagined, Magán builds a paranoia-fueled narrative that captures the varying frictions & antagonisms that can accompany those in unfamiliar places & how they can change a person. A compelling entry in the body of work by a consistent source of inspiration from the Spanish small-press comics scene.

Andres Magan is an artist based in Vigo, Spain. In addition to their self-published work, he has releases with publishers such as Colorama, Apa-Apa, Fosfatina, and Kus!, amongst others. His comics practice spans avant-garde short-form as well as a strip series & graphic novels primarily aimed at children. He's also the co-founder of the small-press label Noche Liquida & has taken on artwork duties for bands such as Aries and Ratatat.

Zine Panique, Extra Pellicula (Outside the Movie) is listed as #1, implyting more to come...?  This is a cool concept and a good issue, so it seems like it "has legs"

And the concept?  Each contributor picks a film and imagines an extra scene, in the form of a short comic.  In the 60 glossy pages of this square bound softcover, the stories unfold in black & white, duo-tone and full color.  Some are wordless, some are in English and somes are in French, and the publisher has thoughtfully included an insert sheet providing a panel-by-panel translation of the French language works into English, so it's a simple matter those Anglophones non-conversent en français to follow along.

Front and back covers by Sammy Harkham (and back cover is a full color 12-panel comic!)

Comics: by Ethan Llewellyn, Matthew Thurber, Andres Magan, Steve Grove, David Enos, Léo Quievreux x Samplerman, Jemma Sharp (aka J. Webster Sharp), Corinne Halbert, David Brohet, Telmo Braun and Masse

And, the chosen films for which the extra scene has been imaged are:  Edwin S. Poeter's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland (the first, from 1910); Tod Browning's Freaks; Fellini's La Notti di Cabiria; John Sturges''s The Great Escape; Jaques Rivette's Celine and Julie Go Boating; Ken Russell's The Devils;  Nicholas Gessner's The Little Girl Who Lies Down the Lane; Robert Altman's 3 Women; Fellini Satyricon; Eraserhead; Transpotting; and Tampopo.

Added fun bonus:  match the comic makers to the films,  then check your guesses once it arrives in the mail. 

NOTE:  Limited to 300 copies (hand numbered!)

LIMIT: One copy per customer.
