Here's the fourth issue of the hand crafted comic book anthology, Cram!

Edited by Andrew Alexander, this issue features 50 pages of risograph comics each of which takes its own approach to storytelling comics making and color (including two contributors who eschew it all together), all enclosed by a frenetically detailed wraparound cover by Max Burlingame.

The drawing on hand here ranges from clean line to rat line, the layouts from 30-panel pages to the full page splashes, all in the service of highly imaginative comics.

Artists featured this issue are:  Kim Deitch, Gabriel Mason Howell, David King, Katie Lane, Paul Peng, Jake Terrell, Marc Torices & Beatrix Urkowitz.  

 And don't forget:  handmade = limited quantity; the first two issues of Cram are already out of print, and the third won't last much longer...
