This first issue of Nincompoop is quite a comic book.  Forty, full color, Golden Age comic book size pages brimming over with densely packed, finely rendered old school comics that should be welcomed with open arms into the homes of readers of Hup, Eightball, Collier's, Blammo, Happy Hour in America and other such fine comic books that place an emphasis on combining quality writing in art in the service of creating finely crafted comics.  Check in with Mueller HERE and take a look at the kind of work you can expect to find populating the pages of this swell comic book, which, by the way, has been produced in a run of only 500 copies, so don't delay!

Believe it or not, Mineshaft #45 is the 25th Anniversary Issue!  How?!?

It features a trippy-yet-appropriate wrap-around cover by Aaron Horkey, along with a slew of new work by a bigger than ever roster of contributors, including R. Crumb, Drew Friedman, Aaron Horkey, Billy Childish, Mary Fleener, Christoph Mueller, Gunnar Lundkvist, Simone Baumann, David Collier, Glenn Head, Aaron Lange, Kim Deitch, Sophie Crumb, Bill Crook, Max Clotfelter, Robert Armstrong and Kayla E.

Also:  letters from around the world & more!
