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.

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.
