Nothing says Christmas like Monster Fan Club (true in fact, if not in spirit)!  It was originally slated for a Halloween release, but, of course, as we all know, sometimes things don't go as planned in the comic book world.  But hey, what does it matter, really?  Here we have an Giant Size (8 1/2" x 12") full color comic book printed on high grade flat white stock with heavy cardstock cover (by Shaky Kane, natch').  The feature attraction is a creepy creation of Shaky Kane and Jason T. Miles, "Blood on Blood," but there's more!  A couple short pieces by the elusive Noel Freibert, an exclusive Monster Fan Club edition of Video Tonfa by Tim Goodyear, a Jesse McManus five-pager, a Chris Cilla one-pager, a glossy pullout centerfold poster (of a high concept cartoon Godzilla! by Daria Tessler, no less) and inside front cover by Ken Landgraf.  And, we saved the best (for Copacetic customers anyway) for last:  the issue opens up with a made-in-Pittsburgh three-pager by "The Diabetic Dracula", aka Copacetic customer, Joshua Rievel! (thus the honorary "made-in-Pittsburgh" appelation for this item).

BACK IN STOCK!

FROM THE ARCHIVES: We just came across a nice stack of copies of this unique, personal expression of video viewing.

Here's the hype-up from its publisher, Floating World Comics:

"Features 300 of Tim Goodyear’s movie reviews with hand drawn recreations of the movie’s original advertising or VHS box art.

In 2009, Tim Goodyear turned his sketchbook into a journal of the movies he watched, focusing on VHS & DVD for an eclectic & personal film history. For each video he redrew the original box art & substituted the text with his own reflections. Video Tonfa is more than a book of movie reviews, it’s a chronic memoir of over 300 video visitations.

Tim Goodyear is a fundamental figure in Pacific Northwest DIY media who has been involved with comics, zines, and video for many years. His publishing imprint, Teenage Dinosaur, has published works by Matt Furie, Julia Gfrorer, Dash Shaw, and others."

“Goodyear has allowed the simple love of film and the evocation of pleasure or pain that each bring out in him to be the focus, filling up the page with a visual diary that is not unlike the ones of your youth.” –Forces of Geek

“Video Tonfa is a great read for film watchers, casual and cult-lover alike. Goodyear’s reviews are both personal and unpredictably hilarious.” –Portland Mercury

“A fascinating and consistently hilarious account of the omnivorous maturation of one man’s film diet over the course of nearly seven years.” –Paste Magazine
