independent comics and zines are the main focus of attention, will be

Date: 07 Oct 1997 17:42:49 -0600 (MDT)


Just FYI: I will be (mostly) offline Friday 10/10 through Monday 10/13.
This should only affect you if you are trying to do one of the following
things:

  * Post a message to the list from an address other than you one you
    joined from
  * Leave the list from an address other than you one you joined from
  * Post a message to the list with excessive quoting of another message in it
  * Post a message to the list that looks like an administrative request
  * Post a message to the list with MIME or binary content

In other words, if you post something over the weekend and it doesn't show up,
it may have been caught by one of the junk filters on the list and would
therefore be dealt with when I return on Tuesday.  Please don't panic.

Dear Jeff Mason,

Hope you don't mind me mailing these details regarding my search for
comics suitable for filmmaking.  If ok by you, please post to your
affiliates:

I operate Media Pool, a filmmakers co-op based in Phoenix, AZ.  I'm
writing You in the hope that you can connect me with writers who would
like to see their comics used for movies.

I'm not terribly concerned with the genre, I just need simple stories
about 80-90 minutes long to be produced with Arizona talent on a
extremely low budget.  The ideal story would be similar to the technical
film requirements in "Clerks" and "Reservoir Dogs".

Feel free to pass this information on, my email is:
[e-mail]

Thank You,
Dean Lachiusa

Cartoon Network's "Dexter's Laboratory" is sweeping the nation, and show
creator Genndy Tartakovsky  explains why in an exclusive interview with
indy Magazine.  Multiple Harvey Award and Eisner Award winner Dan Clowes
gives indy readers his view out from behind his Eightball series.
Ignatz Award winner James Kochalka tells readers how he earned the title
"Superstar".  This issue has a wild Brian Biggs cover who also talks

Special packaged set of issues 1-3 of Humongous Man comic book series

comic market because it breaks from the current mainstream tradition of
manga and anime influences that have crowded today's specialty shops.
Harrison and Stepp draw their influences from the European comics scene,
and the result is a creative synergy of the classic American Superhero
with the eclectic sensibilities and lavish artistic integrity of
European graphic storytelling.
