Mineshaft #25 $7.00
– A comic-driven all-star zine. In addition to nice short comics by C. Tyler and Nina Bujevac, Sophie and R. Crumb let you peek at their sketchbooks and R. also gives you a glimpse of his dream diary- where we learn that he’s even a curmudgeon while sleeping. ALSO of note: Kim Deitch reviews the Crumb Genesis comic, Simon Deitch talks dodos and Pat Moriarity has a nice bar comic and Jim Blanchard does a glorious drawing of a bear. Feels real family-style, if your family was all famous cartoonists.
