McCleary, Washington : Steve Willis, 1994. Reprint of Alas 1-3. Print-on-demand
In the mid-1990s I tried my hand at being an obscuro publisher and distributor (handling unsold inventory for Clay Geerdes and Dale Luciano) as well as reprinting my old stuff on a print-on-demand basis.
But I also brought several works by others into print. I'll be scanning and posting the books where my role was strictly that of an editor and publisher and including them in this blog for the next while.
One artist I was eager to publish and introduce to a wider audience was Sasa Rakezic (a.k.a. Aleksandar Zograf), the Serbian cartoonist who produced a series of chilling and dream-like minicomix fed by his personal experiences from the turmoil in the Yugoslavia. At the time this comic was published, Sasa was still a relatively unknown artist in the United States outside of the obscuro network.
A great example of creation under fire and some of the most interesting comix I've ever read.
