Call for Mini Comics
Michael Dowers, editor of Newave is calling for mini comic submissions for a new two-volume set of hardbound books to be published by Fantagraphics. This series will cover mini comics from the dawn of time (early 70's) to the present. Since Newave (1980’s) has already been covered, the main focus will be on the 1990's to the present although earlier minis will be covered too.

5" x 6" full color mini comix by R. Krauss. 16-pages including cover. Signed and numbered limited edition printing of 100 copies.
"Usually it's the graphic quality of a cover that attracts my attention first when viewing a new comic. Even though this publication has a striking and well done cartoon illustration, it still plays 'second fiddle' to the fantastic production quality of this mini."
