Description
Alec Longstreth is a comics-making MACHINE! His motto is “Draw Comics Everyday!” which he takes literally. It’s no surprise that he’s drawn comics even the most die-hard Longstreth fan has never seen. Alec is dedicating issues 022 and 023 of his series Phase 7 to previously published comics from anthologies websites. This issue collects six older comics, as well as one brand new comic!
“Frames” was originally published in Robyn Chapman’s Hey, 4-Eyes! No. 1, a zine all about glasses. At the time this comic was drawn, Alec was known for wearing black-frame glasses without any lenses in the frames. This comic kind of explains why.
“Summer Stock” was originally published in Greg Mean’s Papercutter No. 6 (which is now out-of-print, though some Papercutters are still in print!). This is a comic about hard work and friendship!
“Stars” was drawn specifically for this issue of Phase 7. Alec remembers his soccer coach from childhood who instilled a love for the sport and team-work in his players.
Four other shorter comics round out the anthology covering the ubiquity of cell phones, missed connections, and a mystery branch over the river in White River Junction, VT!
