For the last seven years, Noah Van Sciver has been honing his storytelling and draftsmanship in the pages of Blammo, his one-man anthology. Issue #8 of the series delivers eight wonderful pieces in forty pages, showing yet again that the pamphlet comic is still a critical tool in the medium of comic art.
Aside from Blammo stalwarts āChicken Stripsā and āPunks vs. Lizardsā, this issue contains a wonderful broken heart/ghost story, a Grimm Brothers fairytale, a dream comic and a little bit of surreal goodness.
"BLAMMO 8 is a tour through the most pressing storytelling needs of an indie creator on the move, trying to decide the modes that suit his work best, but itās also a highly compressed intensive labor that, even if composed over time, represents a substantial new body of work. His commentary on the role of BLAMMO in his life provided in the book suggest that it contains some of the things that are most strongly on his mind right now and the things that heās simply itching to draw and thatās exciting for readers because its so direct, personal, and unfettered." -- Hannah Means-Shannon, The Beat
