Zines
Syndicate Product #18.4 by AJ Michel $1.00 – A list of much of the media consumed by Our Lady of Zine Awesomeness, A.J. Michel. I always look forward to her concise life-lessony responses to the media she consumes, and often she gets me into new things. Even better than Nick Hornby’s “Stuff I’ve Been Reading” column in The Believer. Books, movies, TV shows, music, comics, magazines and more.
My Aim Is True #4 by Carrie $1.00 – Carrie has done it again. Another awesome zine that’s hard to put down. Wise conclusions and compelling reading about stuff like self-image, sex and more. And of course, her crafty cut and paste aesthetic is neato. -LM

Comic Collection of 3 Stories by Clara Bessijelle $5.00 – Bessijelle’s got one of my favorite drawing lines- bold, detailed, funny and sensitive. Her comics look like collaged pencil sketches made from photo collages accompanied by a sinister formal comic timing that reminds me of Edward Gorey’s work without resembling it visually. This collection of 3 steel-eyed short ones runs like a tour 3 elaborately wallpapered parlors each with their own magic and secrets. -EF

OK OK You Smote Me Stories by Al Burian (Quimby’s Exclusive) $3.00 – Quimby’s alum and international zine curmudgeon Al Burian has crafted a new zine exclusively for the store, the second in our “Quimby’s Exclusive” line of periodicals. In OK OK You Smote Me, Al takes us around the corner to his mayhem-prone stint on Wicker Park’s Dean Street, unhexing his way-too-hexed apartment and watching the tumult as Old Chicago takes a scraggly, low-level “stand” against encroaching yuppie “neighborhood improvement”. Compelling, humorous and wistful, with that trademark Burn Collector balance of heart and snark. -EF

10. The Field Guide to the Aliens of Star Trek The Next Generation Season One by Joshua Chapman $2.00 – Liz got so nerded up about this one she entered it into our database as “Field Guide to the Aliens of TNG S1” so when I looked up simply “Star Trek” it was not to be found because I had failed to enter the correct nerd code. I imagine this will provoke a similar reaction in some of you and you will rip into this reprint of 7th Grader Joshua Chapman’s obsessive cataloguing of the “Next Gen” alien species, complete with pictures and a star rating system. -EF

Orange Sunshine: The Brotherhood of Eternal Love and Its Quest to Spread Peace Love and Acid to the World by Nicholas Schou (Thomas Dunne) $15.99 – Just days after California became the first state in the union to ban LSD, the Brotherhood formed a legally registered church in its headquarters at Mystic Arts World on Pacific Coast Highway in Laguna Beach, where they sold blankets and other countercultural paraphernalia retrieved through surfing safaris and road trips to exotic locales in Asia and South America. Before long, they also began to sell Afghan hashish, Hawaiian pot (the storied “Maui Wowie”), and eventually Colombian cocaine, much of which the Brotherhood smuggled to California in secret compartments inside surfboards and Volkswagen minibuses driven across the border. This book explores how America moved from the era of peace and free love into a darker time of hard drugs and paranoia.
