Young American Comics'

small town/BIG CITY (out of print)

From the YAC website:
"Grab your passport, pack your suitcase and join us on a trip around the glove in this stunning collection of autobiographical stories about small towns and big cities.
Young American Comics proudly presents its sixth annual Open-Invite Group Anthology: small town/BIG CITY takes us on an adventure through exciting, compelling and often amusing stories from over forty different artists and writers.
Includes stories from Young American Comics favorites: Shawn Amberger, Nate Higley, Dale Wallain, Barbara Houck, Victoria Panos, Andrew Rolfe, Edwin Ushiro, Bill Drastal, KC Green, Lars Brown, Kurt Dinse, Tod Parkhill, Josh Kenedy, B. Wilkison, Matt McCain, JT Yost, Corey Marie Parkhill plus many others!
194 Pages.
Cover Illustration by Nate Maldonado.
Some stories may not be suitable for younger readers."
The personal anecdote that became our short story collaboration City For a Dime was inspired during a smoke break by my good friend Amanda Robertson.

Unfortunately, Tod & Corie Marie's new rugmuncher, along with the extremely shitty 2008-2009 economic crisis, has forced them into closing YAC's doors. I will always remember YAC fondly for their 52 Comic Challenges, an incomplete series that inspired me greatly. The Virtual Comics link in the LH menu features several of my challenges, plus three stories I submitted before they closed up shop.

Young American Comics will be missed.

Why, oh, why am I so Goddamn awesome?

...you turn me on more than a cattle prod to the prostate.
