Publisher's Synopsis
Altcomics 7 is a genre-bending compilation featuring works of theory, fiction, fashion and interior photography as well new works of art comics by its most exciting practitioners. Smart, funny, lush, ambivalent — A7 features new work of post-Covid Science Fiction by Nova-award winning author Samuel R Delany; prose by Carceral Capitalism author Jackie Wang; Yellow Negroes and Other Imaginary Creatures author Yvan Alagbé; art comics and poetry by Inés Estrada, Kristina Tzekova, Morgan Vogel, Junichiro Saito, Maggie Umber, J.M.K.E, Margot Ferrick, Ash H.G, Steve Grove, Josiah Parker, Sarah Cuje, John Mclalan, Eduardo Andres Crespo, Stephen Z Hayes, and Raighne. Part lifestyle and fashion magazine, part transgressive literary and art comics-anthology. Preceded in turn by an influential blog turned reading series; six zines of artist interviews and conversation evolve with 7 into an ambitious book-length work. A hybrid anthology, operating on internet logic and navigating disparate texts that expand the field of the book. This curated object with it's incidental links between creators, presents strange rhythms and anti-social fixations. It is in search of some transcendent moment — a piece of liberating information. Dedicated to Morgan Vogel, 1986—2020.
