Zero Zero #1, March 1995
Zero Zero was a comics anthology from Fantagraphics that ran for 27 issues. Packed with pieces from the great independent artists of their time, many of the stories published in Zero Zero have strong standing within the medium despite being obscured in this relatively less known series. A lot of work was serialized here, with this issue beginning multi-issue arcs from Ted Stearn and Frank Stack to name a few. In this opening issue, some major highlights include Mary Fleener's short one-page strip, Collier's charming piece on the impact of nostalgia on humanity, and Holzman's woodcut piece (my personal favorite of the bunch).
Stories included in Zero Zero #1:
- "Nostalgia in the Late 20th Century" by David Collier
- "Fuzz & Pluck" by Ted Stearn
- "The Sea Wolf by Jack London" by Mary Fleener
- "Over the Hill with Jesus" by Frank Stack
- "The Great Disease" by Henriette Valium
- Untitled piece from Michael Dougan and the Deitch brothers
- "In the Subway" by Max Andersson
- "The Man with the Big Head" by David N. Holzman
- "They Rolled the Whole Bed Out of There" by Charles Bukowski & Pat Moriarity
- "Mark's Friend, Woody" by Mike Diana
- Front cover art by Gary Panter, and back cover art by Glenn Head. Inside cover piece by J.R. Williams
