Title: ZARJAZ - Small Press
Post by: WoD on 13 September, 2004, 06:22:50 PM
Is this still running?  Does the person(S) who were involved post on here?  I have a couple of them but FP in Cardiff stopped selling them a while back so I'd like to know if they are still available or if there is a website, etc.?

Cheers,
WoD.

I think Andrew Lewis took some time off to do some real-wrold stuff, i've not heard from him for a while. Logan? Anyone?

I had stories in one and two, and a three and four came out. There was supposed to be a fifth which I wrote a story for but I haven't really heard anything for ages. I know Andrew and his wife had a baby, so I'm sure his time is pretty much taken up.

Zarjaz (Andrew Lewis, and contributor Matt Thomas) is based in South Wales (correct me if I'm wrong, crill), so if there ever is a number 5, it's a fairly safe bet Forbidden Planet in Cardiff will sell it. There was no new Zarjaz at the Bristol con back in April, so it sounds to me having a family taking precedence hypothesis is a likely one.

I hope there will be a fifth edition before long, because it is, well... Zarjaz!

I wrote to him a while back (via email) to ask about availability of #3 & 4, but never got an answer! :-(

I hope it is still going because I was going to have a strip in #5.  Oh, and 'cos it is actually a really good small-press comic, even if you were of a mind to deduct marks for fan-fiction.

I had no response to e-mails, but I didn't know he'd had a baby.  He's probably just getting his priorities sorted out!  Hope he's happy whatever he decides to do, best of luck to him!

I picked up issue 1 at Moniaive, which was the only one I was missing.  It is a good anthology, I was almost tempted to submit something for issue 5, but I'll never get around to it now, too many of my own comics to write.

I can understand why it's on the back-burner if he's had a baby, although the lack of sleep could make for an interesting editorial slant...
