Hoo boy…
So a few weeks back we informally dropped that Heidi MacDonald of The Beat had generously offered her minicomics collection to SPX as a contribution to the Small Press Expo Permanent Collection at the Library of Congress.
Well it’s time to start sharing some of this cool stuff with you, all of which will be documented and accessible for all time at the LOC - forever preserving these independent voices in comics and cartooning.
Three great books start us off, including circa 2000 work from Craig Thompson, Dave Roman, Jason Ho, Jeff Zornow and Matt Feazell!
Take a look!
Next up?
That time that guy Frank came to SPX and brought some minicomics.

This is the first page of Kel McDonald and my story from original horror anthology The Sleep of Reason.
The Sleep of Reason is a 360-page black-and-white anthology of horror comics for mature readers. Inspired by likes of Taboo, Uzumaki and Black Hole, this collection is devoid of the familiar by design. There are no garden-variety monsters in The Sleep of Reason; no well-worn terrors from film and television. This is an anthology of comics that strive to inspire unparalleled dread.
No monsters with a rule book. No easy answers.
If you’d like to see the rest, please help fund the book over at Kickstarter! There are some really cool rewards—$100 can get you the book plus an original page from our story—and the lineup is intimidatingly cool.
I drew this page and several with it for a cool short! Send this bad boy your money!

“When men feel inconsequential, it’s easier to blame women than it is to confront patriarchy-the true source of the diminishment and lack of meaning in so many men’s lives. When men feel unloved and disconnected, it’s easier to accuse women of not loving them well enough than it is to consider men’s own alienation from life. It’s easier to think of women as keeping men from the essence of their own lives than it is to see how men’s participation in patriarchy can suffocate and kill the life within themselves. It’s easier to theorize about powerful, devouring mothers than to confront the reality of patriarchy.
Beneath the massive denial of men’s power and responsibility and its projection onto women is an enormous pool of rage, resentment, and fear. Rather than look at patriarchy and their place within it, many men will beat, rape, torture, murder, and oppress women, children, and one another. They will wage mindless war and offer themselves up for the slaughter, chain themselves to jobs and work themselves to numbed exhaustion as if their lives had no value or meaning beyond controlling or being controlled or defending against control, and content themselves with half-lives of confused, lost deprivation. What men lack, women didn’t take from them, and it isn’t up to women to give it back.”

This animation is absolutely glorious. Just take a moment to appreciate that this was all done by somebody’s hand; that they slaved over this, and this was the result of a human, not a computer. It’s completely perfect.
How about the fact that the reflection is Ariel and Eric?
