The Tiny Report no. 5

Edited by Robyn Chapman with Haleigh Buck & Robin Enrico. Published by Paper Rocket Minicomics. 

Softcover, 64 pages, Colour and B&W, 2017. 

"The latest issue of Robyn’s Annual Report on the State of Minicomics is a stunner! It features the usual minicomics reviews and reports from micropresses on their output for the year, a comprehensive look at Eleanor Davis’ self-published output along with an interview with Davis, plus a intensive look (with interview) at cartoonist Mike Diana’s Boiled Angel zine and his notorious obscenity conviction (in a disgraceful Florida trial, he became the only US cartoonist ever convicted of artistic obscenity). This zine is absolutely essential for those interested in self-published comics and underground comics history. Highly recommended. 64 digest pages, full color throughout, with fold out database. (Paper Rocket Minicomics)"

"The Tiny Report #5 continues editor/publisher Robyn Chapman’s welcome trend of getting better and more ambitious with each issue, and while the exhaustive fold-out chart that is her annual “Micro-Press Yearbook” is something to behold, for this critic the highlights this time out were the interviews with one of the best cartoonists alive, Eleanor Davis, and one of the most disturbing and original cartoonists of all time, Mike Diana. Tons of mini-comic reviews round out the impressive package, but seriously — these are two of the best Q&A’s offered up anywhere in recent memory."
