Mackey, Jim – Air Mail

Air Mail

Quick, everybody check that cover out and tell me what the title of this book is. I have no idea at all (and no, the inside doesn’t help), so instead of writing everything on the title I’m going with “air mail”. It’s not on the website either, but this might be new for SPACE, so maybe it’ll be up there soon. Anyway, the comic. It’s only about four pages, so there’s not much to say (apparently I got a lot of tiny comics at SPACE, which wasn’t the intention). What there is to say isn’t good, unless this is an experiment in minimalism, in which case I still don’t get it. It’s a dry-as-a-bone rundown of the trip described in the telegram on the inside cover, no frills at all. You can see for yourself with the sample about the art. Looking at the website it seems like there’s some interesting stuff there, so I guess I just picked up the wrong one at the con, but I didn’t get much of anything out of this one. Let’s call it $1 and leave it at that…
