en Is Dead is edited
and published by Darby Romeo. Publishing the zine out of her Los
Angeles home for the last eight years -- with the help of friends,
family, and the magazine?s readers -- Darby spent the last two
years orchestrating the compilation of Retro Hell between surfing,
power walking, and building her vast media empire.
Another reason for my reserve was I like imagining visual for
myself, instead of having stories all drawn out for me. Now I
see these divergent optical portraits can sometimes be more stimulating
than words alone. And suddenly, unconsciously I find myself utilizing
the style: recreating otherwise awkward life incidents into more
humorous frames of scenes with talk bubbles. And finally, comics
have helped me realize a deep fondness for illustrated representations
of real life characters who otherwise would bore, annoy, or make
me sick: practically everyone looks good (or at least more interesting)
as a comic book character. It is kinda like looking at the world
through rose-tinted X-ray glasses. Give it a try. Get through
this thing and at the very least we guarantee you, too, will be
an even bigger geek than ever before.
Luv 'n newsprint kisses,
darby.
