Author Description

The Phoenix Productions "anything goes" anthology shifts gears and offers a full-issue spotlight on Matt Levin of Walking Man Comics. Matt has been making minicomics using rubber stamp art for over 40 years, and this edition of Strange Times allows him to offer a sampler and retrospective on his work over the years. Minicomic recreations, full-page illustrations, digital headers and more draw you into his creative, lyrical world. --- "FUN STUFF: "My longtime friend Matt Levin has been self-publishing his exquisite 'Walking Man' minicomics since the late 1980s; I've kept the copies I have of the first few issues and a scattering of subsequent issues and poetry 'stamp' comics Matt either sent my way or I picked up elsewhere. "Out of the blue, Tom Fellrath and his excellent, eclectic zine STRANGE TIMES has published a marvelous 'Worlds of Walking Man' retrospective of Matt's WALKING MAN minicomics, in STRANGE TIMES #3 (2023), and I can't recommend this collection highly enough. I've always loved Matt's minis and his skill as a sage & loving wordsmith, and this collection is precisely that: an act of love, cover-to-cover. "Not to be missed." -- Stephen Bissette (Swamp Thing, Taboo, Tyrant) ----- 2024 United Fanzine Award winner for Best Publisher
