![]() ![]() In this volume you will find 18 different entries by 9 different creators, including a few pieces from BLAB! Founder/Editor/Art Director Monte Beauchamp and frequent collaborator Ryan Heshka, whose gouache illustrations can be found throughout (he’s the one who came up with the anthropomorphic gumball cluster with sexy gams on the cover). However, a new issue hasn’t come out in 11 years, so kudos to Dark Horse and Yoe Books on reviving this publication for 2023. While this is billed as the Premiere Issue, it’s hardly the first iteration of BLAB!, which has existed since the 1980s in various forms from various publishers, including Kitchen Sink, Fantagraphics and Last Gasp. I hadn’t finished reading this book before I'd recommended it to a couple of friends, which means it lives up to its tag line, “Comics and Stories That Will Make You BLAB!” Anything that features essays on cryptids and UFOlogy goes a long way to endear itself to my heart. ![]()
