Attack of the Old Man

Attack of the Old Man
a story made by kids ages 5-11, July 2017

$5.00
16 pages/Half size
Published by Sweet Candy Press


This gorgeous full-color zine is a compilation project made by a group of eleven kids who attended the July Summer Zine Camp hosted by Sweet Candy Distro. 

Each child was given a word that they had to use in a sentence. After they put their sentences together to make a story, they illustrated their sentence page. It is a silly story about nature, survival, and a creepy old man. The kids voted on the title, too!

100% of the proceeds from this zine will go to the Sweet Candy Zine Camp Scholarship fund. Read about zine camp here.

I love that this zine is printed in full color so you can appreciate the artwork!

Permacrust #1
$2.50

20 pages/Quarter size
by Miszka Malarkey

Each flip of the colorful pages warms my parenting heart. I relate to the humor, the exhaustion, and the ridiculousness that Miszka shares in her first issue of Permacrust. I laugh in solidarity with this mama as she shares her world.

From the intro: "This is a zine about being an aging crusty punk & a stay-at-home mom in a new town."

"When strangers tell you how beautiful your child is, and you're holding your breath til the next tantrum."
