Apollo Astro #6<\/strong><\/p>\n

Now that’s a long time between issues. Looking at Jack’s website<\/a>, he’s up to #9 in this series now, although it looks (at least from this one) like there’s not much of a continuing thread holding it together. This issue, for example, is three stories strung together, much as is usually done in the “mini comics” world. Not sure where I was going with that so I’ll just quit while I’m still slightly ahead. First up is a poem about working and still clinging to some of your youthful ideals, or at least still being able to remember those ideals. Then you have a wonderful wordless story about a… um potato who loses a leg and tries desperately to get it back without being able to say anything. Finally you have the strongest piece in the book, a story about a girl who’s trying to remember why she’s on a bus going to visit a boy she got to know during summer camp and piecing it together from a photograph. Not that she has amnesia or anything, she just wonders how well memories hold up to real life, and the winner there has a tendency to be memory. Another really good issue, if a bit dated at this point to be putting up on the website. Hey, I’m just reading it now, it’s new to me… $4<\/p>\n
