Ka-Whump! #2 Small Press and Underground Review Zine


Ka-Whump! #2. I'll be honest. It is hard for me to review this magazine since I did the cover art, it had an interview with me, and I got rave reviews for 3 of my Fan-Atic Press comics. So, if you can look past all that and believe me when I tell you that this is the best News and Reviews zine I've seen for Small Press comics in years, I'm telling the truth. 40+ pages, mag size, excellent printing quality, nice layouts, cheap advertising rates, over 60 comics reviewed! All the news and important stuff happening in small press comics! Who could possibly ask for more? Robert L. Sumner who is a publisher of comics himself (Altered Fates Entertainment), put out a digest size Ka-Whump! #1 a few months back and got my attention. He is the mastermind behind this venture and I can't wait to see where future issues lead. Whatever you do help support this mag!
