Fink!
$5.95 & 40 pgs.
Hippy Comix
words: Uri Fink, Jon Silk, Todd Zimmer
art: Fink

With the subtlety of a blunt axe and the finesse of a razor, Fink! satirizes Israel through features like "The Fundementalists!" (a superhero team of one Christian, Muslim and Jew), "Battya & Sharonica" (Archie Comics' Betty and Vernonica), and "Yenter-prise" (figure that one out yourself). It paints an unflattering picture of an Israel full of violence, bigotry and hatred. In an unscientific survey of one, the only Israelite I can ask believes it an accurate portrait.

Uri Fink jumps from one art style to another with a deft understanding of the medium. Fink! is NOT for children.

Obscurity Unlimited #20/$3.50 and 32 pgs. from Dimestore Productions/ editor: Kathy Shires/available from www.dimestoreproductions.com. Obscurity... is not a comic book but a magazine about comics produced by fans and called fanzines.

These self-published magazines are often very professional and often not. The brief reviews make it easier to distinguish between the two and to understand what they contain.

Fanzines may contain almost anything.

Obscurity... is a great introduction to fanzines for the uninitiated or a wonderful reference for those who love them.
