Lunch Hour Comix: SPX Preview Edition

Dug this one out of the backlog pile.

Title: Lunch Hour Comix: SPX Preview Edition
Date: 2004
Publisher: Alternative Comics
Writer: Robert Ullman
Artist: Robert Ullman

Eight-page quarter-sized minicomic released as a promo at the SPX convention. This is an autobiographical comic that does a nice job of using a couple of vignettes in a very limited amount of pages to paint a portrait of the narrator. The situations involve reflections on the nature of seasonal and long-term depression, a meeting with an old friend, and dealing with a bird trapped in the house.

As might be expected, there is not much resolution of plot, given the small page count, but it's a nice introduction with a fun geeky vibe.

Rating: 6.5/10
