Here’s what Line, who sat next to me at MICE, had to say about Flocks Ch. 1:
The most powerful comic I encountered at MICE this year was L. Nichol’s Flocks. Nichols sat at the table next to me, and I found her comics fascinating with their beautifully printed covers and intriguing mixed media technique. When I picked up Flocks, I expected it to be something good, but I did not expect that just from leafing through the pages, the story would throw me a punch in the stomach. This copy of Flocks, with the under title “A Paradox of Faith” is the first chapter of what Nichols intends to be a full graphic novel, and takes us into the world of a girl who realizes that rather than being a part of the “we” of her surrounding community in fact belongs into the category of “those others” who only seem to be defined in degrading, ridiculed and shameful terms.
I’m starting a new thing called Grindstone Comics, which I am going to use to publish the remaining chapters of Flocks in FULL COLOR on a somewhat regular schedule. I’m aiming for four 32-page (plus cover) chapters within the year.
Taking pre-orders for Chapter 2 now! I’m also taking subscriptions for the next four issues!! Chapter 2 will be printed & shipped starting in December. Tell all your friends! Tell everyone you know!
Check out this week’s Gears ‘n’ Grub. Margot Restaurant in Washington Heights!!
If you’re in the neighborhood, their food is amazing. Best peas and rice I’ve ever had. Also the nicest waitress I’ve had in a long time.
