Zine Reviews: Neurodivergent Pride #5 and Xerography Debt #55

​Neurodivergent Pride #5:  Autistic People Interacting with Authority
​

After a brief introduction by editor and publisher Joe Biel, this 'zine kicks off with what I consider to be a literary device of pure poetry when done right:  a text that's shorter than the title, and kick it does!

Subject matter of the various essays range from family, to religion, the workplace, school, bands and possibly one of the worst first world problems:  the healthcare bureaucracy in the United States, which at least comes in the form of a well done comic, so it's easier to digest considering the content.

Check out an interview I did with Neurodivergent Pride essayist Rikki Branson here.

​Xerography Debt #55
​

A 'zine about 'zines!  Well written columns followed by dozens of reviews.  If you're looking for some at least new to you titles and/or inspiration, this is a 'zinester's goldmine.  I just wish Clint Johns could have gotten my name and contact info right before incorrectly saying it wasn't in the 'zine of mine he negatively reviewed, haha.
