☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeBlab! Vol. 7 collects the seventh installment of the acclaimed anthology series from Kitchen Sink Press, featuring a mix of underground comix and alternative cartooning. This volume includes contributions from notable artists such as Spain Rodriguez and Mary Fleener, alongside characters like Jimmy Corrigan and Quimby the Mouse, showcasing the eclectic and boundary-pushing style the series is known for.
In "Psychorama," Chris Ware crafts a dreamlike journey as Jimmy, still reeling from a birthday celebration, finds himself adrift after a sudden shipwreck. Stranded on a remote island with only fleeting visits from Superman, he navigates isolation and memory in a story drawn with Ware’s signature precision and emotional depth. The cover by Daniel Clowes captures the surreal tone, complementing a narrative that blurs reality and imagination.
In "null," Jimmy’s birthday celebration takes a sudden turn when his family relocates, only for a tense trip to end in disaster—his boat capsizes in a storm, leaving him stranded on a deserted island. Over the course of several weeks, he survives with only fleeting encounters from an unexpected visitor: Superman.
In "Psychobabylon," dysfunctional addict Necropolis is recruited by a slick corporate therapy clinic to promote his so-called recovery on the talk show circuit—a role that blurs the line between redemption and performance. Written by a sharp satirical hand and illustrated with deadpan flair, the story skewers the commodification of healing with a mix of dark humor and biting irony.
