Morgenmuffel zine anthology & Excessive Force comix anthology by Last Hours

via Everyone's Blog Posts - We Make Zines by Edd - Last Hours on 11/26/09

I'm pretty excited about two new books that Last Hours has published

Morgenmuffel - A diary of a miscreant cover

This collection brings together the best bits of the first ten years of Morgenmuffel zine, re-organised and re-presented, running along the different themes in Isy's world. Essential for any fan of Morgenmuffel, DIY culture or autobiographical comics.

Over the past ten years Morgenmuffel zine has been documenting the world that Isy inhabits. From riots in the city of London, cooking for hundreds of punks, starting a housing co-op, or simply hanging out with friends and drinking, Isy's humour and love of life is always central to the zine.
About the author

Isy Morgenmuffel has been making comic zines since 1997 from her home in Brighton, UK. Originally from South Korea and Germany, she has worked on various other zines, booklets and bits of writing and drawing. She is also the co-author of the vegan cookbook, 'Another dinner is possible'.

She tries her best to live true to the values she holds dear such as autonomy, mutual aid, cooperation, real community and contributing to the downfall of the existing order.

Excessive Force - a police anthology against the police

Featuring 19 exciting new and up-and-coming graphic artists this is an comics anthology against the police.

Police everywhere, justice nowhere

Whether drawing on personal experiences or imagined stories about modern policing one theme runs through: a shared view of brutal, oppressive policing. Policing that does more harm than good, and a system which hinders, rather than encourages freedom of expression. Or more simply put: acts like an Excessive Force.

Profits from Excessive Force will go towards FITwatch and the Legal Defence and Monitoring group both of whom work towards ending police repression.

Featuring work by: Stephanie McMillan, Ken Dahl, Scott Smith, Edd Baldry, Jimi Gherkin, and many others, they all artfully present their take on the police, with a fine mixture of humour, tragedy, anger and optimism.
