Description

A big ol' whopping collection (issues 11-16 and selections from 1-10!) presented here as a one-stop-shop of a book. Keith Rosson's stories and art show him neck-deep in a hard-living knockaround life. This is existentialism done punk rock style with a good sense of humor to lighten up all the bloodletting. Keith has done artwork for Submission Hold, Against Me!, andHearttaCk(among many others) and the illustrations here do not disappoint. If you're intoBurn CollectorandCometbus,this is essential per-zine action!

Reviews

"Even when the stories don't necessarily have an ending or a point, Rosson tells them with such a self-deprecating yet poetic language that they become worth reading anyway." --Punknews.org
"This anthology represents the first sixteen issues of Avow and is also one of the first things I show curious people who ask me about zines. What really stands out as a unique part of each zine in the anthology are the excellent illustrations and eye-catching graphic design. " --"Razorcake"
"This compilation of the fifteen year-old Avow zine is impressive . . . worth a look." --"Roctober"
