Collected Oil by James Tonra. $25, 28 pages, screen printed, newsprint.

This publication collects the brilliant work Tonra has done over the last few years that have been spread out over various New York city centric anthologies. It's a blessing that we have them all in one place, as Tonra has been making work that is a core part of the deeply creative underground comics scene in NYC, his style standing out and defining so much of what has been happening here over the last half decade....but much of this work is hard to find or stay on top of, if you miss it, you've missed it. So piecing together what Tonra has been up to isn't easy, even for his most dedicated fans. This publication makes it clear how visually powerful his work can be, so much of it brought together in one place for the first time makes for a comic to really confront and grapple with. Go grab it before it vanishes!
