ED CHOY DRAWS JAMES JOYCE Annie Mok (as "Ed Choy"), 2012
This Risograph-printed comic contains "Araby" from Dubliners, a story of an adolescent boy who grapples with unrequited lust, the concept of mortality, and self-deception. It's backed up by a comic version of an excerpt from A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man, and a suite of strips about Joyce himself on the cover. Frank Santoro featured it in his "New Talent Showcase" at The Comics Journal, calling it "a beaut of a book."
Each paper version comes with a free digital download. The paper version is monochrome, but in alternating purple and blue spreads.

STITCHING TOGETHER: Special Edition Annie Mok (as "Eel Mok"), 2012
The comic begins with Jim Henson’s struggle to bring the Muppeteers' visions to life in "Scenes from the Life and Death of Jim Henson." Next, the cartoonist meditates on the Muppets sneaking into her developmental work, and what one can gleam from Henson and his collaborators. The book finishes with a visit to Henson’s childhood hometown and his adorably humble memorial exhibit (a one-room wooden shack over a creek), in Leland, Mississippi.
16 pages, Risograph printed, green ink, $5
