"...a writer of powerful, emotional short stories..."
THE CHEERLEADER AND OTHER STORIES / BOXER #1 by Lonnie Allen
($1.00 and $2.99, respectively, from Lonnie Allen or Squid Works)
Reviewed by Mark Campos
These two minis, from 2003 and 2004 respectively, showcase Lonnie's abilities as a writer of powerful, emotional short stories. The first mini features a quiet, grim tale about the fallout from a teen pregnancy, and one about (I assume) the author's childhood brush with racism, and how it left him literally scarred for life. Boxer is less successful, teaming the dramatic title story with two woolly cosmic meditations – like Anteus, Lonnie is strongest when his feet are on the ground. Turn to dAdAgraphics.com to see what he's up to these days. ~Mark Campos, Poopsheet Reviews, 3/17/05 (go to review)
"...a short description doesn't suffice..."
The Cheerleader & other stories by Lonnie Allen This publication features four tales. The first "The Cheerleader" was the deepest in both storytelling and underlying emotion. The story had to do with a teenage abortion, but a short description doesn't suffice here. This was my favorite of the comic -- my second favorite was a two-page interpretation of W.B. Yeats's poem "He wishes for the Cloths of Heaven." ~ Erin M. Schadt, The Comic Queen, 8/13/2004 (go to blog)
