Found this book by Sam Alden called “Lydian” at a book store in Highland Park. Really beautiful, surrealist pixel art.

Frontier #5: Sam Alden gets a thoughtful review from Kawai Shen on Cute Juice Comics!

I love how the simple, gestural images in Frontier #5 are able to convey a surprizing depth in mood and expression. For readers familiar with Alden’s It Never Happened Again, Frontier #5 is rendered in a similar stylistic vein with the same two panel per page pacing as INHA, but Frontier’s two toned riso-print allows for more visual play, such as when we see the floral print of the mother’s sofa superimposed onto The Hollow.

It Never Happened Again: Two Stories by Sam Alden

Scott says: Alden is one of the most talented comic artists working today. Not only does his style manage to be both raw and elegant simultaneously, his storytelling is mature and nuanced -- a rarity in graphic narratives. These two seemingly minor stories will stay with you.

I'm extremely excited to share the cover of Frontier #5: Sam Alden!

This is the latest issue of our ongoing monograph series, and features a brand-new 36 page comic by our friend Sam Alden, a supremely talented cartoonist and storyteller in the midst of a remarkable and prolific year.

Sam's issue will be printed on Risograph in two colors, and debuts next month at Small Press Expo on September 13, 2014. As with all issues of Frontier, subscribers will be receiving theirs in the mail (along with a little surprise again this time!). 

More details on the book and pre-ordering options will be added in the coming weeks to the Frontier #5: Sam Alden listing on the Youth in Decline site.
