you're an angel, you littl edevil

via she reviews zines by robyn on 1/11/08

(randy robbins)
1/2 letter; 24 pages
$1.00 (po box 17131, anaheim, ca 92817-7131)

a fan zine, this first issue (at least one more is to come) starts a chronology of Devil Girls, the comic creation of Chris Cooper. i struggled to get through this zine. not because of the writing which was really good or the layout, which was about as good as a fan zine can get. my issue was simple: the feminist in me struggles with the Devil Girl imagery. that said, for those who are fans of the drawings, this zine is a must-buy. randy does a great job of cataloging images (both drawn and photographed), and with the promise of more issues, fans should rejoice! i wish i could have gotten into it more because i love learning about new things, but i know that there's tons more people out there who will love this zine than someone like me.
