BLAB!
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
BLAB! is the name of a comics anthology edited by Monte Beauchamp. Though its primary focus is comics, it regularly features non-comics illustration and graphic design work as well as some prose articles. Early issues were published by Kitchen Sink Press. Since issue 9 it has been published annually by Fantagraphics Books in a 120-page, 10" x 10" square format in a mixture of full color and black-and-white.
In 2003 Chronicle Books published the book collection New & Used BLAB!. As the title suggests, it consists of selections from previous issues along with new works by frequent contributors.
Several solo books by individual BLAB! contributors have been published with the subtitle "A BLAB! Storybook."
