People who have their shit together impress me. People who have their shit together, work full-time jobs, have a young child who they cherish, and continue putting out kick-ass zines that they’ll never see any financial returns on, well, that’s humbling. In the land of instant gratification and blogs, you gotta take pause and realize that certain things don’t get outdated. At the top of that list: quality. All controlled by the deft, kung-fu hand of Kiyoshi, Drunken Master is part Frank Miller meets manga comics, part essay, part “hey, this is really cool, a bar with twelve pinball machines in the back.” And it’s all distilled and controlled and personalized, so it doesn’t come across disjointed or haphazard when Kiyoshi interviews a fetish actress who gets food tossed at her, and two pages later, it’s a picture of and homage to his mother’s passing. DM is an open invite into friendly, thoughtful, wonderfully drawn world. –Todd (no address listed)
