The Nib #2 (Family issue) Reviews
-
The second issue of the Nib magazine, as strong as the first! I really enjoyed Nicole Georges' interview with Alison Bechdel and Mathew and Jake New's report on the world's largest annual gathering of twins. The stories of a father separated from his son at the border and of politicians finally gaining access to spaces to care for nursing infants while on the job were extremely timely and relevant.

How did I live without THE NIB??? This is not light comic fare. Thought-provoking pieces accompanied by fantastic art. So glad to be a subscriber.

This actually arrived in the mail a while back, but wasn’t able to login as this issue wasn’t listed yet. Pulled it off the shelf to refresh my mind.
Another solid collection of comics that deal with a central theme; this issue: family.
The cover and section illustrations by Jillian Tamaki are fantastic.
Many of the comics that are non-fictional are very informative with facts I found fascinating and sometimes shocking.
I thought it was cool that Nicole George’s illustrates a portion of her interview with Alison Bechdel. There’s a podcast length interview between them two that’s even more entertaining.
Also, I appreciate the actual quality of the book itself. It’s not a “cheap” magazine. This book will last on my shelf for years.
Once again, so glad I subscribed! -
It’s hard for an anthology with this range of styles and lengths of pieces to be this good, but the nib does some solid work.
-
A kind, colorful collection of graphic essays relating to family, whether those are family histories, crime families, or biological families. This was the first book I read after heading in quarantine.

Vital & fascinating. The most necessary zine being published today.
