Dog Dayz #1 17 pages, 1/2 size (2 oz) $2.00

These comics by Fly are part one of a multi-parter! This is the Summer of Glass, and squatters are fixing up a former Glass Factory in NYC. K-9 is a squatter girl who is just trying to exist in a city of sweat, sex, and alcohol when she meets a fellow squatter named Dug. He's different, he doesn't force her to examine herself, or make her feel like a freak. The two start a friendship. But things get crazier than ever when the city tries to shut down the Glass House and all the squatters rally together at the Community Board Meeting to stop the eviction!

Dog Dayz #2 17 pages, color cover, 1/2 size (2 oz) $2.00

Part 2 of Dog Dayz! This issue picks up where the last left off...with Dug under a pile of cops! After his stint in jail, Dug and K-9 make a plan to escape the craziness of the city. K has second thoughts about Dug when he gets a ride to Philly without her. They go to the Anarchist Convention and it's predictable, except when K hears Ramona Africa speak about MOVE which hits close to home. Then they clamor into a car covered in scrawl like, "fuck the war machine," and head off to Dug's Grandma's house?!?!? To be fuckin' continued.

Peops #3 29 pages, color cover, 1/2 size (2 oz) $3.00

A set of portraits by Fly, not to be confused with her book of the same title! If you're not familiar with the format, each page is a hand-drawn portrait of a person she's met, with a blurb underneath about who they are and where she met them. Oh, and the background behind them is a story they've told her. Take that Olan Mills! Most of these are from the lower east side in New York. An honest document of the subculture, straight from the punk-rocker's mouth.

PEOPs Book 196 pages, some in color, glossy paper, paper back (20 oz) $18.00

A collection of portraits and stories about people Fly met from all over the world. This idea emerged from sketchbooks she kept while on tour with God Is My Co-Pilot. The drawings and conversations reveal a hidden history - the people, ideas and events that are not usually covered by popular media, the surprisingly deep and beautiful way in which people can communicate with one another. Everyone has an incredible story to tell and deserves to be listened to. Fly has been squatting in the Lower East Side of Manhattan since 1990 where she paints and draws for the New York Press, Village Voice, San Francisco Bay Guardian, Raygun, Bikini, World War III Illustrated, Punk Planet, Maximumrocknroll, Slug & Lettuce and numerous other publications. Fly has also produced countless zines & comics over the past 2 decades.

 
This book was so amazing that I couldn't keep it. I had to pass it on for a friend to enjoy, in hopes that she would pass it onto others. Kaeti
Im not the best at putting my thoughts in to actual words but I'll give it a shot because this book is worth it. Some people might disagree how ... Katie Mutated
