Tales of Modern Tragedy #6 27 pages, color covers, b&w insides, 1/2 size (2 oz) $3.50

Tales of Modern Tragedy is a comic zine written by Laura Kenins from Canada. Issue #6 is about a set of infamous murders that occurred in Medicine Hat, Alberta in 2006. The story was of a 12 year old girl who allegedly convinced her 23 year old boyfriend to murder her parents. Both members of the couple were said to have been members of the local goth subculture. This visual retelling is an alternate history of the events. A what could've been scenario, in which the murders never take place. It's a clever twist on the supposed deeper meanings of the couple's actions. Issue #6 also contains a second shorter comic called "Popular Music" about 2 teenaged friends who listen to records and say angsty things. Are you sensing a theme yet?
