First Shot At
Fort Sumter / Possum

Terri Witek’s First Shot At Fort Sumter / Possum blends war comic word balloons and iconography with a dual text concerning a dead possum: all to beguiling results. Published here in pamphlet form, Witek’s innovative creation (which can be read here) resides somewhere between high-concept chapbook and pulpy comic book, and we think its current physical incarnation captures this perfectly.
