“Along with the regular club newsletter, THE BLUESLETTER, the BPP also plans and publishes group projects such as the BPP SPECIAL and other joint ventures between its members.” In short (and most BPP publications are short indeed) if you want to self-publish your own work without interference from an editor, this cooperative is for you. Most of the work is comics or comics related, and varies widely in subject, quantity, and quality. The latest BPP Checklist offers six publications: “The Least Last Lost Past Participle of Lust on our List”, “Captain Spectacular”, “The Scriptgraphics Small Press: The BPP Issue #6”, “Kulprit”, and…well, you get the idea. The titles alone promise variety. All are reasonably priced, and some titles are free! The latest issue received at Suspended Animation was Monster World #1 by Sam Gafford. It is a tiny 5 1/2” x 4 1/4” mini-comic of eight pages about a world where monsters are real and opposed by a C.I.A. like agency, S.T.A.K.E. I can’t review it here because of conflict-of-interest; Sam Gafford is my friend, therefore, my review would be biased. But if you are most interested in the polished, heavily structured work of professional publishers like DC and Marvel Comics, Blue Plaque Publications will not be your cup of tea.
