Crap Hound #8 - Superstitions
<p><b>Between a brief introduction and the end credits, Crap Hound is pure imagery. Each page is filled with high-contrast art, carefully taken from vintage catalogs, advertising, obscure books, and found ephemera. Through sheer volume of artfully arranged iconography, Issue No. 8 visually explores popular meaning, cultural ideals and historic symbolism of superstitions; from the obvious to the obscure. Black cats, butterflies, brooms, apples, locks, moons, hats, knives, bibles, tea, gifts, candles, keys, and much, much, much more.</b> </p> <p>Debuting in 1994, Crap Hound became a favorite of both zine readers and publishers, and has received enthusiastic reviews from sources including The New York Times Magazine, RE/Search Books, the American Institute Graphic Arts, and the Cooper-Hewitt National Design Museum.</p>
