This collection reprints five issues of Alec Longstreth's minicomic Phase 7 in their entirety: #012 is a stick figure science fiction story about a college and the barcode system it uses to keep track of its students. #013 reprints a comics essay in which the idea of everyday art is explored throughout art history. #014 is a facsimile of the sketchbook that Longstreth took on his first trip to Europe, for the 2009 Angoulême comics festival in France. It includes an account of his trip and many observational drawings created while traveling. #015 and #016 are comprised of selections from Longstreth's many sketchbooks, starting in 1995 and working up to 2008. Various quick drawings and loose diary comics reveal the cartoonist's struggles with relationships, employment, education and his future. All of these issues were released while Longstreth was focused on drawing his graphic novel Basewood, hence the title "B-Sides."

Weezer Fan: Phase 7 #017 - #019

This book collects 392 pages of Gabby Schulz's diary comics drawn from 2013-2016.  An excerpt from the author’s introduction:  “If these pages have any value it is the voyeuristic thrill of watching a stranger document the implosions of his life in real time, charting all the discrete failures and unutterable, graceless fears that filled the worst years of his life (to date).  These pages were drawn during a prolonged period of solitude, nightly drinking and suicidal ideation, as I lost a home, suffered from mysterious debilitating pains, and returned to minimum-wage retail life in a new city mostly famous for segregation, gun violence, police torture, and putting meat juice on sausage.”
