A magazine-only oneshot from Garo 1969-10.
A strange little story with a woman trying to find something to buy, alien store clerks trying to sell her things she doesn’t want, and a male clerk hanging to the ceiling saying that he can play anything as long as he has a guitar. The clerk falls onto some mirrors and bleeds to death. The woman doesn’t get what she wants and the alien clerks all disappear into hell. The last panel shows photos of the Beatles in frames with broken glass.
Forgotten masterpiece: ”Desert Eyeball” (砂漠の眼玉 - Sabaku no Medama), a one-shot manga by Maki Sasaki, from the August 1970 issue of Garo magazine. Also check out “A Dream to Have In Heaven.”

Janus by Lala Albert.
“Janus is a person trying to contain her wandering sense of self within removable modifications to her outward appearance. A mask, silicone skin-suit, webcams and mirrors only serve to widen the gap between mind and body. She is swept up in a world between ocean tides but lacks connection to her surroundings and the life happening around her.”
Risograph printed, perfect bound, 48 pages
Janus is available from our webstore along with many other fine comics.
