Windy Corner #2 edited by Austin English
The new full color issue of Windy Corner presents the continuing chapters of Austin English's two graphic novels: Life of Francis and My Earliest Memory. This issue opens with art by Mollie Goldstrom, an illustrated table of contents by Elisabeth Timpone, short comics by Fiona Logusch and Dylan Williams, and in depth interview with John Hankiewicz by Onsmith.
"Francis goes to school and meets a boy. He bikes home with her. He sees her house. He's condescending but charismatic too. They throw a dinner party. Francis tries to make it seem like she has a lot of friends. Austin goes to the planetarium with his dad. He remembers the light changing. Then he goes to the movies with his mom. They drive home together. Two people break up. One of them starts a new relationship but can't sustain it. Dylan talks about Alex Toth. Lis draws a beautiful table of contents. A boy sits absent-mindedly while a girl turns into a tree. John and Onsmith share artistic refrence points. Juliacks says goodbye."
"At first glance, the debut issue of Windy Corner Magazine may look like something your kid made one afternoon in art class. And that’s okay, because subverting your expectations only will open your mind to be accepting of all of this indie effort’s innumerable charms.
The brainchild of editor Austin English, Windy Corner is anchored by much of his Crayola-penned comics — slice-of-life pieces about a girl named Francis, dealing with a shaky home life because of lean times and the discovery of her father’s adultery."
