Half World Books will be at ZINE DREAM this Sunday, selling copies of Mark Connery's Melamine Car Bomb and probably some other things too. I think Mark will also have a new zine he just might give you with purchase of a book (or he might just give you anyway). While supplies last.

Zine Dream is an annual small press art fair featuring over 50 vendors of self published books, comics, music, zines, hand made crafts, prints & much more!

Featuring music by Fresh Flesh, Skull Bong and Moon Wood, DJ’s Laura Mccoy, Val Uher & Boogie Woogie Mix Tape Library. Plus performances by Kathleen Phillips and Amelia Ehrhardt.

Melamine Car Bomb

Mark Connery


“I ran into him recently and he told me he has been sticking his newest drawings under windshield wipers. Makes me almost wish I had a car.”
-Sally McKay on Mark Connery, Lola Magazine


Full of oddities and enigmas, Melamine Car Bomb is a Nog A Dod-ish psycho-doolick trip into a punk rock hippy-dippy mellow nightmare made of words and weirdoes and warnings led by the modern maestro of magick and malcontent, Mark Connery (creator of the legendary Rudy mini-comics). The process was fairly simple: Mr. Connery handed editor Marc Bell a pile of his recent drawing books to make selections from and Mr. Bell whittled the cacophony down to a solid 48 pages. Melamine Car Bomb is Mark Connery’s first perfect-bound print project, available in a very limited edition of 350 through Half World Books in Canada (also available from PictureBox Inc in the United States).

Softcover, 48 pages, 5.25 x 7.25 inches

Numbered edition of 350

ISBN: 978-0-9877202-0-7

$9.95 CDN / $9.95 US
