Zine Reviews: Saytown Review/Birdnerd/Jones-Malzburger-Jones split

BIRD NERD/JONES MALTZ-BURGER COMIX #1
SAYTOWN REVIEW #2 & 3

Got three zines from Texas in the mail. From San Antonio, comes two issues of Saytown Review. This digest-sized literary zine features poetry (jo reyes boitel, Illabaster Fernandez Green, The Great N.I.S. and Julian Flores, Lisa Del Bosque, John Rob, Roxy Guevara), short nonfiction stories (Robert Bottelo), paintings (Jazmin Martinez, George Garza, Diana Rocha), photos (Stephanie Salazar), interviews (artist Jacinto Guevara) and comics by Robert Birdnerd, Chris Navarro and Alfonso Mata. The third zine comes in the form of the Birdnerd Comix/Jones Maltz-Burger Comix split between Robert Birdnerd and Alfonso Mata. Both artists contribute journal strips that briefly describe everyday life in San Antonio. Mockingbird attacks appear to be quite common. $3PPD. c/o Robert Botello, PO Box 460303, San Antonio, TX 78246-0303.
