Disposable Fiction is a one-shot anthology of 15 self contained stories ranging
from five to twenty pages each. They book is 126
pages long, including credits. All of these stories are in black and white. Each story has a different
artist, but the same writer. The material of each story is quite different. In one story, a schizophrenic homeless man
is driven to save a young boy in peril. There's a story where a gay man and a bachlorette move in
together once the government passes a law that states that all single people must be married to someone of the
opposite sex by the age of thirty. In another story, a forest nymph becomes human and takes over the
corporation that is poisoning her forest. There's also an actiontale about a race across town to get
into a secret spy organization. All this and still eleven to go.

Anne Knight Weber:
Anne Knight Weber loves to make
books, but she is not a bookie. While in pursuit of a Masters in Writing she
fell in love with telling stories using images. She was surprised and confused
by the strong reactions her fellow writers and readers and teachers had to her
work back in 2011. She finds it very silly to write about herself in the third
person, but since she needs to get on with registering, it is too late to
change personal pronouns now.
Her comics and maps open up
conversations on many topics, but she has been especially glad to hear from
readers who were once afraid to share their experiences with the mental health
challenges facing themselves, their families and their communities.
This is her first trip to a small press and zine
expo and she is excited to see the work of more established comic artists.
Thanks for reading.
