Natural Disaster by Al Burian

Al Burian is one my favorite writers. It's not often that I seeks out everything written by someone, but I've read almost everything Mr. Burian has published. This book contains issues #10, #11, #12, and #13 of Burn Collector plus issues #1 and #1 of Natural Disaster, along with a wee bit from Punk Planet. Being an Al Burian completist, I had already read all these, but it would be tricky to find find copies of all these zines today, so this book collects them all for you in one easy place.

This Book contains some of Al's best work such as "Suicide as a Xerox" where he has to photocopy a suicide note that contains (In Mr. Burian's mind) very convincing arguments. Another highlight is his family reunion in Germany where everyone is confused by his musician/writer lifestyle and completely baffled by his acceptance of his low income. The dark, jaded, funny musing of Al are amazing. Read this book!

To sample Al's unique, dark style please click on the little inset picture and read the page after he reads the suicide note in "Suicide as a Xerox." That is, In my opinion, Al Burian at his best.
