Title: The ballad of Miss Carriage Fyre
Description: This strikingly illustrated fantasy zine describes Miss Carriage Frye, "the only biological female to ever perform with the only all male burlesque troupe on earth." She has a bright right Mohawk and tattooed on eyebrows, like the narrator. The narrator meets Miss Frye and becomes fascinated with her, and eventually attempts to blow her up with a homemade time bomb (illustration included) that fails to detonate but releases a cloud of sulfuric smoke. Typewritten with angular ink illustrations and comics, this zine addresses issues of sexuality, queer/transgender folk, and obsession.
