Description

Radiator Comics is proud to publish Whit Taylor’s series, Fizzle! Don’t miss an issue, with a subscription to the first five issues.

Fizzle is a fictional comic about Claire, a New Jersey transplant in California on the verge of transcending her listless life. Claire works retail at a tea shop where her boss expects more enthusiasm than Claire can muster, her stoner boyfriend, on the other hand wants Claire to spend less energy worrying about life. Claire wants something more, but isn’t sure what. A pot-induced joke and a taste for evocative fruit sparks an interest in Claire that could be her escape from her mundane life.

Whit Taylor is a cartoonist and editor from New Jersey. She lives there with her husband and two cats. Other titles by Whit include Madtown High (self-published), The Anthropologists (Sparkplug Books), Ghost Stories (Rosarium Publishing), and Ley Lines No. 17: Smile (Czap Books/Grindstone Comics).

Issue One and Issue Two were originally self-published by Whit and have been reprinted by Radiator Comics. Issue Three marks the first new issue published by Radiator Comics.

Radiator Comics’ subscription covers the first five issues of Fizzle. Issues One and Two debuted at the Chicago Alternative Comics Expo June 1 & 2, 2019. Issue Three was published January 28, 2020. Future issues will be released approximately twice a year. In addition to each issue of Fizzle, subscribers will receive supplementary zines, stickers, and other extra items between issues.
