1. Some Words Albert Likes -- Scott McCloud
2. The Amazing Cynicalman -- Matt Feazell
so naturally ... 3. Zot 10 1/2
4. When My Brother Was God (creator names forgotten, sorry)
5. Bubble Funnies -- an early-'80s gum-and-a-little-comic set that featured both Marvel and Archie characters (in separate issues, alas). The roughly-simultaneous DC-characters-and-candy minicomics release was more creatively impressive, but the Bubble Funnies were coolly teeny.
