Hic & Hoc To Publish Amy Jean Porter’s Spider (Comma) Man



By Tom Spurgeon

The emerging small-press publisher Hic and Hoc has announced their plans to publish Amy Jean Porter's Spider (Comma) Man, which they described in press copy provided CR as "a tale of arachnids and text messages." Porter is best known for work she's placed at McSweeney's: the collaboration with poet Matthea Harvey Of Lamb and a series of animal drawings bearing banner-names like "North American Mammals Speak the Truth and Often Flatter You Unnecessarily" and "Birds of North America Misquote Hip-Hop and Sometimes Pause for Reflection." Publisher Matt Moses told CR that Spider (Comma) Man is the artist's "first foray into long-form sequential art." The book is planned for a September release in a limited run of 200 copies. They will be co-printing with Guy Pettit of Flying object as well as Sean Knickerbocker and Alex Bullett of Good Pals.

No price has been determined.
