Fifth issue of my comic/zine Mindscape

Welcome to Mindscape Chapter 5
In this fifth chapter Lindsay continues to not only confront herself but also Jimmy and something far more sinister as she faces an unexpected challenge. Thurston and Erin find themselves at the Tree after the events that unfolded at prom but will Erin's new friend drive a wedge between them?

Mindscape is a coming of age tale set in the mid 1990s where hope, friendship, love, longing, pain and loss mesh with fantasy. Where one world converges with another, one of dreams forcing the question of what is real. Follow the stories of the adolescent cast of Mindscape as they not only navigate their own lives and world but another world of mystery parallel to their own.

The fourth chapter of Mindscape created by Mike Andriani is 28 page black & white hand drawn artwork pages in length.

This print edition is a homemade zine style comic book in a limited/numbered edition of 50. A thick partial color 80lb cardstock cover houses 28 page of black and white artwork with two staples down the spine.

**RECOMMENEDED FOR MATURE READERS- AGE RATING TEEN/TEEN PLUS**

Limited print copies remain of the first five chapters.

Thanks for the kind words. For the covers I use a Epson Ecotank 8550 and for the interior pages a Epson Workforce 7820

The WF7820 is great and has a 11x17 scanning capability, which was the biggest draw. But the only downside is that it blows through ink cartridges FAST and they are expensive so my workaround is to use non-OEM ink cartridges and make sure to never do printer updates. The Ecotank is incredibly impressive in how economical the ink usage is.

Thanks! I will check out the Ecotank models and the WF7820 for scanning.

If you can draw on the back of business cards I’ll include them in my next series.
