Edited by Ed Silvera The first book published by Znz is an anthology of the 1980 zines "Cholo" - issues #1, #2, and #3 - plus "The Mission District" in one handy volume. True to th e original publications, this 260-page book features uniquely colored pages and a brass fastener to evoke the zines' aesthetic spirit. Arlington - who passed away in 2014 - was a central figure in the underground comix movement since opening his store and publishing venture "San Francisco Comic Book Company" in 1968 at 3339 23rd St. in the Mission. A huge supporter of the comic artist community, "Cholo" is no different, except that it’s a non-traditional comic collection that includes lowriders, gang tags, prison-style art, local landmarks, random street scenes, and many surprises. It's a love letter to the neighborhood, unlike any other publication of its kind. The proceeds from this limited run of 500 books are being donated to Precita Eyes, keeping in the spirit of the material and its origin.
