Reactions and Reviews: Issue 5
I'm very impressed by the general presentation of On Wings of Light 5, the cover is a glossy stock and the artwork is beautifully reproduced in a rich, deep black. The spiral binding, although not quite large enough to allow one to bend the page back while reading (understandable with 202 pages of content), is of acceptable size and allows you the luxury most stapled zines do not-it can be laid flat on the table and read while you're eating your lunch. The type throughout the zine is clean and legible, a joy in varied lighting conditions (subway strap-hangers, take note). I appreciate the lack of typos, the clean corrections, and general attention the editors have provided. Well done!OWOL used to be an all-Phoenix zine and has since expanded its horizons to include B&B and Starman because, as the authors explain in the editorial, their own interests have expanded. The latest cry in fandom seems to be "adapt or die" and expanding an existing zine certainly makes more sense than folding a zine with a small fandom simply because the number of fans has decreased over time. By providing material for readers of other fandoms, as well as your original, you may introduce new fans to your first fandom.
Three stories in the zine are way above the fannish average. "Storm Warning," by Kat Nickell, is short and to the point, with interesting secondary characters, a good setting with sufficient description (good God, she even describes sounds!), and main characters who very much act as they should.
"Ghost Hunt," by Ruth Dempsey, is the third in a series of stories. It is a hell of a read, and you don't need to know a damn thing about the previous two--I didn't. Information is parceled out sparingly, without hitting the reader over the head or insulting their intelligence. The female lead is kind of "almost perfect," but at least she's abrasive enough to speak her mind and she's not the central focus of the story. The real strength of this story lies in point of view and in the author's maintaining that point of view. There's a little mysticism, a little magic, and some really fantastic descriptions of a world just a little closer to history than downtown Manhattan. If there's a flaw, it's that the build-up to the climax is strong, then the climax hits and everything is...well, okay, we can go home now. The description seems to run the same way; you get a breathtaking vista on one page and really look forward to a mystical dream sequence. ..which proceeds to sputter and die before it even gets started. Strong story, good characters, good setting...another winner.
The other prizewinner, this time a crossover of Phoenix and Highway to Heaven, is "Christmas Presence," by Elizabeth Knauel. I was expecting a very soppy Christmas story. What I found was a well-written education in the art of self-depression and enlightenment.
The best stories in the zine contain something more than plot and character; they contain the essence of a truth oran investigation of an idea. "Storm Warning" discusses simple values and the worth of truth. "Ghost Hunt" contains an examination of old ways and old ideas, of how courage is not to be found in protecting oneself but in protecting another. "Christmas Presence' is about the gifts inherent in the small things in life and death, and how the universe is more complicated than even angels dream. There are beautiful descriptive passages-- about horses, about Christmas Eve, about promises made and twisted to fit circumstances. The story isn't flawless, but you can easily forgive the few flaws because of the charm. The characterization is spot on. Mark is a friendly bear of a person and Jonathan is...kind. And beyond understanding. Bennu is himself—affable, yet affected by a darkness that comes of inner weariness and despair. And, beyond a comprehensible plot, there are layers of things, like ghosts, and snow, and tricks you can teach horses. A great story, and well told.
The rest of the fiction runs just about even with that average mark. Yes, there are some stories that have major problems ("The Life Debt" makes no sense medically), and there's at least one story that actually upset me ("A Walk on the Wild Side"), but on the whole, the fiction is well-written and well edited.
The poetry is actually better than the usual smattering of fannish poetry and, alas, some of it is used for filler. The omniscient narrator in Teresa Sarick's "Noel," a Phoenix poem, works, the last stanza echoing the first, that loss may be loss, no matter who you are or how long you've been away. It's one of the best pieces I've ever seen from Teresa. "...And In the Darkness, Light," by K.A. Sanders, is a companion to her Phoenix-Phantom story. A few of the line breaks are awkward, but it's a far better recap of what she was trying to say than her story. Carol J.E. Schom's "Who Could Have Known?" is a Starman poem that is more "stream of consciousness" than poetry, yet it brings up some truly promising images. Frances Quinn's poetry is undoubtedly the best in the zine. Her "Resurgat" is magnificent, from the empty hills to the herds of night fleeing before the dawn. These are images that bring a soul to fire.
The cover, by Peggy Spalding, has a wonderful layout incorporating good design elements. The hieroglyphs clash slightly with the deftly shaded characters and might have been offset by giving the border, or even the hieroglyphs, a sense of depth through some additional shading, but this is really a small design flaw. There's also something just subtly wrong with the shading on the various characters--I believe it's that each has a different light source (Bennu is lit from the back, Vincent and Catherine from the front). A little judicious shading, no more than a mark or two, would solve that problem easily. The cover is attractive, representative of the interior material, and a definite bonus for the zine. Good job.
If there's any problem with the zine, it is that more attention needs to be turned toward layout and art reproduction. Delicate line work seems washed out in places (as on the frontispiece/copyright page), but large areas of solid black have generally excellent reproduction (smooth, unbroken, unblemished...ah, that's how black should look!). The artwork in the zine is just about ninety percent portrait and ten percent illustration...disappointing to my personal preference for illustration, but well within the current dictates of fannish requirements. In fact, there are forty-five illustrations in the 202 pages, literally one illustration every four-point-five pages. That's heavily illustrated.
Most of the artwork suffers from inconsistent or tentative layout. Portraits, especially, need to be grounded to the page, and too much white space can detract from the power and elegance of a good portrait. The occasional border (whether clip art or hand drawn) would help, as would some contrast shading behind the portraits themselves. And what about using quarter-or half-page illustrations with text?
One of the highlights, a Phoenix done by Frances Quinn (page one), suffers from bad reproduction. It's a truly lovely piece; a stunning design, deftly executed. A little darker printing, or offset, would have made a very good illustration an exceptional illustration and a hellof a way to open the zine. Page 29, the illustration of Catherine doodling, by Pam Martin, is my absolute favorite piece in the entire zine. Yes, it's light, but it's also grounded, just the right size for the page, illustrative, expressive...hell, when I grow up I want to be able to do things like this. Good job. Great job. Come to my house and teach me. I'll pay airfare. This is artwork!
Joy Riddle's artwork is sprinkled lavishly throughout the zine, ranging from spot on to just plain awful. I have to give her a lot of credit for her illustrative work-she does action scenes! Wow! But her best piece is on page 68, a really keen Preminger portrait. It, too, suffers from layout-floating-itis, but it's also a pistol of a portrait. The line work conveys depth, character, and expression. This is not a happy buckaroo. And in a zine with a portrait every few pages, her version of Bennu on page 138 stands out. It needs a bit of reduction, grounding, and placement, but there's an expression on the face that makes you want to throwout all the junk food and switch to trail mix, oral least Crispie Wheats and Raisins, for good.
There are neither too few nor too many lines. Good likeness, good expression. Spalding's Vincent, Catherine, and Bennu on page 105 is-hurrah-an illustration that actually belongs with a scene in the story. What ruins it is the tunnel roof line near Vincent's head-it totally destroys all perspective...but I like the fact that the illo's grounded. The edge lines on the left and right should have been cleaned up, but it's a job well done on three faces and costumes, including that sneaky little shadow Catherine casts on Vincent's chest. Stephanie's "Jonathan," on page 181, deserves better layout - he's sitting way down at the corner of the page, all by himself. Great expression in the eyes and on the face. Definitely needs a bit more background. Good likeness, wonderful illustration.
Individual story titles have been hand-lettered, but often seemed squashed into the space provided. The calligrapher, K.A. Sanders, shows a lot of promise, but needs to use a straight edge more, to balance both the upper and lower edges of her lettering. She also might try to adapt her style to accentuate the text font-the free and easy style of calligraphy clashes in some instances.
In addition, there are a number of stories in the zine that are continuations of previous stories. The editors should be thanked for giving the names of the previous stories or series of stories, but the title and copyright date of the zine in which the other stories had appeared would be beneficial to those readers who were picking up OWOL for the first time. OWOL5 succeeds where most good zines succeed-varied subject matter and style, well-edited stories, sharp cover, and an eye toward that reader of fiction who wants clean, quality text. This zine receives a three plus...a little more attention to interior layout and reproduction could turn a well-written zine into a showcase for artists, as well as authors. [1]
I don't think Susan Garrett was too harsh in her assessment of my art in On Wings of Light 5. Some of that stuf was dreadful, and I apologized to Peggy Spalding even as I gave it to her. What isn't mentioned in the forward of the zine, or anywhere else, is the fact that a lot of the art was done at the last minute, at a convention in Houston over Thanksgiving, at around two o'clock in the morning! Reference materials were limited to whatever was on hand in the co-editor's-Carol Schorn's-apartment and whatever art supplies I had with me, while she, Peggy, and I think it was Laurie Keeper, worked on the zine's written portion in the next room on a rather cranky computer and printer-not the best of circumstances to do anything artistic, let alone doing it well! Those are also some of the few illos I've done that I don't have a copy of somewhere other than the zine itself; all the art was just handed over to Peggy as completed. Friends do odd things to help friends, don't they? [2]
