Crooked Teeth, Ed Morton

I am really big on zines attempting strong design and print quality. Crooked Teeth is a very nice looking package; clear and clean illustrations and printing, a simple yet effective cover, very readable. But somehow, the package is just not strong in content. Writer/Illustrator Ed Morton has some good ideas and obvious drawing skills, but I found the text very lacking. The illustrations are actually quite good and the text quite bad. I present an idea to Morton: consider what Crooked Teeth would have been had it just featured the compelling ‘”The Lesson of Icarus.” The poem by Mike Porter with Morton’s illustrations evokes the myth and breathes it to life. It is not only a standout; it actually puts the rest of the content to shame. Crooked Teeth is a good try, but Morton needs to work on his writing before he dazzles us with his illustration.
