Abe's Penny: A Micro-Magazine →
“More a series of flash cards than an actual magazine, Abe’s Penny is a monthly volume of four postcards ($48 for six months) that subscribers receive one by one, every week. Each volume features a pairing of two artists, a series of images on the face coupled with a developing story on the reverse.”
