Martin Lopez Lam, Ensalada Mixta, silkscreen, Le Dernier Cri, Marseilles, 2017, ed. 2000

front cover

Another in a long line of extraordinary silkscreened graphzines from the French publishing house, Le Dernier Cri. While this publication does not meet the technical definition of an accordion, it's 8 fold-out pages illustrates to me the power and beauty in the simple act of making a fold - something so central accordion publications. And aside from that, this publication contains a wonderful mash-up of different types and flavors of imagery.
