asemic editions: my small press for abstract graphic novels & similar

here's a page from my new edition of Michael Jacobson's The Giant's Fence, which he describes as a visual novella... written in a trans-symbolic script:

Asemic editions is a small press with a tiny budget, devoted to publishing novel-length works of asemic writing, abstract comics, Lettrisme & so on.

Currently available:
The Giant's Fence (large format edition), by Michael Jacobson [view sample]
100 Scenes, by Tim Gaze [view sample]
written in prose, by Alain Satié [view sample]
with 2 more in the pipeline. I'm not looking for submissions at this time.
