Dead pencils are amazing pencils which are no longer in production. In this issue, we pay homage to greats like the Venus Velvet, the Eberhard Faber Mongol, the original Blackwing, and more. Color images of many of the pencils to which we sing praises are included with the text. We conclude with a call to make good use of your out of production pencils, since pencils we still use to create can never truly be dead. With a hand-drawn cover and bevy of text, this issue is a labor of love just in time to treat yourself for Valentine's Day.

This is a half-sheet (about 5x8 in) zine, featuring 14 pages plus the covers. This zine features a deep red 24lb paper cover from Neenah (not cardstock, but SO RED).

This is the second printing, identical to the first, and just as red.
