The Green Flash is a flash fiction literary magazine published quarterly out of Chicago, Illinois. We publish stories told in 1,000 words or fewer that are wildly visual, immediately engaging, and fully complete. Also, we enjoy publishing offbeat comics.

Cartoon Editor: Damian Fazio
Damian M. Fazio is a Chicago native trapped in the ether, sending out his observations from time-to-time. He works on a wide variety of projects, including an independent comic book called ‘The Citadel’ (hitting the net soon), an array of paintings, a comic strip, and writing and editing for this prestigious publication, all in the hope that one of them will be his ticket out of mundane paycheck-to-paycheck work. To get in touch with Damian you may use a series of tubes (aka the internet). Please address all questions and concerns to damianfazio@yahoo.com.
