THE COMICS JOURNAL #264
Now revamped with more pages and higher quality reproduction! This issue features a cover interview with Ivan Brunetti (conducted by editor Gary Groth), a cartoonist known for his caustic, scabrous, and self-lacerating comic, Schizo, the cartoon collection Haw!, as well as his comics contributions to anthologies and illustration work in such magazine as Mother Jones, The Baffler, and Entertainment Weekly. Underground comics are highlighted this issue in two major features: Patrick Rosenkranz, the author of the underground comix history Rebel Visions, provides an historical profile of the major underground publishers in a long essay based on interviews with all the participants. Second, his own book comes under the knife in a series of critiques of his own history of underground comix by the underground cartoonists he covered in the book itself! Plus, TCJ's regular columns covering European comics, manga, newspaper strips, and other facets of the medium, industry commentary by Steven Grant, Dirk Deppey, and others, investigative journalism, letters, a full color reprint of a rare, archival comic from the 1950s, and a word or two about George Bush and Martin Heidegger, all in the most iconoclastic and unorthodox magazine about comics in the world.
