This month, Highwater Books' alternative publishing magnate, Tom
Devlin, says goodbye to summer with short interviews of Spanish
cartoonist/designer Mariscal, English cartoonist/philosopher Glenn Dakin, and
Japanese cartoonist/scatologist Enomoto. Also in this issue: an overview of the
comics of Tove Jansson (Moomin creator), and Seth will take a look at the
comics of John Stanley. Brian Ralph goes to Gary Panter's studio to try on the
Pee Wee Herman merchandise; Greg Cook looks at how fine art has
influenced comics and why cartoonists get jealous when that influence shows up;
Ron Rege will try to track down Mark Beyer; and Jef Czekaj (of
Hypertruck) will explain how to get a guaranteed grant for your comics
project. Finally, Tom Devlin explains how the deification of EC comics has
stunted the growth of comics for over 40 years. With a cover and interior design
by Jordan Crane, this issue will be a must-have for anyone who's ever read
alternative comics!
