THE COMICS JOURNAL #256
(
www.tcj.com)
I just haven't been able to stay on top of
The Comics Journal ever since they started coming out monthly. So, no, I haven't read this one but I wanted to mention while you can still find it on the stands. This issue features the long-awaited focus on the Fort Thunder arts collective. Included are Tom Spurgeon's history of the group; interviews with Mat Brinkman, Brian Chippendale and Brian Ralph; and profiles of Jim Drain, Paul Lyons and Leif Goldberg. A lot of art is reproduced (much of it in color) and there are bibliographies for each artist. This issue is a must-have for anyone remotely interested in the Fort.
But, hey, that's not all. There's also an interview with Keiji Nakazawa (
Barefoot Gen); reports on SPX 2003, ICAF 2003, Comica and WizardWorld; and the usual news and reviews (including at least one controversy).
