Description

Hard truth, subjective take, or slanted hatchet job? Monte Schulz and a roundtable of Peanuts experts and critics probe and debate David Michaelis' controversial biography of one of the most influential and beloved cartoonists of all time: Charles M. Shulz. Matt Madden, co-series-editor of the Best American Comics anthology series, will dish about his upcoming comics textbook, written and drawn with Jessica Abel, and his efforts to translate the OuBaPo movement into English with 99 Exercises in Style. Gary Groth examines political caricaturist and Hunter S. Thompson illustrator Ralph Steadman. Plus, a color gallery of The Wall of Flesh and other '50s horror stories from Golden Age cartoonist Bob Powell rounds out the issue.
