Description

Edited by Gary Groth, Michael Dean & Kristy Valenti The Comics Journal has been, for over 30 years, the standard bearer of critical inquiry, discrimination, debate, and serious discussion of comics as art. TCJ provides its readers with an eclectic mix of journalism, commentary, interviews, reprints of classic comics and newspaper strips, historical essays, and reviews of contemporary work on a regular basis. Previously published as a bi-monthly magazine, The Comics Journal has adapted to the digital revolution by expanding its size, and recasting itself as a semi-annual book. Not only will it feature intellectually stimulating content - Gary Groth interviews The Book of Genesis Illustrated's R. Crumb, who also participates in a discussion with Biblical and comics commentators about the Bible and his Genesis adaptation; the art form's top cartoonists collaborate on an exclusive 'exquisite corpse' graphic novel; Joe Sacco talks politics and comics in a critical roundtable on his Footnotes in Gaza; Tim Kreider climbs the mountain that is the work and mind of Cerebus-creator Dave Sim; and much more - it will be designed as an objet d'art, designed by Eisner-Award-nominee Adam Grano.
