Description

"Gentleman Gene" is showcased in our Gene Colan: Without A Net headlining feature in CBC #45, featuring the participation of Tom Field as we include a wonderful 75th birthday celebration of the artist at San Diego Comic-Con back in 2001, featuring some special guests. So you think you know the craziest lunatic in comics history? Think again, as we, with the help of onetime employee Mark Wheatley, spotlight gunslinging Myron Fass and his nutty Heavy Metal rip-off, Gasm! There’s also an account of editor Jon B. Cooke's visit to the ambitious (albeit shortlived) Florida-based comics publisher, all-in-one Crossgen, then at the crossroads and facing collapse. The first portion of the Good Girls cartoonist Carol Lay's interview is included, where we discuss her jumping between underground, alternative, and mainstream comics. Plus there’s part two of our Jack Katz interview, Joe Hill part deux, as well as Shaun Clancy’s brief though absolutely fascinating look at Hillman Periodicals, publisher of Crime Does Not Pay and Airboy. (And, as always, Hembeck is in the house!)
