Title: New comix history book
Post by: jaylynch on March 30, 2008, 10:18:43 PM
Well...actually it's a new edition of Pat R.'s book...but according to this article http://www.comicsreporter.com/index.php/index/cr_sunday_interview_patrick_rosenkranz/
it looks like this new edition contains lots more graphics and lots more new info.  Also the interview sez it looks less like a textbook than the hardcover edition did...So I am hoping for something that introduces the old comix to the new masses with this edition.

Let's see if I can post the link correctly this time
No.  I can't.    OK...so copy the link above into your browser.  Then remove the first superfluous "http".  Then remove everything after the word "rosenkranz" and it will work.

Nice stuff. Can't wait to get the book. Patrick has a good grip on the historical significance of UG comics while recognizing the inherent limited appeal of the genre.

There's a limited appeal to this stuff?  :sad8:

Jay, thanks for the heads-up on the new book. Some great reading just in the interview, so hope the book is as much fun to read.
