    The Magazine of Comics News and Criticism. TCJ interviews two prominent DC writers: first, Dirk Deppey sounds out the Eisner award-winning indie writer/artist Bill Willingham, whose Fables series has been embraced by both critics and fans worldwide! Then, in the second part of an interview too enormous to fit in one issue, Mike Catron gets the inside gossip on Silver Age DC from the prolific Bob Haney, creator of the Teen Titans and Metamorpho! (See #276 for the first part.) Plus: rare 1940's comics by Little Brown Jug animator Orestes Calpini; tribute to underground comix pioneer Jaxon; and a Chris Ware exhibit at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Chicago. Also: reviews, letters and news. Cover by Bill Willingham. 200 pages, PC/PB&W. Cover price $9.95.
