The Magazine of Comics News and Criticism. This issue, comics critic and historian Paul Gravett interviews British cartoonist Posy Simmonds. Best known for her weekly strips for The Guardian (such as "The Silent Three of St. Botolph's") and her reworking of Madame Bovary and Far from the Madding Crowd (Gemma Bovary and Tamara Drewe, respectively), the pair also discuss other aspects of her wide-ranging career, such as her children's books and her strip "Literary Life." Also: a career-spanning interview with Gail Simone, who recently left her long and well-received run on the super-heroine team book Birds of Prey to tackle the newly revamped Wonder Woman title. She will also talk about her work on series such as Villains United, Superman, Welcome to Tranquility, and Killer Princesses, and her "women in refrigerators" website. Plus: insightful comics reviews and columns, and a comics section featuring Otto Soglow's The Ambassador. Cover by Posy Simmonds. PC/PB&W. Cover price $11.95.
