Issue #237
Published Sep 2001 by Fantagraphics.$3.00
The Magazine of Comics News and Criticism. In this issue: 'Comics Gal'-ore, featuring Mary Fleener, Jennifer Daydreamer, Marie Severin, Alison Bechdel, Ellen Forney, Molly Kiely, Joyce Farmer and Carol Lay. For TCJ #237, the staff turns over the tight editorial reins to respected comics professional Mary Fleener, who has put together not only a retrospective look at women comic creators, but a look at new and developing talent and updates on established cartoonists. The 60 self-portraits that make up the wraparound cover display the diversity of the issue and will put to rest the notion that comics are strictly a "boy's club." Women artists, and those who support them, are redefining comics and attracting interests from all areas, including the marginalized, the mainstream, and the media. As you will soon see, the future of the industry may very well rest upon the current Renaissance of Women comic artists. The Comics Journal once again redefines the industry! Plus: Todd McFarlane vs. Neil Gaiman. Also: Comic-Con International: San Diego. Magazine, 120 pages, B&W. Mature Readers. Cover price $5.95.

Issue #242
Published Apr 2002 by Fantagraphics.$6.00
The Magazine of Comics News and Criticism. In this issue: TCJ unearths a long-lost interview of the legendary cartoonist and illustrator Noel Sickles. Sickles drew the adventure strip Scorchy Smith, which in turn inspired Milton Caniff (Terry and the Pirates and Steve Canyon) to further refine Sickles' chiaroscuro style, later championed by Alex Toth. The interview is conducted by another legendary cartoonist, the late Gil Kane, and comics historian Ron Goulart. This is a fascinating conversation among three articulate members of the profession, part history, part shoptalk. Plus: A look at the work of Jason Lutes and Daniel Clowes; some of the last Peanuts strips examined; and DC makes romantic overtures toward Diamond distributors. In addition to the Journal's award-winning news and analysis, this issue also marks the return of critic R. Fiore and his Funnybook Roulette column. Magazine, 128 pages, B&W. Mature Readers. Cover price $5.95.
