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.
