Resisting Arrested Development Since the Ford Administration. In this Special 25th Anniversary 'Ego Issue': Testimonials and essays on how the Journal changed the world for the better, an adorable and scandalous picture album, a timeline of everything that has ever happened that matters, contributions from Dave Sim and Scott McCloud, and more. The comics industry comes to a grinding halt, the wheels of commerce stop turning, and creative work is abandoned as professionals and fans alike get in line to pay a month-long tribute to the 25th Anniversary of the magazine you love to hate and hate to love: The Comics Journal. Pictorial tributes in Wizard, letters of congratulations from the presidents of Marvel, DC, Image, Aardvark-Vanaheim, the Kilimanjaro Corporation, et al., conventions organized around a single theme, a special Gemmy Award created for this singular occasion and personally delivered by one S. Geppi -- yes, it's hard to imagine, but The Comics Journal has been around for 25 agonizing years and this issue will celebrate each and every glorious year. Featuring testimonials and denunciations from appreciative and vengeful professionals, interviews with some of the major players in The Journal's history, a year-by-year recapitulation of the high points of comics history as witnessed by The Journal, Gary Groth's list of Favorite Enemies (as well as Enemies I Wish I Made But Didn't), and all the news and criticism that's made The Journal what it is today.

Transcripts from the courtroom drama. Also: The intellectual properties that launched a thousand legal briefs. The new wave of copyright wars and how they could affect the comics industry.

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.

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.
