Publisher's note

The historic magazine about comics, now available to the book trade
"The Comics Journal" is the award-winning print magazine and website exploring the widest range of cartooning--newspaper strips, alternative and mainstream graphic novels, international works, editorial cartoons, webcomics, and much more--in the world. Treating the medium as an art form, "TCJ" is the magazine of record for one of the fastest-growing categories in the book industry, as well as an area of increasing academic interest. "TCJ" is the perfect magazine for the widening spectrum of discerning and sophisticated readers who take home such books as "Persepolis, Fun Home" and "The Complete Peanuts," Ever since its debut in 1976, "The Comics Journal" has promoted a wider range of comics than any magazine in the field, and bookstores that carry "The Comics Journal" routinely find out that the lively, in-depth magazine guides customers to new discoveries.
In TCJ #294: Art speaks louder than words when the Journal interviews two cartoonists who have had success with "silence." Norwegian Jason, who populates comics, such as "Hey, Wait..., The Left Bank Gang" and "I Killed Adolf Hitler" with deadpan anthropomorphic animals, muses on the thin line between tragedy and laughter and why B-movie creations continue to resonate with the 21st century public. Lio comic-strip cartoonist Mark Tatulli talks to the Journal about bringing kids and ghouls together on the Funny Pages in Lio, one of the most innovative and entertaining comics strips in recent decades. And a color comics gallery goes back to the early days of one of the world's longest-running comic strips: Billy DeBeck's Snuffy Smith precursor, Take BarneyGoogle, F'rinstance, spanning 1919 to 1921.
