Finally! I’ve had copies for a week or so, but the book hits comix shoppes today.
Collaboration has always been part of my comix repertoire (viz. American Splendor, Keyhole, Titans of Finance. etc.), and The Vagabonds #2: “Of Two Minds” continues that tradition. In the book, I illustrate stories by (among others) Harvey Pekar, Duplex Planet‘s David Greenberger, Titans of Finance‘s R. Walker, award-winning poet/memoirist Nick Flynn, literary cult figure Eileen Myles, artist Martha Rosler, The Beatles, and the New York downtown theater company The Civilians. Published by Alternative Comics, The Vagabonds #2 features 17 (!) stories in 32 pp. — all for $3.95.
I’m really happy with how the book came out. It’s slightly oversize, has a nice matte coated cover, and the artwork is printed in chocolate brown ink on cougar tinted paper. So please check it out, and if your shop doesn’t have it, please ask them to order some copies.
Gosh, I hope I can get one – oh, wait. I love it!
thanks, dawg. it was great seeing you at SPX, and i’m thrilled about all the hype you’ve been getting for Crazy Papers!
The hype is nice, but honestly my favorite thing anyone’s said to me about it is how you and Sari read it together riding back on the train from NYCC. So sweet!
Personally, I always ask for John Cougar Mellencamp tinted paper, but I’m a child of the 80s. Looks good Josh – I eagerly anticipate reading it!
nyuk nyuk.
