CBC #48 headlines the superb artistry of Brent Anderson in a comprehensive interview, where his fanzine and early alt-comics are discussed, as well as his start as a pro in the ill-fated Xanadu movie adaptation; early success with Ka-Zar; X-Men: God Loves, Man Kills graphic novel work; Somerset Holmes and Strikeforce: Morituri; and even greater notice as collaborator (with Kurt Busiek and Alex Ross) on the Astro City series, as well as his current projects. We also talk with Warren magazine horror comics writer Bruce Bezaire, scripter of the terrifying “Night of the Jackass” series. CBC also continues its conversation with Rick Altergott about life as an alternative cartoonist and his latest Doofus adventures. Shaun Clancy digs into the history of the American Comics Group and its cloaked connection to DC Comics. And we also grok the outstanding retro approach of Blue Moon Comics with publisher Lloyd Smith (a.k.a. The Groovy Agent), as well as take a loving look at the incredible Filipino “Tagalog Komiks” of Nestor Redondo and Alfredo Alcala. And, par for the course, Hembeck tees off with another whole-in-one Dateline episode! Edited by Jon B. Cooke. COMIC BOOK CREATOR #48. Physical comic book, printed on paper. Collectible and in near mint condition (9.2+). New and unread, bagged and boarded. Published by TwoMorrows Publishing. Written by Jon B. Cooke. Interior art by Brent Anderson.
