I tried to post quite a while ago but blogger didn't let me and so I lost a long ass comment on graphic novels so I'll see where this gets me today. Been writting an essay for the last five years in the annual St. Martin's Press anthology 'The Years Best fantasy and Horror' so I keep my hand in the field although I mostly just do book illustration these days.<BR/><BR/>Anyway I came across some interesting early (circa late 1800's) proto comic strips from Russia that I thought you might be interested in for your class in graphic narratives. I've scanned several of them so I can sendyour way if you respond to this e-mail(my e-addy: charles@greenmanpress.com).<BR/><BR/>My best to you,<BR/>Charles VessAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15861891.post-1145450223038343422006-04-19T08:37:00.000-04:002006-04-19T08:37:00.000-04:00Nor did I -- hence, the thought.

He lived in Perthshire, a couple of hours north and commuting, despite the excellent mass transit, was out of the question.<BR/><BR/>This is becoming more and more of a problem for many people. Coordinating where the work is with where one can afford to live is one of the great "unsaids" these days. It's an economic development issued tied into both state and federal governments' decisions to de-emphasize mass transit of the past 60 years.<BR/><BR/>While many people think my wife and I are nuts for living in a creaky old New England city with many problems, I have to say that my 10 minute commute (Mary's is even less) is one of the biggest blessings in our lives as gas prices go unchecked toward the $3 line.<BR/><BR/>Did you actually admit that you're considering reviving Tyrant in print? Oh my God! what will the Comics Journals discussion boards will say?<BR/><BR/>Of course you know what I say: screw 'em.<BR/><BR/>Didn't know that chicken dishes could provide a spiritual link between locations seperated by 90 miles.Mike Dobbshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00694483252375913277noreply@blogger.com
