COMIC BOOK MARKETPLACE #115
Most comic books are a collaborative creation of many minds. The concept, the writing, the layout, the penciling, the inking and the lettering can involve the talents of many people. But there were a few creators of comic books, like Will Eisner, Carl Barks, Al Feldstein, Harvey Kurtzman and John Stanley, who produced their works as solo efforts. These are the auteurs of comics. CBM #115 takes a look at these giants. We've also got great columns by: Michelle Nolan - Nolan's Notebook and That Wonderful Year, Bill Baker - Inspiration Central, Pat Calhoun - Weird Words, Michael Naiman - The Naiman Report, and Mike Wilbur - Collectable Character Statues.
