See a new preview of Comic Book Creator magazine

This looks good: A new mag from TwoMorrows Publishing focusing on comics artists and writers. It's created and edited Jon B. Cooke, editor of the acclaimed Comic Book Artist magazine, which ceased publishing several years back.

Some background info:
 TwoMorrows Publishing is proud to debut our newest magazine, COMIC BOOK CREATOR #1 (84 FULL-COLOR pages, $8.95) devoted to the work and careers of the men and women who draw, write, edit, and publish comics, focusing always on the artists and not the artifacts, the creators and not the characters. Behind an ALEX ROSS cover painting, our frantic FIRST ISSUE features an investigation of the oft despicable treatment JACK KIRBY endured from the very business he helped establish. From being cheated out of royalties in the ’40s and bullied in the ’80s by the publisher he made great, to his estate’s current fight for equitable recognition against an entertainment monolith where his characters have generated billions of dollars, we present Kirby’s cautionary tale in the eternal struggle for creator’s rights. Plus, CBC #1 interviews artist ALEX ROSS and writer KURT BUSIEK, spotlights the last years of writer/artist FRANK ROBBINS, remembers comics historian LES DANIELS, talks to TODD McFARLANE about his new show-all book, showcases a joint talk between NEAL ADAMS and DENNIS O’NEIL on their unforgettable collaborations, as well as throws a whole kit’n’caboodle of other creator-centric items atcha! Join us for the start of a new era as TwoMorrows welcomes back former Comic Book Artist editor Jon B. Cooke, who helms the all-new, all-color COMIC BOOK CREATOR!

And here's a PDF preview of the first issue.

  1. Maybe someday they will do an article on the Maneely tragedy.

  2. Alter Ego did a nice feature on Maneely several years ago that's worth tracking down.

  3. I'm proud to be a staff transcriptionist for the new mag! Working slowly on a Tim Truman interview today since my regular computer is out of commission. How about a plug for my computer fund so I can keep on working and blogging?
