This issue, Dirk Deppey sits down for a freewheeling interview with cartoonist Eddie Campbell, author of the Alec and Bacchus series, co-creator of From Hell and the artist behind the forthcoming graphic novel, The Fate of the Artist. A born raconteur, Campbell discusses everything from self-publishing to Hollywood adaptations to the philosophy of the graphic novel, all with the same wit and intelligence readers have come to expect from his poetic, visionary comics. You won't want to miss it! Also: A conversation with avant-garde manga artist Junko Mizuno, whose super-cute cartoon girls and animals frequently mask a ferocious mix of sex, drugs and violence; Chris Lanier explores the work of sequential painter (and Holocaust victim) Charlotte Salomon; an extensive portfolio of pioneering socialist cartoonist Art Young's sardonic visions of Hell; and all the news, criticism and commentary that you've come to expect from the finest, most provocative magazine about comics available today, The Comics Journal!
