![]() ![]() It’s now a twice-a-year prestige magazine covering the cutting edge of comics, as well as unearthing artists or works we feel have been forgotten or overshadowed. In January 2019, I helped to bring it back for a triumphant return with issue #303. Nearly seven years ago, The Comics Journal ceased publication after forty years of being the only real literary magazine looking at the comics medium with a critical eye. I’m also the new co-managing editor of The Comics Journal magazine, a resurrection project I’m very excited to be a part of. My writing and interviews can now mainly be found at tcj.com. I’ve written art criticism, book reviews, and articles about basketball for various sites over the last few years. ![]() I edit books, manage the company’s foreign rights sales and permissions requests, and coordinate with our digital distributors, amongst other things that hopefully result in us getting our books in your hands. In publishing, especially working for a small publishing house, it’s all hands on deck, so my job changes from day to day. My business card says “Rights & Operations,” whatever that means. ![]() I work for Fantagraphics Books in Seattle, Washington. This week we’re delighted to bring you an interview with RJ Casey, a Hope ’09 grad whose pursuit of English has taken him from Moby Dick and Walden Pond to the cutting edge of comics publishing! Happy New Year, and to all at Hope, welcome back for a new semester. ![]()
