Rick Veitch's Cover For The Return Of Arthur
How's that for an early Christmas present? Rick Veitch draws the cover for the return of free counterculture broadsheet newspaper. Except it's no longer free. But it does give you a lot for about five bucks. And includes an appreciation from Alan Moore…
GIANT-SIZED Broadsheet newspaper
Sixteen gigantic 15″ x 22.75″ pages (8 color, 8 b/w)
Available Dec. 22, 2012
After a four-year sabbatical, beloved revolutionary sweetheart Arthur returns to print, renewed, refreshed, reinvigorated and in a bold new format: pages as tall and wide as a daily newspaper on compostable newsprint, with ads only on the back cover(s). Amazing!
In partnership with Portland, Oregon's Floating World Comics, Arthur's gang of idiots, know-it-alls and village explainers are back, edited by ol' fool Jay Babcock and art directed by Yasmin Khan.
This issue's contents include…
