Wizard #53: 1996 Preview

A recap of the year 1995 in alternative comics, and a look at what was in store for 1996.

The prolific Paul Pope was the subject of my first proper interview for “Palmer’s Picks.”

Horror master Steve Bissette’s sorely-missed dinosaur comic Tyrant was the subject of Palmer’s Picks in the fall of ’94.

A great example of perfect timing: this column about Chester Brown’s Yummy Fur was published in 1994, right as the influential series ended.

Troubled self-publisher Martin Wagner, and his comic Hepcats, was the focus of my tenth “Palmer’s Picks” column. Where did it all go wrong?

Alan Moore, Big Numbers, From Hell, Lost Girls, glaring typos, and flatulence…all in my revisit of “Palmer’s Picks” from 1992.

A look back at my first feature length magazine article, a profile of Ninja Turtles co-creator Kevin Eastman’s Tundra Publishing.
