Hey, Mark. I'm not attempting to critique this book. (I'm hardly qualified to do that). I just thought you might be interested in which pieces got the most ...
I agree, past; 32 Pages was a nice departure from the land of Akiko that we've come to know and love.<br><br>The book seemed to be influenced by Basil...
Hi Past47 and Mayumi!<br><br>Thanks so much for the feedback on '32 Pages'. I'm delighted to whatever degree Akiko fans can actually enjoy this stuff. I ...

Ok actually I got both the new akiko and 32 pages Wednesday but I'll comment on them now. Wow 32 pages was more different than I was expecting from Akiko. I...
Hey Josh,<br><br>Thanks for the post and feedback regarding the latest issue. I've had a couple of negative comments on this issue; I think part of the problem...
Comic book world sold out of Akiko and 32 pages! I had to special order both of them! is this awesome or what? Actually it kinda stinks cause i don't get my...
Hey Jon,<br><br>Thanks for the post!<br><br>Wow, I'm surprised those comics sold out, unless of course they only ordered two copies of each to begin with. ... ...
i don't know how many they bought...it was more than two I know that for sure...'Fashionably Negative Man' IS turning into a cult figure...<br>why he is even...
I found 32 Pages to be an interesting read. I didn't really find any coarse language or violent imagery (except for Dinah Saw Her) in the book. Have I just...
Hi Dan,<br><br>Thanks for the feedback on 32 Pages. Actually I drink regular coffee in the morning and decaf after 12 noon. (What is it about this club that...
I actually didn't mean to toot my own horn there. I just wanted to point out that the comics argument rages even in non-comic fields, such as the science ...
Hi Mayumi,<br><br>Thanks for posting that link, and for including Akiko among the SF comics you recommend. I wonder what serious sci-fi fans would think of ...
Ack I just remembered a question that has been bugging me. You said 32 pages was a collection of a little comic book thing you did called 12 pages. So ...
Actually I cut out quite a number of pages, Josh, since I prepared four editions of 12 pages back in 1995. Trust me, the stuff I left out was even less ...
Oh ok I was wondering about that. You know what would be neat? Is if you put those extra pages up online somewhere since they probably will never see print...
Hi gang!<br><br>Just wanted to let you know that a new interview just went up; go check it out at: <br><br><a href=http://www.modernmythologyinc.com/page4.html...
Cool interview, Mark. You can tell when an interviewer has an interest in his/her subject. The thing was, I thought of all these follow-up questions to ask. I...
I was more struck by Mark's comments about facial expressions than anything else. No other element in comics is more important to me than that.<br><br>I...
Thanks for the comments, Tracy and Past!<br><br>Tracy, I definitely see what you mean about the importance of art vs. story. Obviously really great comics have...
Loved the interview! <br><br>and now my two cents:from a writerly point of view, the art needs to get across the story. The picture is the vehicle that brings ...
I don't know who to agree with here, on the writing/art argument. I'm a big supporter of the "Understanding Comics" viewpoint, that story and art are equally ...
I think there can be a lot of stylistic variation, comics can range between imagery that tells the story or more text-driven. Anywhere between lies the range....
Thanks Jon, Mayumi, and Paul for your comments. This is a really interesting discussion.<br><br>It's interesting that a distinction can be drawn between...

I have the latest Akiko issue and 32 pages! I like where you're going with this Akiko storyline, Mark. It took a twist in this ish that I didn't expect--the...
