Another interesting piece of original art Marc Myers sent our way was my contribution to Our Story Thus Far # 2.
The artwork measures 27 x 17 cm., is drawn with nonphoto blue pencil and felt tip pen. The paper is still the crappy kind I used, but in deference to Brad Foster, who published this thing, I actually used a ruler in the panel pencils, but not the final ink.
This ambitious comix jam, published by Foster under the Jabberwocky Graphix logo, was published in 1985. My page is dated 1983, so apparently rounding up all these crazy cartoonists for this mammoth project was no picnic.
The multitude of Newave artists in this series is impressive. My own page (36) followed that of page 33, Jane Oliver; page 34, Kevin Eastman; page 35, Peter Laird. I introduced Morty the Dog into the narrative and it was fun to watch how the following artists drew him.
I believe this series is still available from Jabberwocky. A must-have collection for any student of the Newave years, and fun to read even if you just like comix.
