Of Newave and Williams





Michael Dowers asked me to write an introduction for J.R. Williams Fun House # 1 (September 1993, Starhead Comix). It was a pleasure to act as a master of ceremonies in print for a fellow Pacific Northwesterner and one of my favorite cartoonists.

This essay also gave me an opportunity to write a short history of Newave comix in order to provide the setting for JR's early years in publishing.

By the way, if you haven't seen this comic I highly suggest hunting down a copy. The guy is funny.
