Steven Hager and Bruce Rosenberger publish the Dutchy Digest, a comic with regional humor and the kind of thing you'll only find through the small press. More than an entertaining comic title, it is also a cultural document that will no doubt be valuable to future historians on many levels. The duo was lucky to have one of the best locations at the exposition, right next to the entrance.
Michael Neno was one of the CLG subscribers during my editorship and someone I was really hoping to meet at SPACE. He has recently launched an impressive comic series called Signifiers.
This unfortunately fuzzy phone photo captures Steven and Bruce at their table, with Michael paying a visit.
Aw gawrsh!
ReplyDeleteSuch a pleasure to meet you guys in person. I really appreciated Steve's thoughtful answer when I asked him about the cultural connection he had to your comic series. You are capturing a slice of a segment of the American experience in a really original way. I'll be sending your comix to the Washington State University collection. You two really have a unique cultural corner carved out in the comic art world. I hope readers of this blog follow the link and check out your publications. Well worth the effort.
ReplyDeleteWell, just to confuse matters, since we got home, I bought the dutchydigest.com domain name and started a new web page where we hope to consolidate things. I have already uploaded the 7 Free Comic Book Day issues for folks to download and print their own copies! Great meeting you too!
