Dan W. Taylor was another person from the Newave days I was hoping to meet. As it turns out, Dan and his wife Carrie are cranking out little minicomix at such a prolific rate that Dan can be called a minicomic king at this point. Seeing a guy with his long history in self-publishing still being this active really puts me to shame.
Dan is also nudging several old Newavers to return to the drawing board. He seems to have become a professional instigator.
For any student of the Newave, his Time Warp Comix is a must read. Dan gave me some art for my next collage piece, and I promised him some work for his fun series. See how he does this? The guy is insidious. Like I said, a professional instigator.
The Taylors also donated a pile of minis for me to send to the Washington State University Library comix collection.

Dan is a King and a Prince! Thanks for highlighting his comix and getting a great photo of him!
ReplyDeleteHi Richard: Dan wanted me to tell you hello. He asked if you were as nice a guy in person as you are in letters and of course I answered affirmative. I'm sure you would've loved being at SPACE.
ReplyDeleteI always look forward to visiting Dan's table each year at SPACE. He's always got all kinds of goodies!
ReplyDeleteMeeting Dan and Carrie Taylor was one of the highlights of SPACE 2011 for me. I didn't know until I met him in person that we were both farmboys in our upbringing. Dan is turning into a major activist in bringing out the potential of the over the hill Newave gang. More power to him!
