McJacksonstein was in reality a fellow faculty member at South Puget Sound Community College in Olympia, Washington, where I worked at the time. Psychology was his subject. Needless to say he was not using his real name.
I'm not sure but I think the last copies of Truth Be Known were practically given away in the spirit of obscuro comix at SPACE this year by Max. The cover image is included here.
Interesting to read Hank's interview with me almost two decades later as I realize I probably wouldn't alter almost every answer I gave if I was asked the same questions today. I do miss Hank and his great comix. I wish he'd resurface and give us a shout some time.
