Intro to Mini Comix by Blake!
[Above: Blake shows a photo of the legendary Clay Geerdes as portrayed in the Michael Dowers book, Newave!]
Our old friend Blake has just released a 35 minute introduction to minicomix on YouTube.
It is quite an experience to see a comix movement one was a part of be treated as an exciting period in comic art history. Blake tracks the Newave Comix movement from the comix ancestors of the 1960s up to the 1980s.
To this day I still proudly classify myself as a Newave Cartoonist.
Go Blake! Thank you for recognizing the importance and spark of our comix genre!
Update: Blake follows this up with an addendum: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jamUb7Grhc0
