The Comix Files: Rick "Ricko" Bradford

 Drawn by Dave Tosh

 Looks like a jam from a comix convention

Rick Bradford of Texas first contacted me in 1992 during the City Limits Gazette days. Although his comix art is wonderful and sparky, we all know Rick as the genius behind Poopsheet, at first a hardcopy resource but it evolved into one of THE most important online resources for creators and collectors of Newave, homemade, zine-like comix. Such energy. The guy must be a strange visitor from another planet with powers above and beyond that of mortal men.

The Comix Files: Edward Bolman

Bolman and I corresponded mostly from 1985-1993, and sporadically since then. He was a regular in City Limits Gazette and was even interviewed. We met several times in the 1980s once he stayed here in McCleary! His work is incredible and more complex than meets the eye.
