News from the Record

The Record, a periodical from the Washington State University Friends of the Library, had brief articles about the comix collection as well as the Lynn Hansen Beatles collection.

City Limits Gazette # Ch-ch-ch-changes (Sept. 29, 1993)

Cover by Gary Usher, logos by Brad Foster - Ricardo Nancy McJacksonstein - Andrew Ford - Jason Salisbury - Robert Lewis - Maximum Traffic - Gary Usher - Jenny Zervakis, CLG reader profiles of Randy Paske - Ben Adams - Randy Scott - Michael Neno - Troy Hickman - Clark Dissmeyer, Jay Kennedy makes a request, UG/Newave artists in unusual settings by Rick Bradford (a link to the future networking main man!), Robert DuPree makes a pitch, Bil Keane Watch by Ken Clinger, Matt Love responds to deep-sixing the NEA, Jeff Snee on comic art and racism, I endorse Goodman (David John Pack) for Olympia City Council, Heath Row subscribes, Maximum Traffic bids farewell to CLG but gives a hint of the coming White Buffalo Gazette, Comix reviews by Lynn Hansen, Goodbye CLG, back cover by Maximum Traffic.

I did indeed move after wrapping up this issue, in 1994 to where I presently live. And I returned to producing comix, bought a photocopier, and spent a couple years with a large list of print-on-demand titles. Robert Dupree became somewhat infamous within a couple years, was chased out of the publishing world by the publication of KOOL Man, and apparently died in 2006 at the age of 57 in Massachusetts. Goodman was not, unfortunately, elected to the Olympia City Council. Lynn Hansen died in April 1995.

Michael Neno, who I finally had a chance to meet this year at SPACE, has in this issue one of my favorite quotes ever to come out of CLG: "... if you now have the freedom to do whatever you want, why in the world would you choose to do the same old formulaic stuff?"

City Limits Gazette was one wild ride.
