Welcome back to the working week. Lots of new stuff for you this week and month. Thanks for reading us so far, and bearing with the occasional bump in the road. (Like the continuing comments wrinkles -- it will get fixed soon, we swear.) May should be the best month yet.
New on the site:
Sean Rogers writes about the great Kim Deitch, via the portfolio published by La Mano.
Frank Santoro turns in his latest Layout Workbook, this time focusing on the format of the late & lamented MOME.
And Kristian Williams returns to the site with a review of Mike Howlett's Weird World of Eerie Publications.
Elsewhere:
