ABOUT THIS SITE
TCJ.com is a magazine about comics edited by Tucker Stone & Joe McCulloch. The print edition of The Comics Journal is published annually. Both projects are published by Fantagraphics Books.
ABOUT THE TCJ ARCHIVE
The Comics Journal Archive is an ongoing effort. When an issue is available it will be designated as such in blue at the top of that issue's table of contents. We'll also announce new batches as they go online. For a history of the Journal itself, click over to Mike Dean's 2001 article, Born of Bile. At the present, the archive goes up to issue #300 (November 2009). For technical reasons, more issues will be added when the website architecture is updated. Thank you for your patience.

COMMENTS POLICY
1. Comments which include ad hominem or abusive attacks on writers, commenters, or figures featured on the site may be deleted.
2. Comments which are deemed racist, sexist, or otherwise offensive may be deleted.
3. Comments which stray too far from the topic at hand (especially when of a promotional nature) have a very good chance of being deleted. If you want to share a link, send it to one or both of the editors, and maybe we’ll post it. Otherwise, it better have something to do with the post or resulting discussion.
4. Comments designed to start or prolong unnecessary, unpleasant, and/or just plain ugly arguments (i.e., trolling) will be deleted.
5. Commenters who repeatedly post comments that are deemed abusive in one of these ways will be warned via email. If they continue to post comments of an unwelcome nature, they will be given a week’s suspension. If a third warning is necessary, the commenter in question will be banned pending further review.
That’s it for now, though we reserve the right to add new rules if and when they become necessary. Remember, debate and discussion are welcome, but is important that these arguments stay civil.
