New Issue, Old Issues

Our new issue is up, and we here at guttergeek HQ could not be more excited. After almost three years of working as a straight review e-journal, we are finding new ways (thanks to new and returning contributors) of opening up the doors to other approaches to the form. Ryan Tokola introduces “Particular Panels,” in which sweeping claims will be made about the comics form and the destiny of mankind based on close—psychotically close—attention to one panel. And Geoff Long joins us for the first time to offer an overview of a new form that is not exactly sweeping the nation—at least not yet. Meanwhile, we have the usual packed assortment of reviews about some of the new work out this fall (to be continued in our next issue: there is a lot of new stuff out there!).

Our old issues are, of course, all-too familiar—only more so. As much as I love
guttergeek and the community that had grown up around it these past three years, I cannot find a way to speed up the production schedule as we all would like. Personal, medical, and professional demands just keep piling up (leaving aside the impressive demands of the current election season), and we keep falling further behind. So apologies to all our contributors and readers for the long delay between issues.

Until next time, when a new issue and old issues will return once again....
