Comic Art Magazine

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Comic Art is a magazine focusing mainly on newspaper strip and comic book art. The first 7 issues featured articles on Art Spiegelman, Dan Clowes, Harvey Kurtzman and Frank King. The magazine was co-owned and published by founding editor Todd Hignite, and Daniel Zimmer, the publication's graphic design and art director. In 2006 Yale University Press published a collection of Hignite's "In The Studio" columns in an expanded 320 page hardback, "In the Studio: Visits with Contemporary Cartoonists", ISBN 0300110162.

According to the comics critic Tom Spurgeon, "Comic Art Magazine is a comics publication that ... has chosen to investigate the good and interesting no matter when it's been done."[1]

In 2003 the magazine was nominated for both the Eisner Awards and Harvey Awards.

Since August 2006, Comic Art has been published annually in book form by Buenaventura Press.
