Information was taken from my personal stack of Comics Journals (about 75cm worth) filling in recent gaps with this listing on the TCJ site. The Fantagraphics Store does list interview subjects for back issues it stocks but I don't trust the accuracy of this source.

I will add a list of the issues in my collection once I've sorted them!

The person who nominated this article for deletion, against all policy, hasn't bothered to justify his nomination.

I will give him 24 hours to do so, after which I shall take down the AFD template. Rhinoracer 21:10, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Sorting by date and issue#

Is there some kind of wiki-related doohickey to sort the interviews by date or issue#? The default alphabetical view is handy, but is difficult if a reader is curious about who was interviewed lately, or which TCJ issues haven't been indexed.

Probably such a scheme would require the existing data be re-entered, but it'd be worth it. All the better if the listing "engine" were extensible, so new fields might be added, like time of interview, (some interviews were old or posthumous when published), name of interviewer, location, etc.

I guess it boils down to having little localized databases within articles. --AC (talk) 08:05, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
