Description


This issue of the award-winning magazine features an interview with Megahex cartoonist Simon Hanselmann and focuses on economics.


In this issue of the award-winning magazine, Tasmanian cartoonist Simon Hanselmann discusses how his webcomic — starring a witch, a cat, and an owl — became an internationally acclaimed, best-selling phenomenon. Thematically, #304 highlights labor and economics — the past and the future of organizing a comics union, work-for-hire contracts, and how comic conventions can better serve creators — with the Journal’s hallmark candor. Other features include an exclusive look at the unfinished graphic novel that Eisner and Geisel Award winner Geoffrey Hayes was working on before his untimely death in 2017, a peek inside the lush sketchbook of Sophie Franz, a timely work by Brazilian cartoonist Laura Lannes, and more!
