I can't be the only person here who occasionally finds weird, sort of fascinating tidbits about comics in old magazines or forgotten corners of the Internet. Let's collect them and talk about them here. I'll start off with two from TCJ #135 (1990, Chester Brown cover and feature interview): In addition to the better-known fact that he usually draws panels individually and then sequences them, Brown also talks here about the fact that he was inking with pencil in this period (the interview is also onlne: www.tcj.com/the-chester-brown-interview/4/). I can't see it in any of the printed pages! Then, from the news section -- Mark Badger, who I know best for his abstract comics work but was then just out of art school and working for DC, claims that Paul Levitz agreed to a very unusual piece of compensation after a request that Badger redraw some panels from "The Score," his mini-series with writer Gerard Jones. I'll just quote directly here: "Badger also asked for a $5,000 donation for 'medical supplies for El Salvador,' and got it. Badger said he passed those funds on to the Farabundo Marti National Liberation Front, which is a leftist political military organization fighting a 10 year guerilla war against the government of El Salvador." Levitz writes "a $5000 DC Comics check" in person, on the spot, according to Badger.
