*Magazines/Books About Vintage US Comics: Close to 30 new issues added in to various ‘prozines’, the phenomenon where magazines either started out as professional operations from the get-go, or originated as true fanzines, but mutated into slick productions with paid contributors, with a wealth of research, history and anecdote. Included in this listing are the Twomorrows publications Alter Ego (second series), Back Issue, Comicology and Rough Stuff, later issues of Fantagraphics’ Comics Journal, Comic Book Marketplace, Comic Book Artist (second series), the short-lived 1980s attempt at a true comics-themed newsstand mag, Comics Scene, and the magazine of the graphic arts, Hogan’s Alley.
