Cover by Marck Schultz. Celebrating 30 years of artist's artist Mark Schultz, creator of the Cadillacs and Dinosaurs franchise, with a feature-length, career-spanning interview conducted in Mark's Pennsylvanian home, examining the early years of struggle, success with Kitchen Sink Press, and hitting it big with a Saturday morning cartoon series. Includes rarely-seen art and fascinating photos from Mark's amazing and award-winning career. Plus: In Memoriam: The Bijou Boys - With the participation of family, friends, fans and peers, Comic Book Creator examines the life-long friendship and numerous collaborations of the late underground comix pioneers, Jay Lynch and Skip Williamson, best buddies who passed away within 11 days of one another this past March. Along with the recollections of Art Spiegelman, Denis Kitchen, Jay Kinney, Patrick Rosenkranz and others, CBC zeroes in on the era from the cartoonists' Kurtzman-inspired fanzine work as teenagers up until the final issue of their superb creation, Bijou Funnies, either the second or third underground comix title, one born of the tumult of the Chicago riots in 1968!
