Torpedo fiction quarterly mark the 25th anniversary of the death of author Richard Brautigan with a special tribute issue co-edited and with a foreword by Richard Brautigans daughter Ianthe Brautigan.
The special issue features Brautigan inspired fiction from 30 writers, a section of Brautigans own writing in the middle plus a specially designed envelope containing 8 full colour A5 double-sided prints featuring artwork based on his stories. One of which prints is a comic strip by myself, using Richard Brautigans own text, called 'The Library'.
It's good! Don't believe me? Here's what lovely Page 45 had to say...
"Lots of music and lusting and self-deprecation, Marc is effortlessly charming throughout. You really need to see his refreshingly clear and engaging cartooning."
