Go, Listen: Tim Hensley Interview By Roman Muradov

imageThat's a really interesting pairing.

Hensley's Sir Alfred No. 3 has a fascinating story in that the book that started with Buenaventura Press and ended up with Fantagraphics Books upon the passing of publisher Buenaventura Press. Championing unique talents with a special attention to the way the work is presented, that's what Alvin Buenaventura did best when he was operating on all cylinders. For its part, Fantagraphics never gets historical credit for some of the things they've done for smaller-press counterparts or books that are placed with such publishers when something horrible like this comes up.

I hope you'll read the comic. Despite its twin publishing partners, that is going to be one of the most obscure titles with which to grapple when it comes time to naming the best books of 2016.
