Buenaventura Press Closes Doors
Buenaventura Press, one of the most promising boutique publishers of the previous decade and rightfully lauded for its combination of high-end alt-comics and first-class prints,
closed its doors in January according to an announcement made by Alvin Buenaventura. It's not that this was unexpected -- BP's quiet withdrawal from the comics industry over the last nine months has been the source of a lot of discussion in certain comics circles -- but it's still very sad because of the overall quality of their offerings, ranging from exquisite prints like the above work from Marc Bell to books like last year's great Jerry Moriarty collection. I wish only the best for everyone involved, particularly Alvin, and hope to provide more coverage as news about this move develops.
