Kim Thompson on Ignatz Line '07

Kim Thompson jumped on The Comics Journal Message Board to update comics readers on the state of the Ignatz line, one of several interesting experiments with "single-issue" or serial comics that started to pop up the last couple of years in reaction to the overwhelming graphic novel thrust of newer publishing efforts, particularly from companies not Marvel or DC. The high-production value initiative conceived by Igort and published by Fantagraphics and Coconino Press looks to be keeping its price down, too, at least on the one or two 2007 volumes I've seen. Highlights from the thread include the insight that most of the books have been narrative driven, with only The End (pictured) and Mattotti's Chimera working with more abstract material, and that Fantagraphics is going to do a Complete Cabbie book with Marti in 2008.
