With news of Highwater Books sinking and Alternative Comics perhaps shrinking, the advent of 2005 finds many comics readers asking about the next wave of art comics publishers.

In An Interview with Alvin Buenaventura of Buenaventura Press, the longtime San Diego resident chats about his imminent foray into the land of invoices and packslips.
