Gil Thorp Hoops Season Gears Up



Above is the cover for the next Gil Thorp collection: Playdown Pandemonium! Gil Thorp is a square-jawed sports continuity strip that still runs in several papers. Those of us who grew up in the Midwest, particularly with the Chicago Tribune, are well aware of its oddball, old-school charm. These collections are for the hardcore fans that prefer the world of Milford High put onto paper by strip creator Jack Berrill -- in fact, the number of advance orders determine the print run. If you aren't on the mailing list already, I doubt you're going to be dropping nearly $40 on the collection. But in case you're interested I'll upload the flier into the commentary section. It's an interesting example of micropublishing for a limited but passionate audience.
