John A. Vest On This Site’s Review Of Cannon, By Wallace Wood

I enjoyed your review of the Fantagraphics Cannon hardcover. Your description of reading the strip inspired me to take a look at the Eros Cannon comics I collected in the early '90s.

At 30 odd pages per issue, printed sideways, the installments were the right amount of Cannon for the brain to process at a time.

The comic book store where I purchased Cannon kept the title behind the counter with adult and underground comics. Picking up Cannon in the context with other Eros comics of that era, Crumb's ID, I Want To Be Your Dog, Birdland, was actually kind of elevating to the reading experience and the material itself.
