Out-Of-The-Way Publishing News

Diary of a Mosquito Abatement Man, which collects all of John Porcellino's stories on that topic that appeared in his groundbreaking mini-comic King-Cat Comix and Stories, is now available to order for $12 plus $2 postage from the artist through the information provided through his catalog page. The 106-page book, which reprints comics from 1989-1999, is published by Zak Sally's La Mano. Porcellino's comics can be really difficult to find unless you shop at the finest comic book stores. I think Porcellino may be one of the most important cartoonists out there, and he is always worth tracking down. Here's a profile of the cartoonist, including a photo I've never seen before.

It looks as if the legendary Gary Panter is selling a book 100 Drawings By Gary Panter. It features 100 of the cartoonist's recent spate of custom drawings, an experiment where people were paying a relatively small amount to have Panter make them an original drawing based on a few words submitted -- kind of like a really bizarre convention sketch. As far as I can tell, that book is only available through Panter's site. Even if you don't want the book, you could do worse than spending a few minutes poking around all things Gary Panter.
