Pittsburgh Comics Scene Profiled

I'm fond of journalist Tony Norman's feature articles. Norman wrote for the Comics Journal briefly in the early and mid-1990s and does most of the comics-related articles that appear in Pittsburgh print media. He looks to be the engine behind this snappy portrait of the local Steeltown comics scene, which includes a rundown of the artists who take part with little pictures like the one here of Jim Rugg.

Local scenes like the one described are very often an important part of the art form's development. Many serve as places where cartoonists receive feedback and feel supported. They can also be sources of practical advice about the making of comics, and places where cartoonists may forge professional relationships that later flower in anthologies and even publishing deals.
