and art director Dean Motter (Terminal City, Batman: Nine Lives)
brought his knowledge from the world of music promotion and record jacket
design to a suddenly respectable medium. This issue features the celebrated
issues by the Hernandez Brothers (Love & Rockets), Ty Templeton

(Sandman) and Seth (Drawn & Quarterly). Plus never-before-published
