Comic Book Creator #38

Artist/writer Rick Veitch discusses his varied career, from undergrounds at age 20, graduating 'first class' at the Kubert School, his wild ride in the '80s with 1941 to Epic Illustrated to Heavy Metal, stint as Swamp Thing man, to his own creator-owned King Hell Heroica universe, including The One, Brat Pack, and Maximortal! Plus we finally uncover the saga of Studio Zero, the short-lived '70s California collective bringing together Jim Starlin, Frank Brunner, Alan Weiss, Steve Englehart, and others who all almost scored a regular comics feature in Rolling Stone magazine! And we shine a spotlight on hugely talented but little-recognized artist Errol McCarthy about his underground comix, CARtoons, and He-Man, Master of the Universe work! Plus a very rare interview with the late Michael Dowers of Seattle's Starhead Comix, a vital presence in the history of alternative comics, conducted by Pat Moriarity.
