Make ready for COMIC BOOK
CREATOR, the new voice of
the comics medium!
TwoMorrows is proud to debut our newest magazine,
COMIC BOOK CREATOR, devoted to the work and careers
of the men and women who draw, write, edit, and publish
comics, focusing always on the artists and not the artifacts,
the creators and not the characters. Behind an ALEX ROSS
cover painting, our frantic FIRST ISSUE features an investigation of the oft despicable treatment JACK KIRBY endured
from the very business he helped establish. From being
cheated out of royalties in the ‘40s and bullied in the ‘80s by
the publisher he made great, to his estate’s current fight for
equitable recognition against an entertainment monolith
where his characters have generated billions of dollars, we
present Kirby’s cautionary tale in the eternal struggle for
creator’s rights. Plus, CBC #1 interviews artist ALEX ROSS
and writer KURT BUSIEK, spotlights the last years of
writer/artist FRANK ROBBINS, remembers comics historian
LES DANIELS, talks to TODD McFARLANE about his new
show-all book, showcases a joint talk between NEAL ADAMS
and DENNIS O’NEIL on their unforgettable collaborations, as
well as throws a whole kit’n’caboodle of other creator-centric
items atcha! Join us for the start of a new era as
TwoMorrows welcomes back former Comic Book Artist
editor JON B. COOKE, who helms the all-new, all-color
COMIC BOOK CREATOR!

CARIELLO and TIM TRUMAN. Includes comprehensive

Age artist and 3-D comics pioneer, to top Tarzan artist,
editor, and founder of the Kubert School. It’s replete with
Kubert interviews, rarely-seen art and artifacts, plus
testimonials, remembrances, portraits, anecdotes, pin-ups
and mini-interviews by faculty, students, fans, friends and
