Here's Rowson's take on graphic novels & the 1990 Glasgow Comic Arts Convention for the Indy Arts pages, ages ago: Martin Rowson is also one of the people doing the How To Crate A Graphic Novel Seminar on the (Sunday) 26th January for you artistic types out there.  quote:An endlessly versatile artform which places no limits on the ambition of the storyteller, it has produced masterpieces as varied as Alan Moore's legendary Watchmen and the groundbreaking graphic journalism of Joe Sacco's Palestine.

You're right. Thin moustache, quiff, and I can decipher the collar now that I know what I'm looking at. It's still a bit odd; the man's been dead for 16 years!
