Interlibrary loan. It's a beautiful thing. If your library doesn't have a book you want (or an audio CD, or a DVD), they can almost always get it from a participating library that does, usually at no cost to you. Library users, be aware that your public library system may also offer a free online subscription called Hoopla, which gives you access to a limited number of monthly downloads of audiobooks, music, movies, and COMICS. Go to your library website or https://www.hoopladigital.com to find out, and to register for your free account. Mine limits us to four checkouts per month, but they have large and growing collections of titles from DC, Image, Dark Horse, IDW, Valiant, Dynamite, Archie, Top Shelf, and even Zenescope. No Marvel or Fantagraphics, but LOTS of good stuff in general. And they even offer a few good movies that aren't on Netflix or Amazon Prime -- that's how I finally saw The Long Goodbye, which I loved.

Madkal posted:As someone who works in a library it is awesome to see goons use the library to take out graphic novels. The more times graphic novels get taken it the more times a library can justify ordering more titles. Also don't be afraid to request the library to buy a titles every now and again. Me too. I'm a librarian, and even though I don't work in a public library, I take full advantage of my employer's interlibrary loan policy, and I'm constantly checking out graphic novels from my public library, recommending them titles (they bought all of Chew and Hip Hop Family Tree because of me), and using the aforementioned Hoopla to read even more.

That means he's 56 now, but he still looks really young. He seems like a cool, happy, well-adjusted guy with a nice big family. He is my favorite artist, so I'm always happy to see him pop up anywhere. That old Wizard interview was probably the first time I had ever heard of him, way back in '93!
