“The Critic”

In "The Critic," Samuel Joyner offers a candid, deeply personal reflection on his decades-long career as an African-American cartoonist, tracing his journey from early work in newspapers and magazines to his contributions in advertising since the 1940s. Drawn and lettered by Joyner himself, the piece blends sharp observation with quiet dignity, capturing the evolution of his voice and artistry across generations. The cover, by Mark Schultz, complements the introspective tone with a striking, stylized portrait.
