The Comics Journal #311

The Comics Journal returns for its Winter–Spring 2025 edition (#311) with a striking cover mosaic of panels drawn in a spare, expressive black-and-white style, centering on a close-up of a dark-haired woman whose wide, searching eyes anchor the entire grid of everyday scenes around her. The issue features Kate Beaton (Ducks) in conversation with graphic journalist Sarah Glidden, alongside profiles and features on Gilbert Shelton (Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers and Zap), Marc Bell, Jeffrey Lewis, Bob Levin on Victor Cayro, and more. It's a genuinely rich gathering of alternative and underground comics voices, making this a rewarding read for anyone who follows the art form seriously.
