The Comics Journal #48 (1979) delivers sharp, thoughtful takes from Gary Groth, Pierce Askegren, and Kim Thompson, tackling recent comics and art collections with wit and precision. Groth dissects Steranko’s Graphic Narrative, Askegren explores The Illustrated Harlan Ellison, and Thompson offers a measured look at P. R. Garriock’s Masters of Comic Art, all rendered in the journal’s signature critical tone. Jim Steranko handles the interior art with his signature flair, while the cover by John Buscema and Rudy Nebres adds a classic touch to this essential 1979 issue.
