Wordsmith

In the mid-1980s, Renegade Press published Wordsmith, a twelve-issue series that ran from 1985 to 1988. Written primarily by Dave Darrigo (credited also as David Darrigo) and illustrated consistently by R. G. Taylor, the comic stands as a thoughtful, creator-owned work from the independent comics boom of the era—a quiet but distinctive entry that showcases the era's willingness to tell personal, unconventional stories outside the mainstream.
