It's hard to believe Fantagraphics has been around for thirty years, setting a standard for independent comics by producing and anthologizing the best by indie comics artists such as Dan Clowes, R. Crumb, Chris Ware, Dame Darcy, Tony Millionaire, Jim Woodring, Charles Burns and more. Aside from indulging in the bountiful catalog, visitors to New York can also check out an exhibit at the Society of Illustrators NYC running until October 21st of original pieces by Fantagraphics' esteemed roster. The Society of Illustrators is located at 128 E. 63rd St, is open Tuesday-Saturday, and is free to visit.

30 years? Wow, that's a long time for an independent label. Good for them.

To be Boasty-the-Clown for a moment, I actually won the Society of Illustrators silver medal for my graphic novel, Beg the Question. So did the immensely talented Dave Cooper, that same year.

Hey, cut me a wedge! It's the only medal I've ever won!

PS: Thanks for using my Onion photo! Make 'em think I'm a jailbird, why don'tcha?
