I’d like to believe that even though we are truly in an age where print is diminishing and reading a book has nothing to do with turning a page… by jove, if you create something that is meant to be touched — folks wanna touch it! AdHouse Books, Sing Statistics, Nobrow, Koyama Press—those peeps are my heroes! I want to see Ferocious move beyond its quarterly issues and start publishing the “Short Works” stories on paper, put a comic in print, publish a work of poetry, publish a work from our friends and collaborators… I want to go broke and I want to be surrounded by the smell of offset ink and uncoated paper. I believe in it.
A great interview in The Fox Is Black with Nate Utesch, founder of Ferocious Quarterly. I love that he used a national tour with his band to scout which bookstores and comic book shops could carry his magazine.
