Another one bites the dust. As a print publisher, I’m feeling like the last dodo bird.
I too met Aragones at some con and got something signed by him. I don’t know what it was or where it is now but I really enjoyed his work. I loved the fold-outs too.
There’s this great story about how in the early years, they had a line subscriber in the Bahamas or Puerto Rico or somewhere, and when he cancelled his sub, the whole staff flew down, knocked on his door and convinced him to re-subscribe.
I also really admire how they didn’t take advertisers for so long. It was an amazing mag and it taught me a lot about subversive thinking.
