Marder-ography – The Independent Comic Book Sampler #2 [1988]

December 14, 2008 · 1 Comment

This page of Beanish and his then-unnamed muse Dreamishness, along with a bio of Marder and offer for a free comic (offer presumably no longer valid, certainly the address is way out of date) appeared in THE INDEPENDENT COMIC BOOK SAMPLER #2 [1988], published during the Ninja Turtles fueled black and white boom of the era, as you can see from the cover below, and including several dozen other cartoonists of the era.

Thanks, as usual, to Shield Bonnichsen for providing the scan and the publishing info for this hard-to-find book.
