Is the comic-book dead? Can periodical publications survive in a world where the retailer needs to charge more for a slim pamphlet than the customer wants to pay? Are collections, albums and all-new comic stories in large, more cost-intensive packages the answer? Win Wiacek examines strips old and new with big page counts and mutable shelf-lives.

G’day Win!
I was researching Reg’s art again on the net as I have discovered an old drawing he did of Jean Harlow. In the process, I came across your excellent site again. I must apologise to you as it appears you replied to my comments and I did not extend a similar courtesy. Furthermore, I left you no contact details before moving on! Hopefully you now have my email address and I would be delighted to give you some background to Reg as he really worked himself to an early death over his art for which he lived and died for.
Kind regards, Trevor (Bunn)
