Of Bookish Things#JackKatz, 1927-2025
#Artist/ #Writer Jack Katz, whose ambitious #ndyComic epic, #TheFirstKingdom, laid the groundwork in the 1970s for #LongformGraphicNarratives like #Cerebus, died April 24 at the age of 97. If he had not published that #ScienceFantasy saga, it’s likely that Katz would have been regarded as just a journeyman #Illustrator, who tried — with little success — to make a living in comics. As it is, he will be remembered for his attempt, during the waning days of #UndergroundComics, to put out one of the first self-published #graphicnovels
