The Comics Journal #48
The Comics Journal #48 (1979) delivers sharp, thoughtful takes from Gary Groth, Pierce Askegren, and Kim Thompson, tackling recent comics and art collections with wit and precision. Groth dissects Steranko’s *Graphic Narrative*, Askegren explores *The Illustrated Harlan Ellison*, and Thompson offers a measured look at P. R. Garriock’s *Masters of Comic Art*, all rendered in the journal’s signature critical tone. Jim Steranko handles the interior art with his signature flair, while the cover by John Buscema and Rudy Nebres adds a classic touch to this essential 1979 issue.
