Cole me down on the panny sty.

Local self-proclaimed "publisher of the world's greatest cartoonists" Fantagraphics has a new issue of The Comics Journal (The 2005 Special Edition) out right now. There's some content from the manga-centric issue online---including web-exclusive art---enough to whet your appetite. Oh sure, you can read three friggin' pages on the history of the Japanese comic genre as a whole...which I'm sure is very important, given how well the stuff sells. But when it comes to juicer fare, they're a bunch of no-good teases. Just an excerpt of Adam Stephanides' examination of the violence and porn pervading Suehero Maruo's sophisticated work? We needs more. With that in mind, it might be worth a buy, if only to get one's arthouse-porn rocks off.
