Comments on: About Hepcats http://hepcats.wordpress.com If you remember Joey, Gunther, Arnie & Erica, and kind of miss them, you've come to the right place.

It's worn and well-read, because so many people spot it, leaf through it curiously, and say "Wow, what -is- this? This is great!" For anybody who missed it, Martin's 'Texan' run was as brilliant as Berke Breathed's early work, and far more polished. 'Hepcats' overall, strip and series, is impressive work, funny, smart, thoughtful, heartfelt and real (sometimes painfully real). Martin, whether you feel it anymore or not, whether you finish it or not, this is terrific work and something to be very proud of. My signed copy of ‘Yo’ still has a place of honor on my shelf.

It stands in my mind as one of the greatest single issues of a comic book ever written by anyone. I then faced dismay as the months ticked by waiting for #12, which I bought the day it came out, and later I was thrilled to obtain the Snowblind TPB. I had a feeling that there was something wrong with the Antarctic Press deal and was disappointed though not shocked to see such a brilliant series fade into oblivion. After fourteen years of waiting to see #13, I just checked up on the web to find the happy news that a web comic will begin. Congratulations! Welcome back to the field. Good luck. Once you start posting, I will do my best to promote the series. I picked up Hepcats #11 around the time it came out.
