Canucks in NYT
:: Posted by Bryan @ 1/15/2007 04:15:00 AM The New York Times covers the current crop of U.S. strip reprints and several Canadians (including reluctant honourary member Joe Matt) weigh-in with a few opinions. Jeet Heer, Chris Oliveros, and Seth are all quoted and the writer of the new Charles Schulz biography says some of the nicest things yet about Seth's designs for the collected Peanuts (and don't forget, the 14th episode of Seth's new GN, George Sprott, is now online at the NYT).
Jeet Heer, a historian who edits the Herriman and King sets, said: "They make them seem fresh and alive, not just something of antiquarian interest. Those earlier reprint series-- 'Terry and the Pirates,' 'Flash Gordon,' 'Prince Valiant'-- appealed largely to men in their 50s and 60s who wanted to relive their boyhood. The new crop of books aren't being read by people who have a nostalgic memory of first reading them."
