Mark Mothersbaug
David Gill talks with Mark Mothersbaugh, musician, composer, and visual artist, about his experiences at Kent State, the influence of old sci-fi films, and his childhood vision problems.
Brandon Lehmann

Smoke Bellow
After catching this Baltimore band’s mellow yet dynamic set at Tone Def Records one sunny Saturday afternoon, I decided to reach out to dynamic duo Christian Best and Merideth McHugh and find out what makes Smoke Bellow tick.
Greg & Fake w/Marc Kopinarov
If you haven’t hipped yourself to the Santos Sisters yet, you better correct that post haste, girlfriend. With a style that harkens back to the innocence of Archie Comics but with a clever angle and a sense of humor to boot.
James Stanton
James “the” Stanton is a hardworking comics artist of the Pacific Northwest. He enjoys creating the many strange creatures you’ll find in the forest if you’re very, very lucky. Learn more about him by reading this interview.
Desmond Reed
Looks can be deceiving. Even innocent-looking comic characters with wavy arms and huge hair have bummer backstories. Such is the case with Desmond Reed’s Cola Pop Creemees. They’re a colorful pop band to be sure, but they’ve got baggage as we found out when we talked to comics artist Desmond Reed.
Liz Mason
Many zines have been brought forth unto the world since then and quite a few of those were created by Liz, who has also served as shop manager of Quimby’s for 20+ years.
Liz recently published #14 of her long-running zine, Caboose. Titled “Canadian Boyfriend,” which takes a deep dive into Liz’s adolescent fixation with Canadian rock star Corey Hart. Find out more!
Ben Snakepit
Ben Snakepit has produced dozen of books, zines and assorted comics collections. He’s been drawing a daily autobiographical comic strip for over two decades. After living in Austin, TX for almost 20 years, followed by a few years in San Francisco, Ben, his wife and dog Frankie have moved across the continent, back to Virginia where Ben grew up. The Reglar Wiglar caught up with Ben right before his move back east.
Thomas Comerford
Singer/songwriter and filmmaker Thomas Comerford has lived and worked in Chicago since 1999. During his nearly quarter of a century in town, he has released four solo albums in addition to the four albums he released with his previous band Kaspar Hauser, plus a handful of singles for both projects.
Corinne Halbert
Corinne Halbert is the creator of the terror-ific comic Acid Nun (recently published in a hardbound edition by San Franciso’s Silver Sprocket). The book is filled with colorful, lushly illustrated, horror-inspired images that tell the story of Annie, the Acid Nun, and her bad trip through a psyche crowded with trauma and pain. It’s a spiritual, psychedelic journey to be sure.
