Mark Martin returns with Runaway Comics


Mark Martin, whose "Nude Dancer" strips graced the pages of Comics Buyer's Guide back in the 80s, returns to comics this March with Runaway Comics from Fantagraphics.

Flog! The Fantagraphics blog, shares some information about the book:

The first issue begins with a long story starring his popular character Montgomery Wart (from Tantalizing Stories), plus several shorter stories to round out the issue. The book is full of Martin's patented visuals, at once dazzling and animated, slapstick humor, perfect timing, distinctive character designs, and rambunctious storytelling. Find out why so many cartoonists, from Scott McCloud to Jim Woodring to Dave Sim and Steve Bissette, love Martin's comics.

You can read some of Martin's thoughts on the book (and how it was listed in Previews) on his blog.
