Front Cover Artist: Gary Panter. Back Cover: Charles Burns. Cover price: $14.95. Art Spiegelman, Ben Katchor, Kim Deitch, R. Sikoryak.. Charles Burns / Teen Plague from Outer Space, Kim Deitch, Tom Dehaven / 50’s Commie Nostalgia, Jacques Loustal / Eating Disorders in Central France, Ben Katchor / The Purpose of Language, Art Speigelman Maus New Chapter In its original 1980s incarnation, the Art Spigelman and Francoise Mouly edited Raw changed the scope of comics, and paved the way for the current diversity of style and content in graphic novels.

Gary Panter’s cover is a first issue statement of intent – an artfully primitive drawing of a face that’s parts Popeye, Donald Duck, and Ernie Bushmiller’s Nancy. Raw is the unruly offspring of American popular culture: they may mock and subvert it, but it’s part of their DNA.
