Cockrum, Lieber, Meth, Milgrom, Netzer, Sim & Spurgeon Lock Arms for Wm. Messner-Loebs Benefit Book
The Three Tenors: Off-Key, an illustrated collection of short-fiction, ships this week from Aardwolf Publishing. Assembled to support artist/writer Wm. Messner-Loebs, whose work dominates the 138-page book, the collection also features oddball stories and art by Dave “X-Men” Cockrum, Steve Lieber, Clifford Meth, Al Milgrom and Michael Netzer (back cover) , as well as an introduction by Dave Sim and an afterword by Tom Spurgeon.
A limited number of signed/numbered copies are still available from Aardwolf Publishing (www.aardwolfpublishing.com).
Messner-Loebs is best-known for the Inkpot-award winning Journey series, which began as a back-up story in Cerebus in 1982. His most prominent work included four- and three-year stints on The Flash and Wonder Woman, respectively, as well as Image Comics’ The Maxx with partner Sam Keith.
“It’s no secret that the Messner-Loebs couple has been in bad financial straits for quite some time,” said publisher Jim Reeber. “They lost their home and key source of income. This terrific book will show fans and publishers alike that Messner-Loebs still has the right stuff. Aardwolf is even offering this book with a money-back guarantee.”
