Featured Book
World War Z
The Zombie War came unthinkably close to eradicating humanity. Max Brooks, driven by the urgency of preserving the acid-etched firsthand experiences of
the survivors from those apocalyptic years, traveled across the United States of America and throughout the world, from decimated cities that once teemed
with upwards of thirty million souls to the most remote and inhospitable areas of the planet. He recorded the testimony of men, women, and sometimes
children who came face-to-face with the living, or at least the undead, hell of that dreadful time.

Chicago Comics asks Alex Ross 5 Questions
CHICOM: What's your favorite book/strip you yourself have done?
JB: Right now, I guess I'd have to say Clumsy is still the book I'm happiest with overall, although my favorite strip may be the page in Minisulk where my brothers are tickling me and I run away crying.
CHICOM: What are you working on now?
JB: I'm finishing up 'Little Things', my 352 page collection of autobiographical short stories, which will be published in spring of 2008.
CHICOM:What Chicago based artist do you believe deserves wider recognition?
JB: At the risk of sounding a bit biased, I'd have to say Paul Hornschemeier. Even though he's got work out with Fantagraphics and Dark Horse, his books seem to fly under the radar. Hopefully that changes when 'The Three Paradoxes' comes out this year.
CHICOM: What pisses you off the most about Chicago Comics?
JB:That they moved all the indy/alternative comics to the back. It's like it's the 'porn section' or something, all hidden back there in the dark nether regions of the store...
CHICOM: What are you having for dinner tonight?
JB: I don't know yet...my girlfriend and I have to go back and forth with 'what do you want for dinner? I don't know, what do you want? I don't know, what sounds good?' for 20 or 30 minutes before we can decide..
