Had a few people stop me to ask where they can buy F&G, The Comic Book Editor’s (Secret) Handbook. It’s fast & easy because we sign and ship them ourselves. $25+ shipping and even faster/cheaper digitally $15.

It's 20 years since @seanphillips.bsky.social and I exchanged a sketchbook back and forth in the mail, a drawn &painted call and response. INTERSECTIONS may be out of print but here is a flip through that sketchbook. You can still find the book out there :)
