Randy Dodson, photographer extraordinaire for Juxtapoz was in our office yesterday to do a photo shoot with Ron for an upcoming issue of the magazine. The 40th anniversary of Last Gasp is coming up (April 1, 2010) and we wanted this photo to capture 40 years of publishing. We piled up a bunch of titles, but there was no way we could get them all in the frame. It’s really only a representative sampling.

One of my favorite quotes was from an interview I saw with Ron Turner (maybe in the ’80s?) where he was explaining the difficulty selling underground comics. The regular comic stores would say, “We can’t carry that, it’s pornography.” Ron would say, “But, there’s no insertion!” The porno stores would say, “We don’t want that, there’s no insertion!”
