Wh...I missed the series' heyday in the 90s too. When I did see it, I guess it didn't really grab me. Then finally, some time in the 00's when it was winding down, and had changed to color, I picked up an issue just because I'd heard so much raving and acclaim for it. But that issue at least didn't make me a convert. Kind of felt like I was coming in late to a long-running soap-opera.

Maybe if more Fantagraphics books were AVAILABLE FOR PURCHASE IN MY STATE!!, I'd give them more attention.
