Archie Goodwin, too!

The late, great Darwyn Cooke died almost a decade ago, and TwoMorrows’ Comic Book Creator is planning a special, double-size issue exploring his legacy. The mag also has a big Archie Goodwin spotlight coming in 2026.

Dig these official descriptions:

COMIC BOOK CREATOR #46

We commemorate the 10th anniversary of the passing of Darwyn Cooke, in a special double-size issue, which features two comprehensive interviews with the brilliant artist—one from 2004 conducted by Jon B. Cooke and another from 2010 by Tucker Stone. We also feature numerous testimonials and tributes from many of Dar’s friends and fans. Behind Darwyn’s cover of Canuck Joe Shuster’s co-creation Superman, our theme for the issue is “Truth, Justice, and the Canadian Way,” as we look at fascinating subjects exclusively from the Great White North. These include, courtesy of Richard Comely, a definitive look at the history of Captain Canuck; the life journey of Arn Saba, creator of Neil the Horse and today known as Katherine Collins; and feature a profile of David Boswell of Reid Fleming fame. Plus, we gaze deeply into Orb magazine with founder James Waley, behold Andromeda with editor Dean Motter, and be vexed by Vortex Comics with publisher Bill Marks; and Janet Hetherington shares her look at the Joe Shuster Awards and the Canadian Comic Book Hall Of Fame.

Due: Oct. 21, 2026

COMIC BOOK CREATOR #47

CBC #47 gets positively Epic with our tribute issue devoted to Archie Goodwin, editor/writer supreme, as we talk to friends and colleagues about the exceptionally talented and much beloved man, with a comprehensive focus on his helmsmanship of Epic Illustrated and the eclectic and wide-ranging Epic Comics line of the ’80s. Plus, since we’re in the Epic groove, things get in-depth and definitive with a years-in-the-making, lengthy feature talking with Michael Wm. Kaluta and Elaine Lee about their wild and enduring Starstruck projects, which started as an Off-Broadway stage production and blossomed into a comic-book series that has traversed the decades. Also, Shaun Clancy investigates the life and art of Hal Seeger, animator of Batfink and Milton the Monster and comics creator of Leave It to Binky for DC and G.I. Jane for Stanhall. Additionally, we include a conversation with Rick Altergott in the first installment of a comprehensive interview with the Doofus creator, as well as a look at the best comics parodies in National Lampoon, with art by Neal Adams, Russ Heath, Barry Windsor-Smith, and others. Oh, all this and Hembeck, too! Edited by Jon B. Cooke.

Due: Dec. 16, 2026
