Craig Yoe on those Big Boy comics

Big Deal on Big Boy Street: An Interview with Craig Yoe: Voice: AIGA Journal of Design: Writing: AIGA

Hat tip to Mark Evanier, who opines:

Craig Yoe is interviewed on the history of the Big Boy comic books. I don't know how many of those comics — which are given out as freebees at Big Boy restaurants — are printed these days. But there was a long period in the seventies, back when Manny Stallman did them, when those were the most widely-circulated comic books in the country...and by a wide margin. It's amazing how few of them we see at comic conventions, given the massive numbers in which they were distributed.
