Werewolf #3 Out Now - Featuring New Cartoon Alley!

Article: The Scoop Team

Dear Scoop Subscriber,

On the full moon last night the team here at Scoop published Edition No. 3 of Werewolf (See...http://werewolf.co.nz/ ).

This third issue of Werewolf sees the launch of Cartoon Alley, an initial foray into publishing cartoons and strips by New Zealand artists.

As more people come on board, the aim is to expand into a local version of the Comics’ Journal, with the strips/cartoons being augmented by commentary and interviews on issues – contemporary or classic – that may be of interest to the people who read comics.

In time, we’re also going to design the Cartoon Alley section so that it looks more like the kind of seedy, rundown neighbourhood you’re likely to end up in if you keep on reading this trash. Listen to your parents. That’s the Werewolf mission statement.

The contents of this edition are:
