...honors in comix: Eisner Award nominations for Best Short Story and Name Deserving of Wider Recognition, and a Harvey Award nomination for Best New Talent. The hat trick: Top Shelf will be reprinting the original book next month in a spiffy new edition. Here is your chance to catch up on this artist's sharp comedy, thoughtful characterizations and cartooning pizzazz...

Like Jordan, one of his best friends, Woods would never quit without reaching that pinnacle once again. And like Mike...
...moral giant. That is not to say he is pure. He is a hero precisely because he always admitted his errors and then tried to rise above them. And he has never stopped learning. I spent many days with him in 1993, working on his autobiography. He had to catch up on almost three decades of social change, and one of the things he had to learn about was AIDS. At first, this 75-year-old man did not have the most enlightened view. But within a year--long before other, younger South African leaders--he understood that AIDS...
