Leland Myrick is the creator of an exquisite memoir called MISSOURI BOY, which we’re really proud to publish. Coming out in Fall ’06, so more about it in the near future…

In the meantime, here’s Leland’s entry in our chronicle of all-time favorite moments in graphic novels:

Favorites_5

“I read Varlot Soldat by Tardi and Daeninckx around the time it came out in 1999. Like most of Tardi’s work, images from that book have stuck with me ever since. Few can draw the pain and humiliation of war like Tardi. I’ve sent you an image of Varlot running from the church which has just been blown up.” — Leland MYRICK
