Meet the Comix of the Future

It is impossible for the comic fan to anticipate the vicissitudes of the industry on the basis of industry publications themselves. When Marvel or National announce big changes and forthcoming titles in their own pages they are usually as reliable as a White House press release. Consequently, a fan might have a problem with a title such as Marvel's Master of Kung Fu, an excellent effort by Jim Starlin and Steve Englehart, two of Marvel's most consistently rewarding artists. Despite some halting publicity in other Marvel titles, this mag hit the stands in almost perfect secrecy.
Which brings us to an interesting publication called The Comic Redder, edited and published by Paul Levitz. TCR is available in subscriptions of six issues for two bucks from TCR Publ., 393 E. 58th St., Brooklyn, N.Y. 11203. TCR is to comics what Publisher's Weekly is to books. Each monthly issue previews virtually every professional mag to come for the next six weeks, including such vital data as cover art,' artists and writers, recent editorial shifts, and the day tne title is scheduled to hit the stands.
