Cover art by Antonio Lemos, with design by Chris Barr. Phil Judd also assists me with the editing of the magazine.
The latest INKSPOT has arrived via courier, and copies are being sent throughout this wide land. And a lot of interest has been generated by its lead topic ... The Phantom. Inside this issue there are exclusive stories -- a short history of Frew Publications, as detailed by Australian comic historian Daniel Best, leads us to Frew Publisher Glenn Ford opening up about some of the future plans he has in store for his new charge. Phantom cover artist Antonio Lemos talks about his background history, and there is an overview of the Phantom exhibition presently travelling here and overseas!
Of course, there are other stories too! Comic book artist Dave Dye talks about his creative process, and there is an interview with Martina Zeitler. Because the magazine is published by the Australian Cartoonists' Association, there are six pages of new cartoons by members on the specially chosen topic of "Space and Aliens". Our organisation is a dynamic one, and sad things happen too, so there is a report on the deaths of some from our organisation since the last issue went to press. How much do you know about these cartoonists: Bill Leak, Edd Aragon, Alex Stitt and Clem Seale? We mourn their passing.
This issue may prove to be the most popular issue of all. How can you get to read a copy? Usually, the best place to obtain a copy is by becoming a (full or associate) member of the Australian Cartoonists' Association, and details about joining appear on one of the internal pages of this issue. However, for the very first time, this edition was also made available to Libraries around the country. Many Librarians in New South Wales have taken up the offer and I thank them for their enthusiasm: see in the next week if your local library has a copy to read! Copies are being sent to:

Inkspot, for me, is an honour to edit. It does take a lot of my time. But the end results are worth it. This is the sixth issue I have now been involved in. Even Carlene thought this issue was the best yet! My thanks to all the contributors, and to my designer Chris Barr, and my fellow editor Phil Judd....the good men who work behind the scenes!
