I just received this email from Carol Tyler: . "Please spread the word: Justin had a sketchbook stolen – it was about half full, containing rough sketches and writings. He was giving a demonstration at the college where I teach [in Cincinnati] and someone walked off with it. It went missing on October 17. I've notified the authorities. I want those who buy and collect comic art to know about it being stolen property. Keep our eyes on ebay."
If anyone has any information regarding this, please contact fbicomix@fantagraphics.com.
UPDATE: Carol Tyler tells me that the sketchbook was returned anonymously! Happy ending!
