 COMICON.com: DENNIS THE MENACE & GARY GROTH
Groth explained, "Apart from the comic book version, the Dennis the Menace daily strips were mostly a single gag panel - usually two panels, so it functioned entirely different from a narrative, which is what they constructed for the TV and movies.
Groth added, "Expanding on that for a moment, I think it was Ketcham's caligraphic line that so immediately made his brilliance as a cartoonist evident.
Groth said the main cast of the original Dennis the Menace included his parents: Henry and Alice Mitchell, his friends Margaret and Joey, his dog Ruff, and those lovable, beleaguered next-door neighbors, the Wilsons, although Mr.

Groth recalls, "There was one convention where [Fleischer] recruited people to draw for him and sell the drawings for his legal fund, and I created an ad hoc group of artists to draw opposite his artists.
Groth and Thompson happily admit they have no business sense—they only knew they wanted to encourage more people to follow the path of literate, iconoclastic figures like Crumb and Art Spiegelman.

Gary is the controversial editor of the Comics Journal and co-owner of Fantagraphics books.
Since it began in 1976, it has grown in stature and size, and has featured in-depth profiles and interviews with all of the major comic creators, even such notoriously publicity-shy artists as Frazetta, Watterson, and Crumb.
It's equally well-known for its often feisty letters column and Groth's trenchant editorials.

After a solid twenty-five YEARS in the industry trenches, all told: Gary Groth has officially outlasted (and contributed more, of appreciably greater significance) to the medium than a good-sized sampling of mainstream writers, artists and editors, thereof.
As Gary Groth himself so aptly and artfully detailed it, in his editorial for TCJ #136:
Again: Unca has never enjoyed the privilege of correspondence with Gary Groth; has never contributed an article to THE COMICS JOURNAL; and (plainly) occupies no real common ideological "ground" with either, insofar as this here site is concerned.

Lord knows Dave (Cerebus) Sims had to nearly hit Gary with an issue of Neil Gaiman's Sandman before Gary even acknowledged its existence, let alone admit that a (shudder, gasp) color book from (the pain!) DC Comics might even be good.
Still, curmudgeon that he is, Gary Groth is an unending voice in favor of the artform, artistic freedom, and anti-censorship.

 TIME.com -- Andrew Arnold: Watching the the Watchers
In 1976 Gary Groth and Mike Catron purchased the rights to a dying fanzine called "The Nostalgia Journal," and published it as "The New Nostalgia Journal." Soon renamed the "The Comics Journal," it began by publishing an expose of the sleazy dealings the publishers had with another fanzine owner.
Unprecedentedly juicy for a "fan" magazine but way overlong and self-involved, the piece immediately established the contradictory nature of the "Journal" that continues to this day.
Thanks to Editor-in-Chief Gary Groth, the "Journal" remains uniquely focused on the artistic merits of the medium.
