Buenaventura Press is no more, completely shut down as of this past January. I talked to Alvin this afternoon and he told me it all comes down to a single problem that is legal in nature. Beyond that, he’s keeping his powder dry for now.
This is a real loss for comics. From keeping the pamphlet-style altcomic alive to publishing the seminal, indispensable Kramers Ergot to creating high-quality prints to just generally being a reliable friend of the best cartoonists around, Alvin and Buenaventura are and were the real deal. I hope this works out.
