Come March, Random House will publish Backing Into Forward a memoir by Jules Feiffer, master cartoonist, playwright, screenwriter and all around renaissance man. According to an early review, it includes much material on his time as Will Eisner’s assistant and other matter from the comics business of the period. As well as a fantastic resource for comics history buffs, Feiffer’s life is compelling material in general and he’s as strong and insightful a raconteur as we’ve ever encountered.
