THWAK magazine #5


This ended up as the final issue of the run from summer '03 and is my most favorite. The issue flowed really well and many new contributors were added such as the amazing Jay Lynch, an amazing interview and 2 page spread by CRACKED veteran Bruce Bolinger and a one pager by wacky Art Bouthillier! James Bond cover art and supporting interior 5 pager by Dave Newton who had been a loyal contributor since issue #1.
At the time of its release I was already compiling material for the next 2 issues, #6 was to be dedicated entirely to the one page multi panel gag and #7 didn't have a particular theme. Material for these issues ended up going into CRACKED, JOKESTER and the new THWAK Bonfire of Insanity Collection.
The issue was to be our last as in late summer of that year I became an editor of CRACKED and although I fully intended to continue THWAK the workload and other commitments just proved too much.
