Matt Wagner - Comico / Pre-Comico

Back before Comico there was DUCKWORK. DUCKWORK was a short-lived newspaper “CREATED FOR THE PHILADELPHIA COLLEGE OF ART COMMUNITY” back in the early 1980s. It lasted a handful of issues until the school pulled the plug on the funding. It was more funny pages than news which was probably a factor in consigning the paper to its doom. I attended the Philadelphia College of Art with Matt Wagner, Bill Cucinotta and Gerry Giovinco. I loved comics and was invited to join the fun of working on an anarchic comic pawned off as a student newspaper.
