Radical in New York Times

Radical Publishing may not be as prolific as their competitors but they sure do make pretty books. See Hotwire, Last Days of American Crime and Aladdin: Legacy of the Lost as proof. They’re also making waves in the mainstream because of their ambitious aims, including the now obligatory Hollywood desires, but also others including video games and music. There’s a feature article on the company in today’s New York Times, with an interview with a few people in the know, including head honcho Barry Levine. I met him briefly at Comic Con last year and was rather surprised to discover his age in the NYT article (he’s 62!). You can read the article on the Times’ site here and below is what it looked like in the actual newspaper.
