Dave Sim contributed to all 32 issues of CANAR (Comic Art News And Reviews) published by John Balgé (1954-2014) between September 1972 and April 1976. Balgé had got to know the sixteen year old Dave Sim through Harry Kremer’s Now & Then Books
comic shop in Kitchener, Ontario. Balgé, Sim and Kremer travelled
together to comics conventions in the US and Canada interviewing many
prominent comic creators of the day, making the back issues of CANAR a treasure trove of interviews with the likes of Will Eisner, Russ Heath, Harvey Kurtzman, Barry Windsor-Smith, Mike Kaluta, Gil Kane, Berni Wrightson, Howard Chaykin and others.

It astonishes me, when reading these (all too infrequent) CANAR excerpts just how intelligent, thoughtful and erudite Dave was at the ripe old age of 15.
Really something. Please keep them coming.
Oops! I meant 17.
