The Palmer's Picks recap of 1996/preview of 1997 was the final year-end installment of the column.

A recap of the year 1995 in alternative comics, and a look at what was in store for 1996.

My interview with Optic Nerve creator Adrian Tomine appeared just as he was taking his minicomic to Drawn & Quarterly as a full-size comic.

Anthology comics Raw, Taboo and Drawn & Quarterly get the spotlight in this reexamination of my fourth "Palmer's Picks" column.
