"RAW clearly set out to challenge the traditional hierarchy between fine art, comics and graphic illustration.... RAW [was] a meticulously designed and printed oversize magazine of graphic art, one of the finest anthologies of comic art ever published. It was distinguished by its witty, self-aware explorations of the comics format, both in its reprints of European and Japanese comics and in its publication of eccentric and visionary American comics by Gary Panter, Charles Burns, Sue Coe, Kaz, Mark Beyer, and many others." – John Carlin, Masters of American Comics. Yale University Press: 2005.______________________________________________________________
