Issue Notes
This was a great looking project but not a commercial success. The tabloid size made it unwieldly and hard to sell. The first issue was offered signed and numbered by each artist. According to Bob Beerbohm "There were two issues of Sojourn which Joe published way back when, when the [Direct Market] was still young. Its unwieldy size and tendency to fall over on the racks made it unpopular with those trying to sell it to the public. Joe was beseeched upon to make it magazine size like Barry Smith was with Story Teller a few years back - both of whom would not listen. Orders dried up, the zines went away - caught in the desire of the artist person to see his work closer in size to the original art, but not suitable to display for sale" Indexer's copy is signed but not numbered and according to Bob Bailey, a former student, the numbering was considered to have been too much of a chore but promised signatures were delivered to charter subscribers.
