Chabon's 'Escapist'

By Kevin Roderick | April 9, 2004 11:36 AM

The cover story in today's Jewish Journal of Los Angeles is on author Michael Chabon's venture into comic books with "The Amazing Adventures of the Escapist,” based on his Pulitzer-winning novel The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay. The piece is by Tom Teicholz. Also in the Journal, Cathy Seipp does the savvy freelancer thing and repurposes her recent CityBeat column on Rick Orlov of the Daily News.
