But this week is different because Jim Rugg himself stopped by our center-of-the-earth recording studio to drop some truth about Street Angel and his career. Jim is one of the most flat-out creative talents working in comics and design today, and we couldn't be more thrilled to bring you this wide-ranging conversation. His latest book is a re-release of his first published work: Street Angel. It's &amp;lt;a href=&quot;http:\/\/www.adhousebooks.com\/books\/streetangel.html&quot;&amp;gt;available from Ad House Books&amp;lt;\/a&amp;gt; and finer comic shops everywhere.
