 Breakdowns suffered poor distribution and sales , and 30 % of the print run was unusable due to printing errors , an experience that motivated Mouly to gain control over the printing process . She took courses in offset printing and bought a printing press for her loft , on which she was to print parts of a new magazine she insisted on launching with Spiegelman . With Mouly as publisher , Spiegelman and Mouly co @-@ edited Raw starting in July 1980 . The first issue was subtitled " The Graphix Magazine of Postponed Suicides " . While it included work from such established underground cartoonists as Crumb and Griffith , Raw focused on publishing artists who were virtually unknown , avant @-@ garde cartoonists such as Charles Burns , Lynda Barry , Chris Ware , Ben <unk> , and Gary Panter , and introduced English @-@ speaking audiences to translations of foreign works by José Muñoz , Chéri Samba , Joost Swarte , Yoshiharu Tsuge , Jacques <unk> , and others .
