Information on the Out of Sequence exhibit at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign can be found here:

There is an illustrated publication along with it. It lists my name as a contributor, but I don't remember doing anything new for it. They might have just used some of my art.

Publications: A fully illustrated book with sequential art essays by the curators John Jennings and Damian Duffy, as well as the artists Stan Sakai and Jerry Craft, and additional essays by R. C. Harvey, Dan Yezbick, Brian Wood and Trina Robbins, and an interactive website.

From the description, I had the impression that the publication was supposed to contain some kind of an essay by you, as well as essays by the curators and Jerry Craft.

Maybe they reprinted one of your bibliographical stories?

My boss just returned from a business trip and somehow got a copy of the Out of Sequence catalog which she gave to me. It looks very interesting though I haven't had much of an opportunity to look it over yet.
