Rutgers is having a summer sale! And Carol’s essay on early Black comics readers is SO GOOD

Really looking forward to getting a copy of this book. Congrats Pat and Jorge!

Every single thing on this page that isn’t a human figure (or object) is lettering. My work on FALL THROUGH is nominated for the “Best Lettering” Eisner Award this year— please consider voting for me in this category. Thank you for your support! www.comic-con.org/awards/eisne...

I'm co-organizing a panel proposal on "Adaptation & Opposition Through Comics" for MLA 2026 in Toronto! Abstracts due by March 15: bit.ly/MLA2026comicsadaptation

For Black History Month: last year I compiled a bib of sources re to Black youth's experiences in reading #comics (1930 - 1965). This work accompanied my essay on the same topic in @qianawhitted.bsky.social book Desegregating Comics. More here: caroltilley.net/2023/04/blac...

If you also have friends and family who received the “fork in the road” offer, this piece from Lawfare is a good explainer: www.lawfaremedia.org/article/brea...

CFP: Canadian Comics. Abstracts due 3/15. 🇨🇦

RIP Jules Feiffer, 1929-2025. A true legend.

I spent way too much time paused on this badly photoshopped newspaper #Severance

so i took @robertaman.bsky.social and lars wallner's textbook TEACHING WITH COMICS, which is a survey of what teachers of comics have learned about the medium and its readers rather than an instruction manual for graphica in the classroom, and tried to find the answers everyone else is in pursuit of

I’m glad they’re taking their time. We’ll wait 😊

It also features a roundtable conversation about the ongoing impact and importance of @rawreader.bsky.social’s seminal essay on Black fandom journal.transformativeworks.org/index.php/tw... with me, Faithe Day, @mediadataequity.bsky.social, @andrecarrington.bsky.social, and Sascha Buchanan.

I remember working in Waldenbooks when many of these novels started appearing on the shelves. Can’t wait to listen!

Looking forward to it! #MLA25

This book's premise is great: what if you could actually use all the warm fuzzy memories connected to the stuff you loved? Backflash gets at something the nostalgia attention ecosystem cannot. Go get this!

You can pre-order my new book (retails at $21.99) for 50% off using the code JHOL24 until December 31. April 2025 release! uscpress.com/Understandin... #OctaviaButler

Congratulations!!!!

50% off on books by @columbiaup.bsky.social !!! If comics/feminism/Jews interests you, here’s my 2016 monograph on sale… cup.columbia.edu/book/how-com...

I was not expecting Cross to be so good. Loved the dynamic between these two and the way DC shows up. The dinner party (ep5?) felt like a bizarre mistake but Alex’s roadtrip with his son more than made up for it… loved the whole family. Hoping we get a S2! #tvsky

So this is my first attempt at a starter pack. No theme here beyond just cool comics-related people. Creators, fans, historians, podcasters, etc... Lots of folks I admire & appreciate. Hopefully the first of several. go.bsky.app/KTBX5aR

Hope you'll enjoy listening! I had a lot of fun in this I terview, even though only a tiny bit made it into the final cut. #comics #childhood #history

I’m part of a Black Comics Club in Columbia, SC and this month we discussed the translation of Hugo Canuto’s stunning TALES OF THE ORISHAS from Brazil. The story is fairly standard but I wanted to frame every gorgeous page - highly recommend ✨

Same!

I've added a few more people! LMK if you regularly post about the history of comics in whatever way: go.bsky.app/GxMkaev

My newest work is a short hybrid comic-poem, BALLAD FOR BLACK CASSANDRA. It's a personal meditation on internalizing violence and the limits of saving people. You can buy the PDF via my itch & gumroad stores: oliveoilcorp.itch.io/ballad-for-b... oliveoilcorp.gumroad.com/l/ballad

Hello @qianawhitted.bsky.social thank you for following me. Your book is part of my research for my #StaticShock book. #bvm #Blackbooksky

Mix complete. #SEVERANCE S2 1 17 25

LAST DAY! Download Splinter and Fall into You and hundreds of other FREE BLACK BOOKS from today until Saturday! This is a multi-day event that centers Black authors and readers! Make sure to mark your calendars so you don't miss out! #BRAE2024 https://buff.ly/40Cdb0a

That canceled tv show you’ll never stop thinking about…

Finally made a #Blackademics starter pack! Let continue to build community here. This is part of #Blacksky so please show your appreciation to the architect, @rudyfraser.com

What an outstanding graphic novel. If you wanted to know about what Ali’s life meant - not just the events, but how they shaped him, this is a concise telling. Checks boxes for racial literacy, history, and comic books as an important storytelling medium. Recommended!

I'm really proud of MESSENGER: THE LEGEND OF MUHAMMAD ALI. I'm proud of the work I did on it. I'm incredibly proud of the amazing art @ronsalas created for it. It’s on sale in less than three weeks from First Second Books, available wherever you get things. And Michael Chabon likes it. Squee.

University feature on my new edited collection! https://www.sc.edu/uofsc/posts/2023/07/qiana_whitted.php
