I’ve never much been interested in categorizing, critics can waste time on that. But I’m now totally convinced that The Return is a movie. The way the audience engaged with it felt exactly right and changed the experience.

from chandra manning's wonderful book "what this cruel war was over"

much easier to understand the sheer bloody intensity of the civil war when you have a good grasp on just how terrible slavery was.

YouTube just tried to show me a video of a guy saying he read the worst comic ever made and he’s holding up one of the Goody Rickels issues of Kirby’s Jimmy Olsen Buddy, you could have just said you have no idea what you’re talking about and saved everyone a lot of time

I started seriously thinking about a Batman/Green Arrow/Question book a decade ago after drawing this commission. First issue of my Black Label book ARCADIA featuring the three of them is out in November.

New interview! The folks at TASQ Art and I talk about Steve Ditko, which I'm sure surprises you. It's a great conversation, and I hope you check it out. Coming up, there are two more interviews in this series with Mark Ditko and Jack C. Harris #ditko #comics youtu.be/9KCTaXH1CEw?...

I obtained a grail object today from Mark Borchardt. “It’s all right! It’s okay! There’s something to live for!”

Bullying works.

Look at what happens to male teacher salaries (blue line) v.s. female teacher salaries (red line) after collective bargaining laws expire.

Brand new preview for DITKO--my upcoming documentary on Steve Ditko! It features the classic weird fiction story "A World of His Own" by Ditko & Jack Oleck, an excellent early example of how Ditko presented his ideas through a distinct visual-narrative style. #ditko #comics youtu.be/MvsU2mHEu6g

The discussion about original art being stolen from Marvel has continued for decades. Here’s something to further the discussion, peppered w/ things like photographic evidence, notable statements, and names on guest lists at events where stolen artwork appeared: fourcolorsinners.com/2024/08/03/a...

The End.

'Vacations.' The word is 'vacations.'

There. I did the thing. Also, the fact that Conner O’Malley & Danny Scharar’s RAP WORLD was not available as a selection further proves that everyone can, should, and must now reject The New York Times as a legitimate news source.

1. A terrific piece that helps advance a longstanding question about Stan Lee's alleged authorship (or non-authorship) of 1960s Marvel comics. This deeply researched article -- which also serves as a profile of a fascinating writer -- has found some evidence that is major addition to this debate.
