I mean a Black woman playing Helen is kinda unprecedented... Oh, wait, forgot Orson Welles cast Eartha Kitt as Helen

Thanks for the reception of Free Comic Book Day yesterday. I went out to many of my local stories and libraries to support them, which I'll be posting my haul later today.

Spent a fun couple of hours sketching in copies of Heartbreaker, the Kickstarter book of my earliest work in girls comics from the 1980s. I’ll have a few comp copies for sale in a few months.

"From out there on the moon, international politics look so petty. You want to grab a politician by the scruff of the neck and drag him a quarter of a million miles out and say, ‘Look at that, you son of a bitch." ― Edgar Mitchell

Ok I have seen a GOOD APRIL FOOLS JOKE in the wild. My kids comic (Phoenix - home if @jamiesmart.bsky.social) comes in an envelope every week, we open it, had a fake cover for a soup review mag like we’d been sent the wrong thing. Genius!

Alice Augusta Ball found the cure for leprosy at 23. She died in a mysterious lab accident at 24. Arthur Dean stole her research, stole it and renamed it from "The Ball Method" to "The Dean Method." It took 90 years before her original research papers were found and she got the credit due to her.

"Are you going out on the wily, windy moors" I asked, as she headed out into the storm to commence filming for a friends project. "No" she replied. "Clapham."

Even if swinging, big band backed Hammond organ grooves are not your bag, you probably want this just for the cover? #JimmySmith #HammondB3

Never underestimate the power of a positive supportive post/comment you make to an artist. Sometimes it’s the only thing that keeps them going.

It's easy to draw women as sexually attractive but I often think capturing femininity has far more of a magical charm to it. I don't claim to be that talented at it but I never get tired of trying! #art #womeninart #femininity

Anyways.

Another inspiring true life heroine story published in GIRL in 1959, this time Marie Carie and her discovery of Radium. Worth pointing out these stories weren't just a 4-6 page tributes, most ran for around 20 pages covering childhood to final days. #Girl #BritishComics #MarieCurie

Wonderful color artist Tatjana Wood died 3 days shy of her 100th birthday… her work within the limited palette of four-color comics was always impressive and added mood. Important to remember as modern comics reprinting often relegates original coloring to the dustbin of history.

Nice AI-image-generating tool, but it will never be as great an artist as Onfim, a child who lived in the Novgorod Republic in the mid-1200s and who scribbled these drawings and schoolwork writings on birch bark at the age of 6 or 7.

Girl cover from 1961 by Philip Townsend. I've noticed in both Eagle and Girl that the artists would sometimes leave the backgrounds free from black line work on the colour pages which creates more depth and an almost 3D effect to the main subject. #Girl #BritishComics #ComicArt #PhilipTownsend

I'm sharing more Leslie Otway today and this is a page from Belle and Mamie published in Princess Magazine in 1965. I've seen a lot of impressive comic art over the years but something about Otway's ability to portray people touches me in a way few illustrators ever have. Would you like more?
