Alan Moore in conversation with Douglas Rushkoff: www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Lkb...

I like to think that I've seen just about everything John M Burns had published so it's always a delight when someone surprises me with something I haven't seen. From Smash issue 150 cover date 14/12/68. Thanks to Robert Moubert.

Joel Meadows pocketed $22,500 from a Kickstarter campaign, claiming it was a self-payment for his "legitimate campaign work." The creator of the book, George Pratt, ended up with nothing. If you think that kind of behaviour should be rewarded, well... Joel's got another one on the boil right now.

"Remembering comics scholar John A. Lent, 1936-2026", by Bart Beaty www.tcj.com/remembering-...

Ahead of new episodes of comic creator Kev F. Sutherland’s Comic Cuts The Panel Show podcast, he’s released a never-before-heard gem from the archives: a 1982 interview… https://downthetubes.net/comic-cuts-podcast-releases-archive-alan-moore-interview/?utm_source=bluesky&utm_medium=jetpack_social

@tombrevoort.bsky.social It seems the links to your recent blog posts aren't being posted here.

Ted White, former editor of HEAVY METAL magazine, AMAZING STORIES, and FANTASTIC magazine passed away today, at the age of 88. He wrote the 1968 CAPTAIN AMERICA novel, THE GREAT GOLD STEAL. www.facebook.com/groups/corfl...

R.I.P. the late great William Franz. Will was terrific to work with when I wrote my long Foreword/essay for the collected LONELY WAR OF CAPT. WILLY SCHULTZ (completed by the late Drew Ford just before his death from COVID); having Will to answer questions, proof my ms. & offer insights was a treat

Aw dude

Original art for the presentation piece for "Hydroman" by Bill Everett, circa 1940. Apparently, it's currently owned by someone whose father worked as a model for Everett.

Comics scholar John Lent has sadly passed away. I last communicated with him just a month ago when I finally purchased a subscription to IJOCA. When I traveled to ICAF in 2016 to accept the award named after him he unfortunately couldn't make it to the conference, so I never got to meet him,

In the dark days of COVID, when Comic Studies Society was cancelled, John Lent reached out to the presenters to offer a space to publish - I had my Gail Simone Twitter article published there, and appreciated the faint ray of hope in that dire moment. He did what he could when we needed it most. RIP

I doubt there are many following me that buy CGC books, but if somebody is thinking about it, DON'T. I've had friends buy blue label books, crack them open and find the book is incomplete with missing pages. CGC then tells them because the book was cracked out of their slab, the warranty is voided.

My take: Kirby fully deserves a street named after him ALONE. Given his achievements in every area of comics making – writing, drawing, concept invention, etc. - he does not need to be associated with any employers and partners, especially those who treated him unfairly.

Excited to announce that Strange Hybrids is out this fall--my new book about the genre turn and the growing overlap between science fiction and literary fiction. Focusing on novels by Francis Spufford, Kim Stanley Robinson, Richard Powers, Jennifer Egan, Colson Whitehead, and more.

Frank Stack was a cartoonist, fine artist, educator, & one of the founding figures of underground comics. He passed away recently, and to honor his memory @comicsjournal.bsky.social has made available an interview that @gtlabsrat.bsky.social & I did with him a while back. www.tcj.com/the-comics-j...

Barrie Tomlinson, RIP

Some of these issues are quite fun. Peter Gillis seemed to be the only writer in mainstream comics who was aware at that time of the then-current cyberpunk science fiction subgenre.

The number is even higher: 390,625 copies published annually, according to this GCD scan. But out of these, 187,512 on average were not sold.

Well… more kickstarter shenanigans…

At @io9.com, I spoke with Rick Veitch, Tom Mandrake, Vince Locke, and more for an oral history of the most heretical DC comic of all time, now rising from its tomb after 40 years.

RIP Frank Stack, aka Foolbert Sturgeon

Pleased to note that the way I shelf my books isn't that different from the way Alan Moore does it.

I'd forgotten that when Dave Stevens decided to collect all his ROCKETEER stories in 1985, he had Jaime Hernandez help him with layouts and/or pencils for some of the new pages drawn for that edition.

(Thinking about the creation of Image Comics back in 1992) "What if all the variant covers left today, and started their own company?"

As I mentioned yesterday, the reason I initially purchased the Best of Eagle Monthly was I discovered there was a dinosaur story by John Wagner, Alan Grant and Jim Baikie that I hadn’t previously seen. It does remind me a little of Bissette’s Tyrant comic. Here is the first episode of Bloodfang.
