In two weeks I’ll be part of a panel at #AnimeNYC spotlighting educators who use manga in the classroom. This is my first time doing a panel on this topic, so I’m excited to share what I’ve been doing with my students for the last few years in my classes!

The Bluey Surfer

Artist Joe Shuster was born on July 10, 1914. Co-creator of Superman, as well as Lois Lane, Lex Luthor, Doctor Occult, Slam Bradley, & more! I'm posting early because given the film release, Joe deserves to be honored a lot this year. #Superman

Do or Die July. Please share. Please stop in.

Today is the 93rd birthday of Angelo Torres, born April 14, 1932. The last surviving artist to do work for EC Comics, he is probably best known for his several decades with Mad magazine.

Shoutout to Dustin Nguyen for speaking his piece on how he feels about Marvel. This is how they treat some of their top talent. America overall has a problem not respecting the arts as a longterm career securement.

Cartoonist Jackie Ormes (Aug. 1, 1911- Dec. 26, 1985), the first Black woman to create a newspaper comic strip that was nationally syndicated. She created Torchy Brown in Dixie to Harlem, Torchy in Heartbeats & Patty-Jo ‘n’ Ginger (Patty Jo became a toy doll). #BlackHistoryMonth

Today is the birthday of writer, producer, and editor Dwayne McDuffie (Feb. 20, 1962-Feb. 21, 2011).

Goodnight, dear friends. On a day when our government continues to try to erase the existence of transgender folks, be encouraged to keep up the fight, keep up the love. Power to the people. I love you.

Mothra vs Godzilla モスラ対ゴジラ 1964, dir. Ishirō Honda, sfx. Eiji Tsuburaya Humanity must beseech the aide of the insect-goddess Mothra to stop Godzilla's latest rampage across Japan.

People say to me: "What inspired you to create this comic?" and I say, "I CANNOT talk about it without crying." @ericxyz.bsky.social assortedcrisisevents.com

Fuck it. Trans folks need MATERIAL SUPPORT. @distributeaid.org is launching an HRT Harm Reduction Toolkit that provides 1 year of medical supplies needed to take injection-based HRT. We were planning to go live in January, but I'm not waiting. Fund the kits here: distributeaid.org/hrt-harm-red...

Hello, all. In a time where everything is so much for so many people, I feel guilty asking but my family and I are in need of help. Even if it is a signal boost, any help is appreciated. I love you all, and I hope you are all safe. gofund.me/980022e5

Comics community, I know there's A LOT going on right now, but I just heard that Vita Ayala had a fire in their apartment when a building burnt down next door. Sounds like they and their family are OK, but if you've got any ability to help out, Vita is good people. gofund.me/be26c49f

Did you know that Lucasfilm’s Double Victory is streaming for free on YouTube? Always a worthwhile watch. youtu.be/QmcpILi1Rxc?...

Wonder Woman, issue 3

Besides the Kirby 4th World Series (which are must reads of course) my personal favs are the Walt Simonson Orion series, the Tom Peyer/Rachel Pollack New Gods & the recently released YA graphic novels Mr. Miracle: The Great Escape by Varian Johnson/Daniel Isles & Barda by Ngozi Ukazu are excellent.

All right let’s jump into the wonderful New Gods #2 by Ram V, Evan Cagle, Jesse Lonergan, Francesco Segala, & Tom Napolitano. I need this book to run 100+ issues

Look, being a new parent is tough, but when Toho Studios validates your parenting choices of introducing your toddler to Godzilla by including you in their 70th Anniversary video? It makes it all feel worth it. www.youtube.com/watch?v=rv9K...

This week’s Comics Curriculum looks at a lesson I did with my students on taking a comic from script to page. Take a look! #comics #education youtu.be/FpZNzFac1A4?...

To whom it may concern,

This was only about a year ago but the shop looks so different!! If you are all on YouTube, definitely make sure to check out our livestream Tomorrow, when we show off this week's bargains and tell you how to order.

Check out my profile on the amazing comic shop @escapepodcomics.bsky.social ! They’re doing a huge sale this month to help keep their doors open, so support them however you can!! #comics #comicbooks #manga #comicshops youtu.be/xcovhGCaaFY?...

Had a very delightful (but also very serious) conversation with @davidharper.bsky.social that will be up on SKTCHD this week. I think, after his editing, it really lays out the current issues we face & the aims of our huge Nov. clearance sale. Oh, And announce our Thanksgiving weekend super bargain.

Give the Keeg a follow and check out their podcasts! (You might just hear from yours truly if you do)

Here’s a thread photos I took that were salvaged from the bad website of a cool #Batman art gallery at Society of Illustrators from a few years back. 1/4

Holy moley, this Javier Pulido #Shazam cover

Anyone else wake up to dozens of new followers? Anyway, hi! We're a comic shop on Long Island. Doing a massive clearance sale all November to see if we can secure the funds and empty the shelves enough for a complete rearrange in 2025. Each week new sections go on sale. This week: single issues!

I've put up 4 episodes of The Comics Curriculum so far, but wanted to share my favorite one here: Here's my list of 4 books for educators who want to use comics in the classroom. www.youtube.com/watch?v=m1ns...
