Nice lil writeup from @fourcolorryan.bsky.social on a comic I did some pinup art for. Go check it out if you like nudity and gratuitous violence; if you don't I have to question how you found your way here to begin with. #comix #altcomix #undergroundcomix

Tuesday's NY Comics Symposium with comics creator Frédéric Coché (L’homme armée, Hortus Sanitatis) was a revelation! Kudos to Austin for his questioning and to Frédéric for his thoughts. The attendees also added a lot to this conversation. #altcomics #FrédéricCoché youtube.com/watch?v=tWyd...

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...

I wrote about that comic here: www.tcj.com/funny-book-r...

RIP Frank Stack, who worked on my favorite one shot comic ever, ‘American Splendor: Transatlantic Comics.’ THE best, in my opinion, American Splendor artist.

That being said, there are actually some really good and very deserving Ignatz nominees this year, too, particularly in the "Outstanding Collection" and "Outstanding Minicomic" categories, and not as much thematically-and-aesthetically-interchangeable Silver Sprocket stuff nominated as in years past

According to The Beat, "comparatively more mainstream publishers drew the eye" of Ignatz judges this year, given that Dark Horse and Distillery both got nominations. Guess they haven't noticed that they've been nominating crap from Dark Horse, Image, and Boom Studio for years now.
