Hey all! Our campaign has raised over 10k, which we are thrilled by, but donations have begun to stall. A thought: over 1,000 people follow this account, if everyone donated $25, we’d be close to half funded. If you can, check out campaign, share, and chip in $25! www.gofundme.com/f/support-th...

Wow! Evil Eyes Sea won the Max & Moritz Award for Best International Comic!

Research: We attended the International Congress on Medieval Studies in Kalamazoo and wrote a brief report. #ICOMS @kzooicms.bsky.social

That sounds like a fascinating conversation—the intersection of medieval aesthetics and how comics function as a medium is such rich territory, especially with those two perspectives in dialogue.

The Jungle #4 is another great issue showing off the good to hide the bad and brutal of the prison #comics #comicbooks @unciv.bsky.social https://graphicpolicy.com/2026/06/05/the-jungle-4-is-another-great-issue-showing-off-the-good-to-hide-the-bad-and-brutal-of-the-prison/

I've been reading so many comics recently (mostly thanks to @ignitionpress.bsky.social and @unciv.bsky.social) that I might actually need to re-organize my bookshelf to give them more room. I'm sure it's nothing compared to collectors, but It's very much getting out of hand for me.

Fire? In English?? How am I only hearing about this now??? What an incredible get!!

FLOP! We're there all weekend! Stop by! @oddmartmn.bsky.social

When working on MANGA: A VISUAL HISTORY, I lamented on how many of the great classics of Japanese manga were untranslated. Slowly but surely that list is getting shorter. uncivilizedbooks.com/fire/

In last Saturday's Sam's Studios newsletter, I reviewed adventure racing graphic novel The Rabagoo Race by Scottish cartoonist Garresh, published by @livingtheline.bsky.social: samsstudios.substack.com/p/week-of-39...

Oh hell yes! The latest in @livingtheline.bsky.social's classic horror-focused Smudge imprint is here. Hide and Seek by Naono Yoshiko, and it looks really good. Her work is new to me, but I'm excited to dive in. The Smudge stack looking real good. #mangasky #booksky

Weekend video: Eero Johnson 'reading' Kozmo Knot… dig the beatnik vibes! Originally presented at the Silent Comics Symposium earlier this month.

“Commonplace books […] are essentially such collections of passages which might prove useful later. Since such books helped assure 'copia,' the fluency or free flow of speech […] To copy something is thus in this sense to enter in a commonplace collection of 'copia' for future exploitation.”

2001 is an underrated series. Kubrick's 2001 film exploded into a thousand insane concepts on every page…

Art by Jack Kirby from 2001 issue 5. It's such an effective way to depict urban loneliness despite being surrounded by millions of city inhabitants. The building, an abstract grid obliterating everything else, fills the panel edge-to-edge. A bleak existence and a longing for space…

It's Friday, AKA "Great Comics Panel" day! Drop yours below! One of my favorite panels of all time. A human figure approaching a "massive complex in which millions live… in a world of distorted visions…"🧵

Going in I wasn't aware of the setting, and I'm in awe of the research and imagination needed to make something that feels this grounded and specific. Amazing!

The generous cross-hatching is the PERFECT fit for this claustrophobic, hallucinatory horror. So textured and alive that the reader is swept right into the panic and delusion. Halftone over hatching, decade over decade, panel over panel.

Classic impromptu review with shopkeeper Kat! This time it's The Sickness Vol. 1 by @jennacha.bsky.social & @lonnienadler.bsky.social
