I posted earlier about the upcoming Broadleaf Writers Conference, but there have been a few changes to my worldbuilding panel, so I’m using that excuse to post again and remind you writers out there that this is a really good, intimate conference with lots of great speakers.

What the—? The Macy’s parade hosts just said that the Spider-Man float is based on “John Romita Sr’s design”. This makes it seem that he designed Spider-Man, not Steve Ditko. Is this a maneuver by Disney to silence mention of Ditko in light of his heirs’ lawsuit?

1. What if ... Jack Kirby created Norman Podhoretz? Is it possible that the greatest of all comic book artists had, in the early 1940s, a visionary insight into the future career of the godfather of neo-conservatism? A strange but true tale of upward-mobility & class betrayal.

It's Steve Gerber's birthday! Every Gerber story I read was evidence that mainstream comics could be so much more than I’d ever imagined. That there was no creative door that couldn’t be kicked in, no creative wall that couldn’t be torn down. His voice is sorely missed.
