Happy Willy Wonka Experience Anniversary to all who are celebrating.

Marvel’s *other* Nightcrawler, who was also blue and also had a tail.

Ed Hannigan really could use some kind of retrospective art book. This 2010 tribute is great, but I would love to see a more comprehensive (and maybe oversized?) collection of his cover work.

Lots of rampant speculation in comics lately, new 1st issues selling out & going for wild money online due to weird market manipulation & mass FOMO. Did we learn nothing from the industry crash of the 90s? My comic THE MAKERS lays out my feelings on this stuff (it’s also a cosmic adventure story).

THE PITT and STAR TREK are frequent topics of conversation in our household, hence this mashup I did for Hillary’s Valentine’s Day card this year.

Medusa of the Inhumans. The first few comics I ever read featuring this character had her fighting Spider-Man, so as a kid I thought she was a Spidey villain.

At this rate, the first issue of this comic should be ready to go on sale around, oh, 2029 or so. I gotta pick up the pace! #makemorecomics

I started watching this MATT HELM box set last night, a lot of which has aged pretty poorly…but nothing has aged worse than the name of the agency he works for.

Always dug the original design for Captain Mar-Vell, just real classic spaceman vibes.

A random issue of NOVA just might get you Carmine Infantino inked by Steve Leialoha, a bunch of crazy punches & poses, and an unexplained Sherlock Holmes robot at the dinner table.

Neither GREMLINS movie has had a comics adaptation. Had it happened, in either case, who should have produced it , and why? Feel free to make your case—cite precedent, provide evidence, etc.

Some great Marvel house ads in my comics reading this morning.

Another satisfied customer!

I’m rewatching POINT BLANK and I remembered that when I was in high school I knew some guys who had a band called Point Blank, and I knew some other guys who wanted to start a competing band called Buoyant Plank.

Just ran into one of these in the wild, better safely dispose of it before anyone gets hurt.

DC UNIVERSE: LEGACY issue 8 from 2011 has an 8-page backup New Gods story drawn by Frank Quitely…not nearly enough pages for me, but I’ll take it. That reveal of Orion’s true face at the end is delightfully gruesome.

Another find in my collection this morning—a favorite issue from my childhood, signed by artist Marshall Rogers at a Toronto show in 2003. The Calculator is one goofy bastard, but I’ll always have a soft spot for him because of this issue.

I was sorting my zines this AM and I found this gem—early work from @jesselonergan.bsky.social! I would have picked this up at Maine Comic Arts Fest in 2012, I believe, not knowing that I was meeting a future favourite creator of mine.

My variant cover for SLEEP #8 by Zander Cannon is out on February 18! So proud to work with him again. And like all good people in the Twin Cities, Zander is protecting his neighbors from ICE kidnapping patrols. Full interview at The Comics Beat: www.comicsbeat.com/interview-ca...

When you kick a pirate in the crotch

I have a group chat with some friends and sometimes it devolves into us just making up titles for nonexistent Star Trek TOS episodes. We should be documenting it more because we’ve come up with some good ones, but sadly I just have these notes in my phone to show for it.

Whoa, did Matt Fraction & Jorge Jimenez’s latest BATMAN issue just reference that notorious John Byrne ACTION COMICS two-parter where Barda was brainwashed into, ahem, creating adult content?

I can always count on @wordburglar.bsky.social to come through with a hilarious birthday gift, like this t-shirt devoted to Wendell Vaughn, AKA Quasar (not to mention a new two-sided tote bag and the WORDBURGLAR RHYMES WITH COMICS album on both CD and cassette).

Cloak & Dagger, created by Bill Mantlo and Ed Hannigan.

Having my artwork appear on a cassette tape is definitely a new one for me, but stuff like that is par for the course when you collaborate with @wordburglar.bsky.social.

Four Sal Buscema comics that mean the world to me. The CAPTAIN AMERICA & THE FALCON and AVENGERS issues especially were *huge* for me when I was a kid.

Flying saucers over Hollywood!

Johnny Smith, a man who could see the future.

Oh, like *you’ve* never been seized by a sudden, uncontrollable urge to draw the Mud Pack. (Salute to the great Norm Breyfogle, RIP)

Hey @globalnews.ca, this is an irresponsible and dangerous headline choice. Have you watched the video? If so, why would you platform a quote containing clear disinformation, without context? Fix it.

Mailing out some comics & bonus goodies today (a Doomscrolling sticker, a Bob the Goon minicomic)! Check the link in my bio or DM me if you want some. #makemorecomics

Beast Man.

New bootleg comic coming in 2026, THE SOLDIER AND THE SCOURGE.

David Lynch would have been 80 today.

Firestorm the Nuclear Man, created by Gerry Conway and Al Milgrom.

Rewatched the TWIN PEAKS pilot last night, I always forget about this guy.

I got pretty far into this sketch of the Rhino before I realized all of my gray markers are toast, so I had to improvise.

Today marks the 60th anniversary of the Adam West-Burt Ward BATMAN. This show is one of the all time great comic book adaptations, no notes from this guy. Here’s my take from a few years back.

Back to work tomorrow, but I’ve gotten a done on two separate comics projects over the past week. Here’s a taste. #makemorecomics

Hopefully the success of Mark Waid & Chris Samnee’s BATMAN & ROBIN: YEAR ONE series prompts Marvel to put their DAREDEVIL run back in print soon. Those Javier Rodriguez colours are the cherry on top.

Page 9 pencils for a new original series that’ll hopefully be on sale in 2026. I really loved drawing these creepy new villains.

When I feel like drawing but I don’t know where to start, my brain usually defaults to Kirby’s New Gods characters.

Coming in 2026, a new bootleg comic based on an old favourite of mine that turns 40 this year. Stay tuned. #makemorecomics

New shirt for work today, a gift from my buddy Zorab.

RIP to the great Isiah Whitlock Jr. He was in Halifax in 2016 filming the TV series THE MIST, and he stopped by @strangeadventures.bsky.social because he had heard we carried his bobble heads! #sheeeeeeeeeit

Bootleg Scourge Saga comic in 2026 maybe?

Time again for DAVE’S FAVES 2025: a list of my favourite comics that came out in 2025, in no particular order.
