Dear Beloved Stranger by Dino Pai
Everyone has one book in them, they say. Usually the "how I got here" story - whatever was unique or special or striking about childhood or life in general. I don't think that's dismissive; I like to think of it as celebratory: everyone can make at least one work of art, if they put in the time and effort and have the drive.

The Disappearance of Charley Butters by Zach Worton
Charley Butters is probably dead. He was a painter in his mid-life during the later 1950s, so by the time of this 2015 graphic novel - set, as far as I can tell, basically contemporaneously - he would have been at least in his eighties. But there are two more books in this series, so I suppose he may show up as a centenarian eventually.

Most lives don't have a specific story. People do things, they live and die, and it doesn't form any particular shape.

MegalopolisBy Francis Ford Coppola, Chris Ryall, & Jacob Phillips160 pages/Abrams ComicArts/$25.99 While curious, I did not go to see Francis Ford Coppola’s Megalopolis. I had read about the trouble shoot, the confused critics, and the box office doldrums, and never got around to it on streaming. Thankfully, Abrams ComicArts has provided us with a graphic novel adaptation, which apparently isn’t slavish to the screenplay.

REVIEW: The Essential Peanuts
The Essential PeanutsBy Mark Evanier336 pages/Abrams ComicArts/$75 I was growing up during Peanuts' peak period, the 1960s-70s, and you couldn’t go anywhere without seeing images of the gang. Yes, I bought some of the Fawcett paperback collections from the Bookmobile and was thrilled that Apollo 10’s command capsule and lunar module were named Charlie Brown and Snoopy. I was also overwhelmed by the ubiquitousness of Snoopy, who easily eclipsed the humans and was on t-shirts, a Thanksgiving Day parade balloon, lunch boxes, and so, so much more.

Art Baltazar and Franco have been making a very particular kind of comics for twenty years or so - kid-friendly versions of popular superhero and superhero-adjacent properties, bright and happy and light-hearted, colorful and zippy, full of rubber-hose cartooning and vibrant colors, with usually a cluster of short related stories with minimal plots but a lot of (mostly goofy) character work.

Betty Blues by Renaud Dillies
I have two ways I could start with today's book, neither of which has much to do with the book itself. I could mention I read another graphic novel by Renaud Dillies a decade ago, Bubbles & Gondola, and only vaguely remembered it when I saw a thumbnail image of the B&G cover at the back of this book. Or I could point out that the title is not the same as a certain smutty French movie from the 1980s, and reminisce that I saw that movie at college, and that the first line of the movie provoked one of the best, rippling, unexpected crowd laughs I've ever experienced.

Usagi Yojimbo, Book 8: Shades of Death by Stan Sakai
This one was a professional transition - it collects the first six issues (plus stories from issues seven and eight) of the second series of Usagi Yojimbo, from Mirage - but, within the story, there's no indication of that. Creator Stan Sakai didn't reboot the series, drop into long explanatory flashback stories for the relaunch, or even make much of an apparent effort to attract any new readers.

Yeah! by Peter Bagge and Gilbert Hernandez
I never want to discourage creators from stretching, from trying new things and talking to new audiences. But, sometimes, it just doesn't really click. In the late '90s, Peter Bagge had been making sarcastic comics about grumpy twenty-something slackers in Hate for more than a decade; his work was really closely associated with not just a particular adult audience, but a very specific tone and style.

For some reason, I thought this book was in comics format - maybe just from an assumption that's how Lemire works, or that he draws so quickly that it would nearly as easy to do it that way as in text.

Groo looks quick and breezy, but it's a wordy comic, and creator Sergio Aragones, for all his speed and facility, draws a lot of detail.

Wednesday Comics edited by Mark Chiarello
As I write this, the reruns of Richard Thompson's great Cul de Sac daily comic on GoComics have hit the summer camp sequence of 2010, introducing Andre Chang, a boy who wants to draw comics and is bigger and louder - especially in his comics - than anyone else. Andre is lovable and amusing, because he's a child with a child's enthusiasms, and we assume he will grow out of it, at least somewhat, and temper that enthusiasm with other qualities.

When a creator you like turns to creating works for younger readers, you have two choices: follow him along, and check out the new stuff, trying to have an open mind, or to avoid the new stuff and grump about how creators should keep doing the things you discovered them for, grumble grumble. ORÂ - and this is what I seem to do most of the time - you could not even notice the creator has material in a different genre for about a decade, and then stumble on it randomly when the "new thing" has a fifth book published, and wonder where the time has gone, alas, where are the green fields of our youth?

Happy Letterer Appreciation Day 2025!
Today is Letterer Appreciation Day, chosen because it’s the birthday of Gaspar Saladino, one of the greatest comics letterers of all time. Letterers are the modern descendants of medieval scribes, illuminating manuscripts, doing a job that when done well is mostly unnoticed and certainly underappreciated. From the bold, dynamic lettering to elegant, intricate scripts, letterers craft the visual voice of countless mediums and make comics work.

Comics are about sex less often than most artforms. Call it a lingering prudishness, the hangover from long decades seen as a medium just for kids, or just the fact that drawn sex is inherently a bit more fleshy than the written kind. But it's true: comics avoid sex a lot of the time, and often only wink when they come close to that territory.

(At the time, I was much more enthusiastic about the Blueberry stories, a long Western series drawn by Mœbius and written by Jean-Michel Charlier.)

Who Is AC? by Hope Larson & Tintin Pantoja If this were a TV show, it would be a pilot that didn't get picked up: it obviously aimed to start a series, and, a decade later, it didn't. There are a lot of plot points, themes, and ideas that aren't completely explained or fleshed out here - but of…

Who Is AC? by Hope Larson & Tintin Pantoja
If this were a TV show, it would be a pilot that didn't get picked up: it obviously aimed to start a series, and, a decade later, it didn't. There are a lot of plot points, themes, and ideas that aren't completely explained or fleshed out here - but of course there would be, if it were going to be a series.

Daredevil by Frank Miller and Klaus Janson, Vol. 1 I've been known to bemoan the fact that the caption was basically wiped out of mainstream US comics in an extinction event roughly congruent with the big '90s crash. I'll admit that captions may have made a comeback since, like tiny mammals after…

Daredevil by Frank Miller and Klaus Janson, Vol. 1
I've been known to bemoan the fact that the caption was basically wiped out of mainstream US comics in an extinction event roughly congruent with the big '90s crash. I'll admit that captions may have made a comeback since, like tiny mammals after the Chicxulub impact, but I read mainstream comics only rarely these days, so I don't really know either way.

Last Kiss: Sex Day by John Lustig I try not to be a gatekeeper. I have standards and expectations - and, like everyone else, some tropes and styles and story-structures I like better than others. But I like to think I can take the how and what as it comes. So I haven't mentioned the syndicated…

Last Kiss: Sex Day by John Lustig
I try not to be a gatekeeper. I have standards and expectations - and, like everyone else, some tropes and styles and story-structures I like better than others. But I like to think I can take the how and what as it comes. So I haven't mentioned the syndicated comic "strip" Last Kiss here before, as far as I can tell.

REVIEW: Avatar Legends: City of Echoes
Avatar Legends: City of EchoesBy Judy L. Lin320 pages/Amulet Books/$21.99 I know this much about The Last Airbender and The Legend of Korra, so I approached this first novel in what is being billed as the Avatar: Legends series. Is the title intended to be about stories set in and around the Avatar series, or is the legend in question the protagonist in this Young Adult novel?

Usagi Yojimbo, Book 7: Gen’s Story by Stan Sakai
This one collects seven more issues of the early Usagi Yojimbo comic, plus a story from Critters, though the dates in the book are a little confusing. The book itself claims a first edition in September 1991, but says the stories included are copyright no earlier than 1992. Now, Stan Sakai is a fantastic creator, but I do think he's bound by linear time, so issues 32-38 of Usagi, which were published from February 1992 through March of 1993, could not be collected in late 1991.

Anna by Mia Oberländer
Books that are obvious metaphors can be tricky. Especially if you're not quite sure exactly what they're a metaphor for. I think Anna is Mia Oberländer's first major graphic novel - it says it was created as part of her thesis in illustration at the Hamburg University of Applied Sciences - so I don't have any prior work to check, to see what her usual method of working is.
