I write primarily for the monastic scribes of the feudal society that will emerge from America’s blasted ruins. They deserve to know about Batman too

I love Bisley’s Doom Patrol covers

Had the thought that with Booster Gold so tied in with Blue Beetle, he's kind of an honourary Charlton character - and started imagining a Steve Ditko-ized version of him.

Multiple but Comic heroes: The Question, Captain Atom, Moon Knight, Blue Beetle, The Spirit, Booster Gold, Doctor Fate Pulp heroes: The Shadow, Doc Savage, The Spider, G-8, Operator 5, The Avenger

Comics-wise, I’m happy to have a bunch of big collections for read/rereading. 80’s runs of The Question, JLI, Doom Patrol, Doctor Fate etc I also have some non-big two comics I’m excited to get to like A Contract With God, Do a Power Bomb, The One Hand & The Six Fingers, and stuff like that

ACTION COMICS #1, 1938

Just finished Tarzan the Terrible: a book that ends with Tarzan’s son sniping all the villains with less than ten pages to spare. And I’m starting The Destroyer: Lords of the Earth. My first Remo Williams novel about an evil billionaire with a mutant bug army. Both are right up my alley.

The opening splash pages of this series are so good

I wish a happy new year to you all. I’ll try to post more here in 2026. To summarize my year in reading: Dune Messiah rules Pride and Prejudice rules Frankenstein rules Moby Dick rules Valis rules Pulps and comics also rule

Watching the original Godzilla for the first time and it’s so clear in every scene how directly this inspired Jaws

I’ve started a proper read-through of Kirby’s Fourth World, starting with Jimmy Olsen and Forever People. It’s so visually spectacular and inventive that it kind of pisses me off. Most New Gods stuff by other people seem bland and boring in comparison.

One of my favorite comic panels of all time

This is the page that made me start liking Captain Atom

"But there might be a Who Christ! I would like to see him be pierced by a spear and whipped by Who centurions." -How the Grinch Stole Christmas

An ideal mode of travel

Loving this guy

People are asking, so let me explain the "67" meme. You see: if cows had tools, they would not be very good tools...

Just rewatched this with my partner. Unrelated note: we don’t plan to have kids.

I searched the word “Tarzan” on this site. The results would get a chuckle out of Philip José Farmer.

Currently on this. A lot of pulp/pulp adjacent stories feel like video game plots. This one especially.

From reading more prose these past few years, I’ve found the “comics can do what regular books can’t” point also works in reverse. From Hell can’t work as good in prose form. Valis can’t possibly work as well with art panel by panel.

Being exposed to the majesty and whimsy of Golden Age Wonder Woman is one of the many reasons I’m enjoying the DC Finest trades

Golden Age Superman villains are something else

The good shit

Perfect reading for being too sick to go to work tomorrow
