For @comicsjournal.bsky.social, I wrote about the long career of comics writer Peter David, who died this past May, and tried to understand what legacy he'll leave behind. www.tcj.com/the-professi...

I've got a review up at TCJ today of a new comic from @connormakescomics.bsky.social and @strangers.bsky.social that doubles as a look back at the history and legacy of another publisher entirely

Brief, sharp, true.

It's a good interview with Ilan at @comicsjournal.bsky.social- and I find personally interesting all the cartoonists he mentions as his favourite are also favourite of mine (or reading them was important for me). I wonder who his favourite women cartoonists are- I think I could guess but who knows.

Quoting Paul Gravett: "It seems apt that a week ago today, on the same day as our conference [ #ComicsAndAI ], Ilan Manouach was interviewed on @comicsjournal.bsky.social: www.tcj.com/comics-peopl... "

A real privilege to be interviewed by Ian Thomas for @comicsjournal.bsky.social. Such incisive, probing questions: Ian got me thinking about comics and how I approach the medium in ways I hadn't before.

From Joe Sacco's two-page comic on #Palestine, #Israel and #genocide. Available to view at The Comics Journal: www.tcj.com/the-angel-la...

I wish the world was such that in this post I could just dwell on how important Joe Sacco is to both comics and journalism instead of the reality that requires us to respond to the crimes against humanity that he refuses to look away from and to let go undocumented. #JoeSacco #Gaza #Palestine #tcj

If you're looking for interviews with Pollack I recommend this one from The Comics Journal www.tcj.com/one-of-the-t...

Joe Sacco's comic on @comicsjournal.bsky.social: The Angel Laughs. I cannot imagine what it's like to be a journalist and cartoonist who has covered Palestine for decades. www.tcj.com/the-angel-la...

New interview in @comicsjournal.bsky.social! Really loved having this conversation with Ian Thomas, which was challenging in all the best ways. And it's amazing to be featured in the The Comics Journal, which I've been reading since I was a teenager. www.tcj.com/comics-are-t...

Shocked and saddened to hear that Matt Haasch, founder of indie manga publishing company @starfruitbooks.bsky.social has passed away. His gofundme campaign for his medical and other expenses is still up - contribute if you can. www.gofundme.com/f/donate-to-...

I am so happy to live in an era when women's manga from the 1980s can be published in English. It's a window onto a wider world. Daniel Meyerowitz in #TCJ on Alexa Franks' "sparkling translation" of Fumiko Takano's 'Miss Ruki.' More, please! www.tcj.com/fifty-eight-...

I'm back! Back in a @comicsjournal.bsky.social groove! This time out, it's a review of Erik Kriek's latest, THE PIT - which forms a triptych with his other recent work. Terrific art, lots of mood, recommended to quiet horror fans. Read about it!

In comics today, few names spark as much debate and emotion as Ilan Manouach. I've interviewed him for the @comicsjournal.bsky.social www.tcj.com/comics-peopl...

New review up at TCJ from me, one that writing made me think about how often criticism features amateur anthropology of the points of minor distinction between subcultures. Book under discussion published by @glacierbaybooks.com

The Comics Journal lists BLACK FLAME as one of the summer's best beach reads, which is very funny to me because it's about being sexually repressed in the winter in 1980s New York. tcj.com/beloved-beac...

HEY: here’s Clark Burscough with this week’s links www.tcj.com/after-summer...

Happy Labor Day from TCJ: here’s a blog post of beach reads, see you back at the office on Tuesday! www.tcj.com/beloved-beac...

Today on TCJ I go on a deep-dive into 2000AD’s NIGHT ZERO by Brosnan and Hopgood and THE CABBIE by Martí — two comics that have nothing in common other than they’re from the late ‘80s–early ‘90s and they’re about taxi drivers. The meter’s runnin’, get in:
