www.tcj.com/reviews/ligh... My latest for @comicsjournal.bsky.social, a review of Kazuichi Hanawa's LIGHT OF THE MOON, a collection of immaculate comics about stinky women.

I don't self promote much these days, because I'm exhausted a lot of the time and mostly just want to sit on the sofa making my girlfriend watch me replay various Resident Evil games, but I do a weekly round-up of comics news, reviews, features, etc at TCJ every Friday www.tcj.com/author/clark...

Clark! continuosly doing the lawd's work at @comicsjournal.bsky.social, a reliable and solid source for all things comics- related

RJ Casey's at the Comics Journal writing an article I wanted to do, reviewing the three recent comics, all good, from the folks that used to put together the Freak anthologies. I would've included Shaheen Beardsley's Oboy 8 too but RJ wrote about that one already, in October

Check out RJ Casey's review of FLEA by @forever4pm.bsky.social over at @comicsjournal.bsky.social --- www.tcj.com/arrivals-and...

This interview made me go "whoa" several times. 🔥🔥🔥 Haven't read Jeff Nicholson before. I am forever interested in - self publishing in the 80s, 90s, 00s - the black and white comics boom and bust - cartoonists with day jobs - cartoonists' philosophies around publishing, their decisions about it

Two weeks ago, for the NY Comics Symposium, comics creators R. Kikuo Johnson and Dash Shaw discussed the new book they both edited on Rea Irvin's strip, The Smythes, and today, @comicsjournal.bsky.social has published an excellent piece by Tammi Morton-Kelly on Irvin that you should check out!

I do step outside from time to time, but really, my primary beat at TCJ is talking to artists from the '90s. Talking to Jeff was a real joy. For two decades he worked a job where nobody knew he was secretly an acclaimed artist. Now he's back to reclaim his legacy. It's a great story!

my christmas present to myself has been sorted.

Amazing article on Rea Irvin and The Smythes by Tammi Morton-Kelly in @comicsjournal.bsky.social. "Each strip unfolds like a stage play: the setting minimal, the dialogue crisp, the humor restrained but precise."

This is a great piece.

My latest for @comicsjournal.bsky.social: A chat with Jeff Nicholson about his surprise return to Colonia, a book he abandoned (along with the comics industry!) over 20 years ago. It's a great chat with a seminal, but frequently overlooked creator, so give it a read. www.tcj.com/now-its-all-...

In 1987 John M. Ford asked "How Much for Just The Planet?" In 2025 some folks at Image Comics gave us an answer: I review FREE PLANET for @comicsjournal.bsky.social www.tcj.com/reviews/free...

@comicsjournal.bsky.social: Books With Pictures’ Katie Pryde on her store and comics retail: ‘I don’t think comics are going anywhere’ www.tcj.com/books-with-p...

Zach Rabiroff, as always, pulling back the curtain behind the people who make the comics-selling market tick. SO MUCH nitty-gritty behind-the-scenes info in this interview with Books With Pictures' Katie Pryde.

This aside jumped out at me: "Funny enough, on the DC side, this is my best era of selling them, full stop. I am literally selling more DC comics than I ever have."

Tribute to Dalton Webb, one of the truly lovable. www.tcj.com/dalton-webb-...

RIP Dalton Webb. Papercutter contributor and all around good guy.

New at @comicsjournal.bsky.social: A decade ago, Katie Pryde and her shop BOOKS WITH PICTURES began championing diversity in comics retail with the motto "Comics for Everyone." Now, she talks her near-miss with financial crisis, what she's learned, and what the future the holds.

As someone who spent many an hour huddled in the discount closet at the Fantagraphics store searching for old issues of TCJ, this is really cool. Thanks @teganoneil5000.bsky.social for spending the time reading/thinking/writing about SPECTRUM. 🦋
