On this week's @fullmanga.bsky.social, our podcast on Hitoshi Iwaaki's series PARASYTE, @patokon.bsky.social mentioned guitarist Roy Clark, and how amazing his playing was. Here's a good example!

THE BAT-APE! Join us on our Patreon for $4/month to hear Tim and @patokon.bsky.social 's discussion of BATMAN #114 (March 1958), when the Dynamic Duo went ape! www.patreon.com/c/deconcomics

“Here let me chop off all the ropes and moorings with my hatchet so you can hug us better.”

Pretty happy with this and basically all the stuff I’ve made like this that initially came to me in a dream. The dream goblins have been generous to me this year. I’ve never seen the 90s cartoon, but knew the 80s comic as it was a parody of Frank Miller’s Daredevil #tmnt #printmaking #art

My newest creation. HissCat. #printmaking #cat

In the midst of enjoying the Female Prisoner Scorpion series with KAJI Meiko, I decided to check out Mermaid Legend (1984) also based on a gekiga comic. What a climax! Man, I thought Battle Royale was ultra-violent… ★ ★ ★ ★ ☆(actually 4.5)

I like the almost Basil Gogol style of art & lighting shown in the illustration.

Another manga exhibition video for those who are interested. This time it's MIZUKI Shigeru creator of Gegege no Kitaro. #manga #vintagemanga #raremanga #horrormanga youtu.be/5RT98j5caHc

He was also into Peach.

Watching Lost World: JP2 and wondering when Universal is going to finally release these fine flicks. King Lear w/ Arnold, Robin Williams in Jack and the Beanstalks, and Tsunami Sunrise with Tom Hanks

I was bad at Tweetering, but had my accounts algos working okay until the muskrat effed it all up. I’m still bad at bskying in that I can’t quite get it to be as useful or fun as I’d like. If anyone happens to know some awesome accounts or lists I should follow here and put into a list lemme know.

At first glance, I thought, “Why are Norman and Lamb fighting over a gothic fantasy collection?”

Of course, this issue featured #Parasyte chapter 13, "Absent Tears", which we discussed on the latest episode of our show.

My newest piece. The one-horned oni, The Onicorn. #art #illustration #oni #yokai #tshirt

“Superman is too woke!” Literally the first page of the first ever appearance of Superman:

I'm having a blast talking about one of my favorite #manga of all time, #PARASYTE with Tim Young (@deconcomics.bsky.social)

This is why there are so many smart phones with cracked screens.

One of my favorite series to come out in the last two decades. I used to read chapters of it out loud in Japanese to my daughter's fifth grade class. Quick Q for you @evandorkin.bsky.social , what's one of your favorite comic book sound effects?

Steve Jackson Games posted this to their blog and the post is getting so many hits their site is effectively crashed but the point is worth repeating

@jeffsmithsbone.bsky.social I have a Q that I've been asking comic creators for a while now, if that's ok? What's your favorite comic book sound effect?

This looks fantastic! Kerascoët is probably my favorite BD artist(s)! Very glad I got to meet them in Tokyo some years ago.

Nice Black Sunday reference!

My late mom went full FOX red previous to the 2016 election. For years, I just poker-faced my way through their rants. Even agreed with agreeable things. When I said anything, it was met with outrage. Mom saying “deal with it” & “f*ck you” will unfortunately always be like rusty nails in my heart.

My pops calls me to bitch about a post I shared on Project 2025. Don’t send me such crap, he says. Propaganda, he says. I’m not sending it to YOU, it was a public share, I says. What has Trump done badly? he asks.

@azzageddi.bsky.social glad we’re connected over here

Those last two books I posted led to my interest in other countries, languages, and cultures. That interest is why I live in Japan and speak and study various languages. #BookSky💙📚 #Books #BookChallenge

I want this one so badly!

I woke up with this image in my head. Now that I’ve made it, I have to come up with what would be the content. The only hint I have is the title Choc Futur. #zine #diyzines #zines #zinecommunity #アート #イラスト #zinesky

I wonder where mine went…

Not sure people realise how hard it's been recently for artists to survive, or how deeply appreciated every single order is. If you can't buy something, it makes a huge difference just to share our work. If you can't share our work, a little sacrifice to the Old Gods on our behalf means a lot, too 💜

Although not usually ranked very highly among lovers of weird fiction, I occasionally re-read (and always enjoy) Lovecraft's DREAM-QUEST OF UNKNOWN KADATH. Say what you'd like about it being a Dunsanian pastiche, it's really it's own thing and quite imaginatively bonkers.

I make bilingual #zines in Japanese and English. Some fun, some silly, and a dash of personal trauma.
