I happened upon this on a late night scroll and went and put it over the finish line. I'm looking forward to seeing the book!

I google the conversation rate and go from there. I don't expect everyone to cater to my currency.

She-Hulk? C'mon. It's also worth pointing out that each of these characters were developed and better utilized by later creators. Inept is a strong word, but without Kirby and Ditko, he'd be a footnote in comics history.

I'd be curious to hear what good stuff Stan created after Kirby and Ditko. Or before, for that matter.

@floatingworld.bsky.social carries stuff from Hollow Press and Dark and Golden Books. They might be a good option. They're also one of the best shops in North America.

To celebrate our 50th anniversary, we're bringing back some of our most beloved comics, including Naughty Bits #1 by Roberta Gregory: originally launched in 1991, it became the longest-running solo alternative comic book series by a female cartoonist--out 5/20! https://ow.ly/VWUr50YmLU4

I need to revisit Gerber. He didn't do much for me when I was younger. I doubt he'll do much for me now, either, but unlike most of the other 70s mainstream writers I think he's worth a reappraisal.

To be fair, DC mostly sucked in the 70s, too, so it's a wash.

This take is so misguided that I'd love to see you write about it!

I agree with that. It was conclusion that I took (some) issue with. And, whether or not it's a good thing that mode of comics is past its prime. I have a feeling we'd have different about, but it's something we should dig into.

I'd like to hear more about that, though I'm sure I'd vehemently disagree with your conclusions.

I'd love to pick up Orchard #3, at the very least. When it's safe to place orders from the U.S. (if ever), please let us know.

Hi, hello, I wrote a few words today about Silent Pictures, a pair of no-dialogue color comic albums which represent the final works of Kevin O’Neill, co-creator of Nemesis the Warlock, Marshal Law and The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen.
