Graphic by Trung Le Ngyuen featuring a drawing of Liam Ramos with his bunny hat and Spidey backpack and a small smile. Text reads: "Comics 4 Liam / WE're asking artists to draw pictures for Liam Ramos that you think might make this particular boy feel happy and cared for. / Maybe drawings of things he might love; maybe pictures of Liam himself as you think he might like to be seen. / Please post your art with the hashtag #Comics4Liam and a link to comics4liam.com, which lists fundraisers for Liam and others victimized by ICE and links to organizations that support immigrants.

Overhauled the data ingestion system and we should be good for the next two weeks. Over the next week or so, I'll be ingesting the next two MONTHS' of data, so this past week's data gap should be an entry in the back issue bin.
Due to a computer crash, the release information for November and December will be showing up later this week.
Mac OS X decided to crash on me and wipe out a weekend's worth of data entry as I was exporting the data to be sent to the server...
Just did a big data update to bring in the October issues for DC, Image, and Titan issue into the database.
Refresh your app if those issues are not appearing.

On this day in 1987, the Batman: Son of the Demon graphic novel went on sale, and included the brief appearance of the unnamed son of Batman and Talia al Ghul. It would be just short of 20 years before that son - Damian - would be seen again, eventually meeting his father and becoming the 5th Robin.

40 years ago today, I walked into the offices of Marvel Comics for my first day of work, nervous, but hopeful that I would eventually make my mark on the company and the industry.
It's been an incredible ride so far!
Oof. This is getting UGLY.

I came of age after Shooter's tenure at Marvel, but in addition to the superhero comics work, I'm also thankful for him getting the right people working on other properties like Transformers (Bob Budiansky) and G.I. Joe (Larry Hama) back when those properties needed proper mythos built.
THAT TIME I INKED RAMONA FRADON!
I'd completely forgotten about this page until asked if I had the original art (which I don't) to sell (which I wouldn't). A great honor & joy to work with Ramona, even just this once… and on METAMORPHO, even— soon to steal every scene in the upcoming SUPERMAN movie!

As recently as a month ago, I'd be cataloging 10x the number of issues from Diamond.
In the middle of getting caught up on data updates.
Shops are updated, conventions as well. Just pulled in the (semi) raw data for the past couple of weeks of Diamond.
As recently as a month ago, I'd be cataloging 10x the number of issues from Diamond.
It's the end of an era, folks.
