Vaccinate your children

When we're starting out, the fact that we're getting paid AT ALL is astonishing, right?

That's a damn good first job!

So sad Giffen's not around to see it.

Pre-ordered!

Tomorrow! I’ll be hosting a claim sale in the evening with rare sketch covers, variants, and graded comics, thanks to donations from @dynamitecomicshq.bsky.social, so my wife and I can rebuild. Get cool stuff! 5:30pm pacific/8:30pm eastern!

Superman, in my view, represents the best in all of us. It's not his powers that matter—it's his decency, his compassion and, yes, his innate charm. It's as if, back in 1938, our collective unconscious created the hero we needed.

We need him now more than ever.

I've been lucky enough to write Superman in comics, animation, and live action (okay, they called it Superboy, but close enough, right?). If I could travel back in time and tell my ten-year-old, comics-obsessed self what was waiting in his future, he'd faint from sheer delight.

Happy Superman Day (a day late)!

My love of Superman began with George Reeves in TV's Adventures of Superman and comics written by Superman co-creator Jerry Siegel, Otto Binder, and Edmond Hamilton (among others) and illustrated by Curt Swan, Wayne Boring, Kurt Schaffenberger, and Al Plastino.

Sending good thoughts to Adam Hughes and his family.

If you can, please help Mark recover this stolen artwork. Many pieces were gifts to him by the artists, so they have a great deal of sentimental value beyond their monetary worth.

So it's a comic about a kid with an imaginary lion as a friend?
