Chris! Your work really sparked my love of western/crime comics! Such a huge fan!
I interviewed for an editorial position at a comic publisher last summer and they asked me who I’d want to try and bring on board and you were the first name out of my mouth! So happy to see your success!
I can’t believe I missed the announcement for the return of one of my favorite comics of all time. @christophcondon.bsky.social and @thatjacobphillips.bsky.social are incredible talents!!
Really wondering about the logistics of trying to pull together a short comics anthology. I have no clue if there would be enough interest/submissions but I’d love to edit and assemble something like that. #comics #indiecomics
Love Corto Maltese. Fantastic depiction!

Real exciting stuff! I interviewed for a comics editing job a while back and they asked if what type of an imprint I’d run given the chance and my mind immediately jumped to crime! Looking forward to this!
You can get all of Peanuts for… peanuts.
My latest article for my new comics publishing newsletter, Gutter Bound, is now live!
If you're interested in comics editing, collected editions, or hearing someone talk a LOT about John Ostrander, please take a look! I'm excited to dive more into the DC Catalog!
My second article for my newsletter, Gutter Bound, dropped this morning!
In this, I make a few predictions on DC’s upcoming editorial slate, provide content descriptions for possible collections, and breakdown how DC’s latest priorities shape what we might see on their calendar this year.
I launched a comics newsletter!
Gutter Bound brings together my background in publishing and my interest in comics to explore collected editions and editorial strategy.
If you’re interested in publishing, editorial, or comics as a format, I’d appreciate you taking a look:

Well I was just laid off from my brand new position as a Used Book Buyer at Powell’s.
I’m am unreasonably excited about the new Fury of the Firestorm series from @jefflemire171.bsky.social and Rafael De Latorre! If DC really wants to print money, they need to give Alex Ross a blank check to make some Firestorm covers.
PORTLAND: First Friday Office Hours are this Friday, Dec 5ᵗʰ, 4-6 PM at Books with Pictures! @bkswpicspdx.bsky.social
Show me 6-8 pages of comics storytelling and I'll give you honest feedback based on my 30 years in comics. Details in the thread linked below: bsky.app/profile/stev...
Waiting to hear back after a #comics job interview is always so stressful. The “could this be the time I finally break in?” is at war with the deep-seated imposter syndrome.
Thank you so much!!
If anyone happens to know anyone over there, I would love to chat. I’m a huge fan of DC’s collected editions and I bring solid editorial experience from my time working with Ooligan Press on their first graphic novel project, as well as 5 other titles. (3/3)
During my graduate studies in PSU’s Book Publishing program, I heavily specialized in comics publishing. My published master’s thesis even focused on using digital comics services like DCUI as to gauge consumer interest and publish expensive prestige and collected editions with lower risk. (2/3)
Cover mockup Jonah Hex Omnibus
With the upcoming release of Jimmy Palmiotti and Justin Gray’s Jonah Hex: All-Star Western Omnibus (10/28), I wanted to reshare my mockup for their wildly underrated 2005 series. I have an application in for a Collected Editions editorial position at DC Comics and it is my absolute dream role. (1/3)
Don’t forget to pre-order the new GEIGER DELUXE HARDCOVER, collecting issues #1-9 of the hit ongoing @imagecomics.com series!
I applied for this job last night and it’s quite literally my dream job. I wrote my master’s thesis on how to use DCUI to lower the risk when published expensive collected editions in hopes of putting that research to use here!
Welcome back!
Hey! I work here! I had a great time talking with one of my favorite comic book creators at work this week! Go buy this book!
