In 1958, Captain Russell Keys has been having alien abduction events since his first abduction during World War II. On his most recent abduction he has reason to believe his estranged teenage son maybe getting abducted too. He returned to the family he abandoned in hopes of convincing his son to run away with him. In Texas, Sally Clarke’s starchild son was now 10 and began to show strange powers. She worried for her son’s safety, especially after a visit from Lt Colonel Owen Crawford who was in charge of a program that started after the Roswell, NM crash. (“Jacob and Jesse” Taken, TV)

TBR Pile: 2024 Preview Reads: Graphic Novels -

Books I'm most looking forward to in 2024!

Tales from the Wolf - A Signing with Tony Wolf

“I thoroughly enjoyed Tony Wolf’s TALES FROM THE WOLF. I’m a huge fan of independent creators; artists who tell stories culled from real life & personal experience. Tony’s work absolutely stands alongside that of Robert Crumb, Linda Barry and Harvey Pekar.”

- Bill Sienkiewicz, Eisner Awards Hall of Fame & Emmy Award-nominated artist

Seriously? Bill Sienkiewicz? If Bill’s quote about Tony’s book doesn’t sell you that this is a graphic novel that you MUST have then I don’t know if anything will. Invoking the creative juices of some of comics most legendary creators like Crumb, Barry and Pekar while still maintaining an “every-person” sensibility and connection to all our lives - Tony is really dialed in on what makes us “human”.

Tony takes us through key points in his life that any of us could have lived or can relate to or can associate with and includes short stories about being an Alpha Flight fan or calling in to vote for the Death of Jason Todd Robin - even stuff like talking about his favorite pizza spot in Brooklyn, the Tartufo (a dessert) or the McRib! Plus a ton of awesome fan art, some political comics and more!

About the book:

New York Times comics creator Tony Wolf debuts his new paperback comics collection, TALES FROM THE WOLF!  Published by Cosmic Lion Productions, this 220-page book (for just $20!) contains true stories written & drawn from 23 years living in the same Greenpoint, Brooklyn apartment, as well as stories for the NYT about unique food history, a visual account of how Tony personally voted to kill the Jason Todd Robin, and more!

About Tony:

Tony's comics have also been featured in Vulture / New York Magazine, on NY1 News, Gothamist, Comics Beat, and UK site Broken Frontier!  Tony is also a lifelong actor, with co-star credits on The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, The Blacklist & on Comedy Central.

Well there you have it - Tony Wolf is the true triple threat: actor, writer, artist.

Don’t miss this one-of-a-kind signing!

Not to mention, he’s recently been endorsed by none other than Patton Oswalt:

The Savage Sword of Conan #5 by Jason Aaron, Michael Kogge, Geof Isherwood and Dan Parsons. Variant cover (1) by Alex Horley. Main cover (2) by Joe Jusko. Out in October.

"A NEW KING CONAN ARC BEGINS BY JASON AARON! THE SAVAGE SWORD OF CONAN continues its triumphant return from Heroic Signatures and Titan Comics! Featuring the first chapter of an epic KING CONAN two-part comic from Eisner Award-winning writer JASON AARON and artist GEOF ISHERWOOD, a YOUNG CONAN tale from writer MICHAEL KOGGE and artist DAN PARSONS, colossal covers from JOE JUSKO and ALEX HORLEY, astonishing art pin-ups, and more!"

[gregdotorg]

I, for one, would like to know more about this solid timber scooter/bench in Frank Gehry's music room, next to the Kermit green Steinway [Michael Eisner thank you gift]. It was presumably designed by either Frank Gehry or his son Sam, who collaborated together on the house.

Since Architectural Digest published this photo in 2019, I can find no info on the scooter/bench.

What have been some of your big inspirations/points of education* with your comic work?

*could mean learning resources but also just, good advice you got once or improvements to your workflow you figured out

Thanks for this ask!! :]

I went to the School of Visual Arts, where I majored in Cartooning! A lot of what I learned, I learned from Indie Cartoonist Jason Little and DC/Marvel Editor Joey Cavalieri, both of whom taught multiple classes I've taken (mainly fundamental stuff but there were also some extra classes with them like Jason taught my Digital Comics course and Joey taught my History of Cartooning class). I learned how to draw trees from Jason. And from reading Pogo.

I've drawn a lot of inspiration in my storytelling from both Bone and Hellboy, mostly! Both Jeff Smith and Mike Mignola are masters of pacing in comics, and if you happen to be unfamiliar with their works, I can't recommend them enough. Besides those two, the rich, moody internal monologues of Spider-Man: Blue and Spider-Man: Evolve or Die are things I often think about when it comes to dialogue writing. That and (at least when it comes to writing Rouge's dialogue) my older sister. Just, like, in general. Pay attention to how the people around you speak. It helps a ton when figuring dialogue.

Hellboy is getting mentioned again because Mignola's heavy inks are something I like to look over in order to learn from and improve myself. Hellboy, Carl Barks's Donald Duck comics, Asterix & Obelix, Will Eisner's various works, Calvin and Hobbes ALL have this beauty in their inking that can really inspire. Personally, I'd like to get a bit messier with my inking. Messy inks feel so alive. They're so visually interesting.

For colors, I highly recommend this book. I've read it and re-read it as much as possible. It may be for painters, but cartoonists can and should learn from all kinds of art forms. The works of Moebius were also mega foundational for me in learning how to color my comics. The man knew his palettes and how to not confine himself too much to what's "realistic". Speaking of painters (you may roll your eyes at this one) I'm also a fan of Frank Frazetta.

For panelling, I only have one true inspiration, and that's the work of Tess Stone. I grew up reading Hanna Is Not A Boy's Name. It changed how I viewed the limitations of panelling forever. Of course, it may be harder to find that comic these days, so here's a snippet:

Basic advice: really really take your time taking in art that you like, and try to reverse-engineer how it was made in your head. Heck, even if there's art you DON'T like, overall, but has elements you DO like, you can learn from that, too!

Okay! Sorry for rambling! Now here's the thing you're actually here for:

How To Think When You Draw collection of REALLY GOOD tutorials for whatever you need, these guys helped me out a ton when I was figuring the jungle scenes early in Infested.

An Extremely Good Font Site That Is Used By Professionals In The Comics Industry To Letter Their Comics.

The Most Important Book Any Cartoonist Can Read

A Different Book By The Same Man About Making Comics (for free, thanks Internet Archive)

Perspective For Comic Book Artists, thanks again Internet Archive

As for workflow... Man, I wish I could give you any kinda advice on that. I'm struggling with it, myself. I guess I've got two things?

If you have multiple deadlines for, say, multiple commissions or something, or you're trying to put out a weekly comic, but you're also doing something else, break the day up into time slots for each project, and switch the moment it's time to. Keep yourself on that schedule. I'm not very good at this.

I draw pretty detailed thumbnails, so sometimes I'll skip the penciling step in comics and blow up the thumbnail to ink over that. It's faster for sure! It's not always the right solution, however.

Thanks for reading! I hope any of what I've said helps at all!

[evandorkin]

Once again plugging the BEASTS OF BURDEN OMNIBUS in the hopes of selling a copy or two. In this modern comics world a book comes out and disappears like a pebble tossed in a lake. There's a few ripples and then it's forgotten. I keep taking this pebble out and drying it. I don't think that metaphor really works but fuck it.

BUY THIS BOOK. DON'T POSTPONE JOY.

The Beasts of Burden Omnibus is available at full-line comic shops and bookstores that support stuff like this. It's also available from online book and comic shops and sellers. Published by Dark Horse Comics, the same folks who published The Eltingville Club, Dork and Milk & Cheese (and will once again in the future).

Almost 600 color pages of story and extras for only $30. Dogs and cats versus the supernatural. Includes every story done so far including the crossover with Mike Mignola's Hellboy. Art by co-creator Jill Thompson and Benjamin Dewey. Lettering by Nate Piekos and Jason Arthur. Scripts by e, with several stories co-written with Sarah Dyer. Winner of eight Eisner Awards and a Harvey Award. We lost some other things we were nominated for.

It's a good comic.

End of plug.

[burins]

as promised the separate comics/graphic novels roundup for 2023! this is a normal post until May when I realized I could (as a graphic novel librarian) become an Eisner voter and read 54 comics in a month (and then slightly less so in August when the Harveys came up.) below a cut because it's heinously long. I'll include my little write-ups and some panels right after my faves

JANUARY

Superman: Reign of the Supermen by Dan Jurgens and others

Under the Red Hood by Judd Winick and Doug Mahnke

I read this January second. Begin as you mean to go on! For all its flaws (Dick's Squidward face) the emotional arc of this story puts me right into the pit about Jason Todd.

Batman/Superman: World’s Finest (ongoing) by Mark Waid, Dan Mora, and Travis Moore

First off Dan Mora draws everyone like the most beautiful people in the world, which never hurts to look at. But also this is just a really fun comic! The action is fun the characters are very sweet and we get an honest to god Superbat gem fusion

Young Justice (1998) by Peter David and Todd Nauck

MY CHILDREN! I was finishing up my Tim readthrough and was so delighted to meet Kon and Cassie and Bart and Cissie and Anita (I still don't care for Lobo.) Nauck's art is cartoony in a way that fits the comic really well.

Titans/Young Justice: Graduation Day by Judd Winick and Ale Garza

Red Robin by Christopher Yost, Fabian Nicieza, Ramón Bachs, and Marcus To

THEEEEE ARC for Tim. Everyone says read Red Robin. Yes read Red Robin but also understand this is him at his worst and most scrungly. This is not normal Tim. This is Tim's failgirl era.

MARCH

You and a Bike and a Road by Eleanor Davis

Beautiful little memoir comic about biking across the US, and also about borders and travel and isolation/togetherness.

Superman for All Seasons by Jeph Loeb, Tim Sale, and Bjarne Hansen

I love this comic. Tim Sale draws Clark like the biggest, softest person you've ever seen, and Bjarne Hansen's colors are so gentle. (if you remember the rock metaphor from mission parameters, it's inspired by this scene from Book 1: Spring)

APRIL

Superman: Lost by Christopher Priest and Carlos Parlaguyan (ongoing)

This series cuts right to the horror of being Superman and also the horror of being Lois Lane SO deftly. a few plot points I don't love but overall God it makes me miserable

Birds of Maine by Michael Deforge

A delightful, dreamy collection of comics about birds living in a utopian society on the moon. The art is weird, the story is weird, everything about it is lovely.

MAY

Divinity v1-2 by Matt Kindt and Trevor Hairsine

The City of Belgium by Brecht Evans

This is not a perfect graphic novel but the stuff it does with art and page and rhythm is so so phenomenal.

Lights, Planets, People! by Lizzy Stewart and Molly Naylor

Killadelphia v1-3 by Rodney Barnes, Jason Shawn Alexander, and Christopher Mitten

The Department of Truth v1-4 by James Tynion IV and Martin Simmonds

This is a book about conspiracy theories and it is DEEPLY unsettling. Martin Simmonds' art makes me legitimately queasy to look at. Really really good but also it did send me into a little spiral for a bit.

Supergirl Woman of Tomorrow by Tom King and Bilquis Evely (Mat Lopes' colors also deserve a shoutout)

This book made me cry! Also I have yet to read another Kara comic because this one was so good and I'm afraid the others won't be. She's sharp and angry in all the best ways and also deeply deeply caring and good. Capes meets space fantasy at its best. I would die for Ruthye

Nightwing (2016) v1-2 by Tom Taylor and Bruno Redondo

Batman: One Bad Day: The Riddler by Tom King and Mitch Gerads

She-Hulk (2022) v1-2 by Rainbow Rowell, Luca Maresca, Rogê Antônio, and Takeshi Miyazawa

Superman: Space Age by Mike Russell and Michael Allred

Revenge of the Librarians by Tom Gauld

Pinball: A Graphic History of the Silver Ball by Jon Chad

Down to the Bone: A Leukemia Story by Catherine Pioli

So Much for Love: How I Survived a Toxic Relationship by Sophie Lambda

Welcome to St. Hell: My Trans Teen Misadventure by Lewis Hancox 

Chef’s Kiss by Jarrett Melendez and Danica Brine

Wash Day Diaries by Jamila Rowser and Robyn Smith

Animal Castle v1 by Xavier Dorison and Felix Delep

Bungleton Green and the Mystic Commandos by Jay Jackson

Rain by Joe Hill and Zoe Thorogood

Flung Out of Space: Inspired by the Indecent Adventures of Patricia Highsmith by Grace Ellis and Hannah Templer

Masterclass in writing a biopic that doesn't shy away from its subject's being kind of a wretched person while also producing art that is deeply meaningful to many, many people.

Tiki: A Very Ruff Year by David Azencot and Fred Leclerc

Ten Days in a Madhouse by Nellie Bly, adapted by Brad Ricca and Courtney Sieh

Ultrasound by Conor Stechschulte

Tori Amos: Little Earthquakes, The Graphic Album (various)

A Visit to Moscow by Rabbi Rafael Grossman, adapted by Anna Olswanger and Yevgenia Nayberg

Look Back by Tatsuki Fujimoto

Shuna’s Journey by Hayao Miyazaki

Come Over Come Over by Lynda Barry

It’s So Magic by Lynda Barry

Macanudo: Welcome to Elsewhere by Liniers

My Perfect Life by Lynda Barry

What a lovely collection of comics. Barry captures being a teen in all its mess and glory.

Always Never by Jordi Lafebre

The Pass by Espé

Mary Jane and Black Cat Beyond

Moon Knight: Black, White and Blood by Jed Mackay and Carlos Villa

The Nice House on the Lake v1-2 by James Tynion IV and Álvaro Martínez Bueno (Jordie Bellaire colors)

I know Tynion can do horror, but he really really can do horror. This is like Glass Onion meets the worst nightmare you've ever had, and the way it unfolds is masterful. Martínez Bueno's art is dreamy and unsettling, especially combined with Bellaire who colors like she's painting oil slicks.

A Vicious Circle by Mattson Tomlin and Lee Bermejo

The Human Target v1-2 by Tom King and Greg Smallwood

Booster Gold (1986) by Dan Jurgens

Booster my friend Booster. I really didn't expect this to be as FUN as it is! There are occasional storylines that drag but overall a delight.

Heartstopper v2-4 by Alice Oseman

Killer Queens by David Booher and Claudia Balboni

I Hate This Place v1 by Kyle Starks and Artyom Topilin

I really need to read v2 because this was so fun. Queer backwoods horror, sarcastic, delightful, and never heavy-handed. I read this right after Killer Queens, which read like someone fed a bunch of Drag Race episodes and 2012 tumblr posts into a comics generator, and Heartstopper, which was so blandly unobjectionable I actually forgot I'd read it, so I Hate This Place felt refreshing as hell. (actually while looking up screencaps I remember why I didn't read v2 which is that v1 has a LOT of gore and body horror and I gotta be careful with that stuff. however if you like a slasher go forth)

It’s Lonely at the Center of the Earth by Zoe Thorogood

Gut punch on every page. Thorogood's art is weird and wild. It does feel a bit as though she's opened up her ribs for us to peruse.

Chivalry by Neil Gaiman and Colleen Doran

Sensory: Life on the Spectrum (various)

Cryptid Club by Sarah Andersen

Public Domain v1 by Chip Zdarsky

Love Everlasting v1 by Tom King and Elsa Charretier

Mazebook by Jeff Lemire

A twisting fable about grief and the paths it takes you down. A lot of the Eisner noms had dead wives or daughters which I began to resent, but I gave this a pass because it was really, really beautiful.

Days of Sand by Aimee DeJongh

Ducks: Two Years in the Oil Sands by Kate Beaton

Everyone has told you it's good! oh it's good. Beaton's style, which I associate more with her humor work, at first feels somewhat at war with the subject matter, but it ended up really working for me.

Talk to My Back by Yamada Murasaki

This was one of my favorite books of the whole year. Beautiful meditation on the compromises of marriage and motherhood in beautiful, sparse drawings that lingered with me long after I'd finished reading.

Crushing by Sophie Burrows

JUNE

Do a Powerbomb by Daniel Warren Johnson

Do you like wrestling? I don't really care about it, but I do love weird wacky stories about grief and trying to fight your way through the afterlife to get your mom back. Both hilarious and poignant. The art is as bombastic as it needs to be.

The Night Eaters v1 by Marjorie Liu and Sana Takeda

Liu and Takeda are back! This time with some horror about a pair of siblings and their fucked up parents. Great stuff.

Ripple Effects by Jordan Hart and Bruno Chiroleu

Kingdom Come by Mark Waid and Alex Ross

Superman: Up in the Sky by Tom King and Andy Kubert

Oh the Clark Kent of it all. the panel where Clark is calling home from alien customs because he has flown to the ends of the universe for one little girl is really what got me in this one

Superman: American Alien by Max Landis and various artists

JULY

Superman Red and Blue (anthology)

This is a whole lot of writers and a whole lot of artists and all of them are excellent. Once again the Clark Kent emotion is happening to me.

Superman: Birthright by Mark Waid and Leinil Francis Yu

Superman (2011) v5-6 by Greg Pak and Aaron Kuder

Superman: Warworld by Philip Kennedy Johnson and various artists

AUGUST

Justice League International by Keith Giffen, J. M. DeMatteis, and Kevin Maguire

Booster my friend Booster is here and also so are all of my other new friends. I loved the initial run (though it has its weak spots) but then I had to slog through a lot of very bad later stuff.

Blue and Gold by Dan Jurgens and Ryan Sook

New Teen Titans (various Brother Blood issues) by Marv Wolfman and George Pérez

Acting Class by Nick Drnaso

Follow Me Down: A Reckless Book by Ed Brubaker

Girl Juice by Benji Nate

Little Monsters v1 by Jeff Lemire and Dustin Nguyen

Mimosa by Archie Bongiovanni

Who Will Make the Pancakes by Megan Kelso

Cat + Gamer by Wataru Nadatani

Goodbye, Eri by Tatsuki Fujimoto

Spy x Family v1-2 by Tatsuya Endo

Alice on the Run: One Child’s Journey Through the Rwandan Civil War by Gaspard Talmasse

Ashes by Álvaro Ortiz

The Extraordinary Part: Book One: Orsay’s Hands by Florent Ruppert and Jérôme Mulot

The art and story here are simply so fabulous. A better world is possible and sometimes you have to take direct action to make it!

SEPTEMBER

Batman RIP by Grant Morrison and Tony S. Daniel

Batman Incorporated by Grant Morrison and Chris Burnham

OCTOBER

Batman and Robin (2011) by Peter J. Tomasi and Patrick Gleason

I've talked about this one before but I think it is truly one of my favorite depictions of Bruce as father in all the ways he succeeds and all the ways he fails. John Kalisz's luminous colors also deserve a shoutout.

Batman: Failsafe and Gotham War by literally everyone currently working in DC but especially Zdarsky

DECEMBER

Birds of Prey (1999) by Chuck Dixon and then Gail Simone and a number of other people (this continued into November and December)

This made the worms in my brain wriggle so bad that I wrote a whole yuri zine piece about Dinah and Babs, coming to a PDF (or physical copy!) near you soon!

Dungeon Meshi v1-11 by Ryoko Kui

Is it romantic to devour and be devoured in turn? Ryoko Kui sure thinks so. I was hungry the whole time I was making these my bedtime reading.

When I Arrived at the Castle by Emily Carroll

Through the Woods by Emily Carroll

Emily Carroll is among the best to ever do it. This collection of stories is her at her unsettling best.

Batgirl (2000) v1-3 by Kelley Puckett and Damion Scott

thanks to Mssrs Puckett and Scott I am now fully unhinged about Cass Cain and her quest for immolation. the art in this is so stylized but so well-done, especially given how little text is in much of the series. when the paneling hits it HITS.

and that's everything I read this year!! god there was a lot of it. I liked a lot of the stuff I didn't bold, but also I hated some of it. please feel free to talk to me about any of it!!!

Bruce Wayne Murderer/Fugitive by everyone working at DC in 2002

When a good crossover storyline works, it really really works. I love to see Bruce completely blow up his life because he doesn't see any point in existing outside the cowl anymore. Even more do I love to see the fallout from this on everyone who loves him! delight delight delight.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #1 kicks off a whole new era in July

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #1 kicks off a whole new era in July #comics #comicbooks #tmnt

The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (TMNT) are skilled at hiding in the shadows, but this July the four mutant brothers are leaping directly into the spotlight as they star in one of the biggest comic book launches of the year: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #1 from Eisner award-winning writer Jason Aaron and an impressive lineup of acclaimed artists on the first four issues: Joëlle Jones, Rafael…

"HIS TAKE ON "THE THING" ILLUSTRATES ALL THE GOOPY BODY HORROR OF THE ICONIC SPLIT-FACE FROM THE FILM..."

PIC INFO: Resolution at 1000×1501 -- Spotlight on John Carpenter's "The Thing (officially licensed fine art poster), edition of 150, initially made available at Thought Bubble Comic Convention in Harrogate, UK, c. November 2024. Artwork by Leeds, UK-based, Eisner Award-winning artist and illustrator, John W. Pearson.

MINI-OVERVIEW: "...fusing traditional drawing techniques, digital painting, and collage to produce highly detailed and darkly compelling images across a range of printed media. His take on "The Thing" illustrates all the goopy body horror of the iconic Split-Face from the film, which was created by legendary effects artist Rob Bottin."

-- FANGORIA, "First Look: Eisner Award-Winning Artist And Illustrator John J. Pearson Takes On "THE THING,"" by Jason Kauzlarich, published November 13, 2024

“I fell in love with "The Thing" when I first saw it as a teenager. The paranoid claustrophobia against the bleak antarctic expanse blew my mind, but it was Rob Bottin’s insane visual effects that really resonated with me. I wanted to pay tribute to that in some way with the poster, painting my take on the iconic split-face against the stretches of space.”

– JOHN J. PEARSON, on the personal impact of "The Thing" and its effect on the poster design
