Made the mistake of visiting another social and gotta say - their #comics community is much livelier than ours has been lately.. we need to up our game!
So here's a challenge - post one for your favorite #Batman covers. Here's my all time fave.. I owned it as a kid and it gave me the jeebies!
...also taught me that #comicbook covers can and often do lie! 😂
For over a hundred years, revolutionaries have referred to anarchism as “The Beautiful Idea”—and that appellation is the title of Portland-based artist @nobonzo's first comic book, which might itself be set a hundred years in the future. An ode to the spirit of rebellion, the story follows a Hansel and Gretel-esque pair of children who stumble across a cabin deep in the woods beyond their decaying city. But instead of a sugary trap, this house is filled with anarchist artifacts, an enduring archive of anti-authoritarian optimism.
Just read a great series by ace comic book writer Geoff Johns, titled Stargirl: The Lost Children. In it, he "reintroduces" dozens of supposedly forgotten kid sidekicks of classic superheroes into the DC Universe. It's a lot of fun to read; Johns knows how to use continuity while adding something fresh. Will be interesting to see what he does with these characters in the new ongoing Justice Society series.
'Q&A with Matt Fraction: The Comic Book and TV Writer on What He's Learned from Letting Go As an Artist'
The 'MONARCH: LEGACY OF MONSTERS' co-creator discusses the virtue of crazy ideas, chasing right angles, and the boozy hotel bar debate that changed his life.
This is an essential read for any kind of artist, trust me.
