How I Learned To Live
How I Learned To Live is the latest mini-comic Steve and I have cooked up over at Fables of the Flying City. Since so many folks have clamored for it, we decided to give people a further glimpse into the life of Hanner Gatling. It’s a doozy, with some of Steve’s best work yet and
Even Moebius Used White-Out
I yoinked this Mobius INCAL page from Brandon Graham’s blog Royal Boiler. There’s a lot of details to love here–Moebius’s line work, his delicate lettering, pasted in just so. But what gets me is the white-out. It’s good to know that even a towering comics genius like Moebius made mistakes. Speaking of comics, there’s a
Comrade Cockroach VS Bold Eagle
Bold Eagle is being a little disingenuous here; he totally had help when he fought the gods of gods. EDIT: J-P Losier requested an audio file of Comrade Cockroach saying “Truly, that is an epic post! One for the ages!” It seemed a reasonable enough request. More Cockroach: The Official File of Comrade Cockroach The
Ask Comrade Cockroach: The Murderous Appeal Of Gordon Ramsay
I share the good Comrade’s fascination with Gordon Ramsay. Great television, that man, whether he’s screaming at someone who can’t manage to cook a omelet or championing a little family-run Indian cafe as the best restaurant in Britain. I’m not saying I want the man to go into a violent killing spree, but I can
This Isn’t News
Yesterday, when the announcement came that DC Comics was going to put out prequels to Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons’s seminal graphic novel WATCHMEN, I posted this comment on the usual channels: So some really talented comics creators were announced to be squandering their talent working on characters they don’t own. This is news? This
Comrade Cockroach Explains It All
I was looking for some clip-art to make some quickie-comics, when I realized that I had six panels of Comrade Cockroach talking to the reader. Much cooler than clip-art, and much more fun to write. If you have a question for Comrade Cockroach, leave it in the comments. More Cockroach: The Official File of Comrade
What I Did On My Sick Day
How do you know I was sick yesterday? Because this comic page was only penciled. If I was in top form, I’m sure I could’ve squeezed some inks and colors out, too. It’s weird to finally draw Comrade Cockroach fighting someone. Up until now, I’ve just drawn him standing there. I had to seriously think
The Difficulty In Reaching Audiences
Here’s where I put on my buzzkill hat for a minute. You may have seen this comic by David Willis, as it has been floating around Tumblr and sci-fi sites and what have you. It is, as all of Willis’s work is, humorously drawn and sharply funny. It’s also a little disingeniousness. DC did publish
The Cockroach Speaks
There is a trend on the internet right now, where a comic character explains who they are in 6 panels. Captain Marvel, Batgirl & Supergirl, the Ultrahumanite and Jubilee have all received this treatment, by some extremely talented writers and artists. As folk literature goes, these pages represent perhaps the purest form of it, as
