Took a break from my other projects to practice over pencils by my sometimes-boss and fellow St. Louisan, Jim Lee! #fyp #inking #comics #wonderwoman #dccomics

A friend recently hit me up for some book recommendations on inking comics. Here are three of my favorites. #fyp #capcut #inking #drawingcomics #comics www.instagram.com/reel/DZ7ZS2J...

I consider myself as a lifelong student--especially of comics--so whenever I'm asked to do a lecture, panel, or workshop, I feel really unqualified. In unrelated news, I'll be holding three panels at Florida Supercon this year

I guess I'm gonna have to write this script one day at a time. Comic writers, how much can you write in a day, and how long does it take you to do it?

Hey, #comics friends and X haters, I just posted this in Instagram. Please feel free to like and share if you're still over there so we can defeat the algo and get it seen! THANK YOU!!! www.instagram.com/p/DYSQjo8ES4U/

Hey, fellow comics creators! In my opinion, Elon Musk's X is monumentally bad for all of us and the whole world.

NO COMICS ON X

Please consider never posting on that site again.

I know, Instagram is also bad, but not AS bad. And we gotta start somewhere!

I'm on Bluesky, which isn't perfect, but it's a hell of a lot better. I'll boost you there if you're a mutual. Lemme know!

⚫⚪Black & White or 🎨Color? I got these samples back of some new premium prints with spot-raised UV ink over my ink lines. There's also metallic silver ink on Diana's sword, breastplate and tiara. What do you think? Shout out to Dean at Googleplex Collectibles for these beautiful prints!

One of the highlights of my weekend at Emerald City Comic Con was selling my inks of Denys Cowan's amazing Absolute Wonder Woman Annual #1 cover. I can't express enough how much I appreciate the opportunity to work with Denys. Now if he could ink *me* on something I could die happy. (Yeah, right!)🤣

As TOS Trekkies/Trekkers, today's THREADS OF DESTINY one-shot from Stephanie Williams, Gregory Maldonado, Anthony Fowler Jr & Charlie Kirchoff was a thrilling treat, supplying a magical meta Nichelle Nichols moment & delivering an episode we should have gotten in 1966. #NCBD

IDW posted a preview of next week's Uhura comic, so now I can show you that I stuck the Gold Key logo on there and actually got to keep it.

Definitely had fun with this one! Thanks to the great Denys Cowan for the pencils and the excellent Francesco Segala for hooking up the colors!

I appreciate all the opportunities I've been afforded in this industry. Truly. I'm incredibly grateful. But--and I say this carefully and with all due respect--PLEASE don't just hire me for/during Black History Month.

This scene (from The Temptations TV movie) lives rent-free in my head. So much so that it affects my approach to my comics career.

Anthony Fowler Jr. @afowlerart.com · 21/10/2025

Soft skills like time management, customer service, communication, conflict resolution, etc. are still applicable in your comics career. Timeliness is essential even if you don't punch a clock, and customer service/effective communication is helpful even if you don't deal directly with the public.

So technically, the Heartless do have hearts but no bodies, and Nobodies have bodies, but lack hearts. I can't imagine why people think the lore of the series is confusing. #KingdomHearts

When people ask what I think about my own work, they're usually surprised at how negative or apathetic I am about it.

Not to throw shade on how anyone else operates, but I wouldn't feel right launching a Kickstarter for my book before at least 75% of the comic is done. #comics #crowdfunding #kickstarter

This is a reminder not to take histrionic, knee-jerk reactions to superhero films seriously. Especially if it hasn't come out yet. Wait until you can see the film and watch it for yourself. If you don't like it, don't watch it--but more importantly, let others have a chance to judge for themselves.

I hate to put on the tinfoil hat, but it's hard for me to think the market manipulation wasn't one of the main goals of this tariff nonsense.

Late Night Accountability Posting: As I've told several folks, yes, I'm making a comic. Here's what I can discuss. It will be an action-adventure fantasy story in the vein of Zelda and FF. I want to put out a story you'll enjoy reading as much as I enjoy creating. Stay tuned. #BlackMagus

Trying to find the sweet spot between being completely done with politics and seeking massive positive sociopolitical change is tough

Mad respect for Dustin Nguyen for speaking up. If enough creators stop accepting things as they are and fight for change, it could actually happen.

There are several big caveats missing, but the biggest one is that making $38,400 is contingent on having assigned work for the majority of the year. That's not a reality anymore. Even if you're making $160/page, which also isn't a reality for most creators. bleedingcool.com/comics/big-t...
