In two weeks I’ll be part of a panel at #AnimeNYC spotlighting educators who use manga in the classroom. This is my first time doing a panel on this topic, so I’m excited to share what I’ve been doing with my students for the last few years in my classes!

Today is the 93rd birthday of Angelo Torres, born April 14, 1932. The last surviving artist to do work for EC Comics, he is probably best known for his several decades with Mad magazine.

A black and white pinup of Uncle Creepy from Creepy magazine.

The splash page for "An Eye for an Eye," his first solo story for EC Comics. The Comics Code Authority spiked it so it didn't actually get published until 1971.

A parody of the Love Boat called "Lust Boat" from Mad magazine.

Shoutout to Dustin Nguyen for speaking his piece on how he feels about Marvel. This is how they treat some of their top talent. America overall has a problem not respecting the arts as a longterm career securement.

Besides the Kirby 4th World Series (which are must reads of course) my personal favs are the Walt Simonson Orion series, the Tom Peyer/Rachel Pollack New Gods & the recently released YA graphic novels Mr. Miracle: The Great Escape by Varian Johnson/Daniel Isles & Barda by Ngozi Ukazu are excellent.

All right let’s jump into the wonderful New Gods #2 by Ram V, Evan Cagle, Jesse Lonergan, Francesco Segala, & Tom Napolitano. I need this book to run 100+ issues

New Gods #2 cover by Evan Cagle. Cover blurb reads “A Prophecy. A Child. A Miracle.” With Mister Miracle & Big Barda in the center of the cover

Here’s a thread photos I took that were salvaged from the bad website of a cool #Batman art gallery at Society of Illustrators from a few years back. 1/4

Museum display for the Society of Illustrators exhibit “Illustrating Batman”

Portrait of Batman credit to “Bob Kane” but we all know that dude loved to take any credit that wasn’t nailed down.

“Bob Kane” splash page featuring the Red Hood, Batman, and Robin

Batman, Robin, and the Rogues Gallery portrait. Not sure of the artist. Possibly Dick Sprang?
