Some art by Josep M. Beá. One of the reasons i love genre fiction is seeing the ways artists and writers use genre as a very loose template to explore their ideas.

Some cool pages by Enrique Breccia

I love the short stort format in comics. There is something magical about telling a fun, well paced, and even thoughtful story in 12 pages or less. Even more so when you are able to serialize a longer story with that mindset.

Finally got my copy of the Enrique Breccia slipcase. Breccia, Trillo, and Barreiro fans in the anglosphere are eating good this year

Got my hands on the final issue of Killer Influences by @joeyesposito.bsky.social and Valeria Burzo with colours by @inakiazpiazu.bsky.social . I was Iñaki's colour assistant for all three issues and it is surreal as heck to the finished series in person. Was very fun book to work.

If you see this repost with your model of positive masculinity The character arc this guy goes on is why he is my pick. Enzo Matrix from REBOOT, from anyone who hasn't seen the show.

Amores Perros by Iñárritu is a fantastic film that again, has elements that are clearly inspired by noir but lack the superficial aesthetics (this is again, a very well known film i am using to showcase my point).

Daniel G. Wilson @danielgwilson.bsky.social · 10/09/2026
Third World Cop and Dancehall Queen from Jamaica are fantastic crime films that deeply humanized everyone involved and comment on the societal problems that unfortunately still affect jamaica. Again, they lack the superficial aesthetics but have a clear influence from classic crime and noir.

Daniel G. Wilson @danielgwilson.bsky.social · 10/09/2026
"Money to burn" from Argentina (adapted from a novel by literary crime fiction master Ricardo Piglia) is another great example. It clearly shows the influence of classic crime and noir cinema but lacks most of the superficial aestheticd. The social commentary is very pointed.

There is a region wide tradition of using crime fiction as a way to examine and critique the socio-political situations each country (and the region as a whole) is dealing with. I recommend this book as a way to get an academic glimpse into the tradition.

Diogenes anecdotes remind me Anansi stories(certain types at least). The man would have fit write in as a jamaican writer/humourist. I relate to this image more and more everyday

Got a physical copy of Eisner's adaptation of The Epic of Sundiata (i bought it for a dollar Canadian). Interesting seeing it in person. Eisner's art and storytelling is great as usual but.. I have thoughts. Many thoughts.

Another great piece by Wilfred Limonious. I love how classic Jamaican artists and producers would be styled as everything from Marrial artists to superheroes to mythic figures in classic Dancehall album art.

An Afro-caribbean/African inspired fantasy comic i did with @cowsloveclover.bsky.social with letting by Tom Lynott. I wanted to imagine the creation of the world from the POV of Anansi and his fellow tricksters.

A little Christmas themed crime comic i did with @cowsloveclover.bsky.social for @thecomicjam.bsky.social a while ago. The stort was inspired by my issues with the logic of Santa Claus. Enjoy

It's interesting looking at Archie Goodwin's art. He employs a UPA like style to great effect.

I have never seen José Muñoz' colour work until now and good lord is it mesmerizing. Here are some pages from a story called "La Magolfa" that he did with Italian writer Paolo Bertella-Farnetti back in 95 for the French Magazine À Suivre

Finally got a copy of Killer Influences by @joeyesposito.bsky.social and Valeria Burzo with colours by @inakiazpiazu.bsky.social and lettering by Alex Ray. I worked in this series as Iñaki's colour assistant and it surreal seeing the finished book in person. Check it out if you like crime stories.

Watched Plata quemada (Burnt Money) directed by Marcelo Piñeyro. Fantastic crime film with a romantic subplot that reminds me of the one found in Takashi Ishii's Gonin (another excellent film) but far less ambiguous. Now to track down the book.
