Sometimes horror in comics is best portrayed by highly expressive artists like Bill Sienkiewicz or Martin Simmonds. Other times, the best choice is an artist who draws much more realistically. Here are two favorites that fit into that latter category: Curt Swan (New Teen Titans #43)...

Curt Swan, New Teen Titans #43 (sample 1 of 2): an elderly woman is overcome with xenophobia

Curt Swan, New Teen Titans #43 (sample 2 of 2): an elderly man is trapped in a maze

Two of a kind by Frank Miller. Shame the Spidey cover is ruined by the ad at the top. 🫤

The covers to Peter Parker The Spectacular Spider-Man #60 and Daredevil #191, both drawn bybFrank Miller in a similar style, and both showing dramatic shots of our heroes above a dark New York skyline.

The first long interview with the mysterious Clair Noto, one of the 1st women comics writers, who wrote the cult fave Red Sonja series in the late 1970s, and about whom little is known. She tees off on Roy Thomas, who she accuses of stealing credit, & Frank Thorne, who she detested. Juicy stuff!

Who is Clair Noto? Clair Noto is a footnote in the history of Marvel Comics. Superciliously deigned as a co-writer (which she denies), lazily written off (if written about at all) by supposed fans …

I ❤️ how even though the panels get wider as Walter's transformation into Sasquatch goes on, they can't keep pace with the metamorphosis. (Alpha Flight #21 by John Byrne & co.)

People on here, regardless if they're left or liberals love to assign many voters deeper motives than they have. A significant amount of people voted Trump because he's the man from the TV that said he'd make things cheap again.

They're talking about "water based" cooking now. Cooking things in water instead of oils. It's soup. They're making soup.

Regarding the new MANY WORLDS: THE ART OF CHRISTIAN WARD, VOLUME ONE book that came in the mail recently... 🤩🏆 Christian Ward's art = chef's kiss 🤩🏆 Having said that, the three pages of text should have been proofread much more closely, as there are multiple typos and formatting issues.

Page 22 of SWAMP THING #24 ends with these words: "I want to be alive, and grow, and rise up..." The thought gets completed on page 23: "...and meet the sun." It's an important moment: Swamp Thing embracing his plant self, and plants need sunlight. Scientifically accurate and thematically resonant!

@cbccpodcast.bsky.social, I think Swamp Thing would appreciate "The Greatest Love of All" by Whitney Houston, especially in the moment at the end of issue #24 ("Roots").

Things I didn't know til I started calling my reps daily: * It's easy to find scripts online at places like 5calls.org Just pick 1 topic each day. * You almost get sent to voicemail, so it's really not scary. * Offices do tabulate the # of people that call & why so it does matter in aggregate!
