Sometimes I’m strictly a writer, sometimes an inker or a colourist. Collaboration is a thrill… especially if you’re playing backup for @grantmorrison.bsky.social and @seanphillips.bsky.social

FIGGY UPDATE! After several delays beyond our control, the books are finally printed. There are things to sign and a lot of sorting and packing to do, but Gold Key assures me they ship in about 3 weeks. Thank you for your patience while we struggled to make FIGGY FURTHERMORE more than a figment!

Anyone else watch the Secret Saturdays when you were kids? Where Lies the Engulfer is an all-time favorite episode of any tv series for me I loved its show-don't-tell buildup to the reveal of the "cursed" lake, it's one of the reasons I like analyzing things in media so closely

Another cool thing about THE LAND OF NOD ultimate edition is that it matches up perfectly with the other Black Eye Books editions (JETCAT & FRIENDS, DEJECTS, DWELLINGS), creating a thematic ‘Jay Stephens Library’. Here is a photo in gritty anaglyph 3D to show you how REAL THIS IS go.blackeye.ca/nod

Real photo of real Nod tattoo sent to me from a fan c. 1993. If YOU’d like to capture that indie grunge vibe, our first stretch goal for The Land of Nod (at 200 backers) will gift every physical copy of the book with a classic 1990s ‘Nod’ design as a temporary tattoo! go.blackeye.ca/nod

Why red-orange & black for the Land Of Nod? To keep the 1930s vibe of the B&W comics I went back to the source for inspo! To cut costs, some strips back then were printed in 2 colour with the cheapest of red inks… low quality vermilion chosen for its price and opaque coverage. go.blackeye.ca/nod

🇨🇦Jay Stephens🇨🇦 @jstephenscomics.bsky.social · 18/05/2026

As I revisit THE LAND OF NOD ( go.blackeye.ca/nod ) for the ultimate colour collection, it's weird how many recurring themes show up in my work! These two sequences drawn 3 DECADES apart, for example (Sin Comics 1994, Dwellings 2023).

I finally got to homage the great Harvey Kurtzman for 💀EC’s💀 SHELLSHOCK, a 56-page war anthology coming this August from @onipress . Drawn by hand, just like our ancestors did. War is Hell, and so is AI. This one’s a tribute to the legendary FRONTLINE COMBAT no.7 ‘Iwo Jima’ cover from 1952.

Some fans got excited that the LAND OF NOD ultimate edition announcement (currently crowdfunding! - go.blackeye.ca/nod ) was about NEW Nod comics... so in case you're bummed out, I'm posting a NEW Coxwell The Badly Drawn Ghost strip on my ko-fi every Wednesday during the campaign. Deal? Deal.

The Land of Nod comics by @jstephenscomics.bsky.social are some of my absolute favorite stuff by one of my absolute favorite cartoonists, and some of the funniest comics I've ever read, so if you haven't read these stories yet then you are in for a treat. Well worth checking out!
