Everywhere I look lately a cis-Male comic creator is announcing a female-led project whilst my timelines are flooded with accounts of SA, both adult & minor, and I’ve never been more aware of living in a Patriarchal society.
A man walks down a road surrounded by metal fencing. A bare foot steps into panel behind him. Graffiti on the fence reads “ I don’t believe in nothing”

Taken from the comic SHELTER: Early Doors created by Lucy Sullivan

I buy one grandfather clock key on eBay and now I get nothing but ads trying to sell me on burial plots and rest homes.

A pen and ink drawing of Flabber, the ghost from Big Bad Beetleborgs. He has a comically large chin and nose and wears a gaudy jacket.

Colour drawing of Asterix and Obelix. Asterix looks on from the sidelines as Obelix punches someone into the stratosphere - only their sandals remain. The Gaulish village is in the background.

Visually, Number 3 is the most interesting, but it has a dark dramatic theme to it. Number 1 fits the brief best, methinks.

Nothing beats seeing your work in print and it’s as surreal today as it’s ever been. MARVEL: BLACK, WHITE & BLOOD AND GUTS is available now wherever you get your comics and graphic novels. The perfect gift for the horror fan in your life as we head into the spooky season.

Considering buying a Courier Z original page from the excellent @gustaffovargas.bsky.social, but which one do I want? The first page as it actually features Courier Z (plus cool cyberpunk business)? Or the second because of the adorable toilet roll creatures?
