I'm trying to commission an illustrator who will turn somebody's PhD (on the subject of history solidarity / peace / anti-nuclear warfare in the 1980s) into a comic book strip / big cartoon-y poster. Not sure sure where to go looking - any ideas?
This graphic novel is a pure marvel ! From the perfect adaptation of Richard Adams' classic by James Sturm to the incredible art by Joe Sutphin, it is a very beautiful book ! I absolutely love the illustrations and all the details showing the epic journey of a group of rabbits in a search of home. It is absolutely mind blowing !
Detail from “Things Old…Things Forgotten” with an unnamed swamp creature by Bernie Wrightson, House of Mystery #195, October 1971. This is after House of Secrets #92 (first Swamp Thing) but before Swamp Thing #1 with the updated origin.
No one ever called Otto Binder #BOTD (1911-1974) lazy.
Writer of the Adam Link, Robot series in the pulps which were a huge inspiration to #Asimov and others. Then drifted to comics with long runs at Fawcett and DC and short runs at most others. DC editor E. Nelson Bridwell assessed Binder’s total output at "almost 50,000 pages of comics".

I love Ben Hatke’s graphic novels ! I discovered his work about a decade ago with Zita the Spacegirl and I really loved it. His newest work, Things in the Basement, is to be published in a few days. As usual, a perfectly normal kid finds himself in an extraordinary situation and lots of strange and exciting things happen.
I dreamed that I leaned against a countertop at a public park and came away covered in blood. But then I found a container of fake blood and realized there was some sort of elaborate setup going on… and maybe I shouldn’t read so much #JunjiIto before bed. #manga#books#graphicnovels#comicbooks@bookstodon#bookstodon
It is certainly a very fun read, perfect for fans of Wednesday or Sabrina The Teenage Witch. It is deliciously dark and I enjoyed how the themes of friendship and belonging are explored in the story.
This was a great graphic novel to read. It dives in on how we tell stories to one another and how it gets passed down from one person to the next. And tie it with the Protestant Reformation was a nice touch and made this historical story more thought-provoking and relatable. But not only was the story great to read, the artwork was wonderful to look at and made the story come to life.
