Today is the birthday of artist, writer, animator, & producer Osamu Tezuka (Nov. 3, 1928-Feb. 9, 1989).

need some seed money to start my own manga imprint, gonna call it Yuri O’Clock

I’m pretty sure he makes his bank from actual book sales. his stuff sells in real bookstores, after all, and gets real media coverage, and has since the turn of the century. he escaped the direct market!

where’s the lie?

Six samples of his art, including covers to Spider-Man, Blue Beetle, The Creeper, and Hawk & Dove, as well as a Dr. Strange pinup & a splash page for Mr. A.

Today is the birthday of artist Steve Ditko (Nov. 2, 1927-June 29, 2018). Cocreator or creator of Spider-Man, Dr. Strange, the Question, Blue Beetle (Ted Kord), Mr. A., Hawk & Dove, the Creeper, Captain Atom, Squirrel Girl, & more.

yep, even the fill-in has a couple laughs. excellent series from start to finish.

where’s the lie?

having just rest the entirety of this run I can only say that picking up a full graphic novel’s worth of prime time Evan Dorkin for $1 seems positively criminal, movie tie-in or no

$3 Pick up

yeah, you can see how on paper they maybe thought it was going to work - but then look at when Marvel let Waid do their History. for once they got the memo and gave Javier Rodríguez six issues to cook all by himself. can’t help but make this effort seem kind of sad.

Argus is still in continuity because he was used in Waid’s Flash and they’ll never stop caning that shit

Strike One - Ordway only drawing first issue, I was crestfallen when he wasn’t on #2, mortal error

Strike Two - Not actually a direct sequel, as not written by Harbinger updating the Monitor’s notes

Strike Three - Bloodlines elided

in which the Fantastic Four mark the end of their first year of publication with a number of milestones: not only are they upgraded to monthly publication, but they come in hot with the first super-villain team-up of the Marvel era

Dead carabiner.

to all the ladies I present: a worn-out carabiner keychain.

I didn’t really like most of the choices they made in that series, so much so I think I only saw the first couple seasons. I can’t even remember who they got for Moriarty which is a bad sign, right?

My first Marvel comic. I was 8 and I thought Doctor Doom was the Sub-Mariner because submarines are made of metal. I loved the story and especially the art.

you don’t get such a great opening every day, but I did in fact put together a little book about TMBG a while back, available free to Patreon subscribers and for a small fee for the rest of the world -

This is how I’m gonna look every time someone hits the dislike button one of my posts.
