This is a cool series. Our Gary Usher reviewed the latest issues of FIZZLE here. www.brokenfrontier.com/fizzle-whit-...

A four panel comic: Panel 1. Whit Taylor runs to Neil Brideau with a stack of drawings, Neil is eating a sandwich. Whit says "Here it is, Neil! The sixth and final issue of Fizzle!" To which Neil says "Oh Wow!" Panel 2. Flipping through the drawings, Neil says "These pages look great, Whit! I can't wait to read and publish it! What an accomplishment!" "Thanks!" Whit Replies. Panel 3. Whit continues, "It's wild to think after ten years, I'm finally done with the series!" "Congratulations!" Neil exclaims. Panel 4. Whit thinks out loud, "I'm going to try to get issue seven done by the spring." To which Neil flops over stunned!

Elijah Brubaker, 1975-2025 - The Comics Journal Austin English collects remembrances from the friends and colleagues of the Reich and Story of Jezebel author, who died on Aug. 28 at the age of 50.

News of it never circulated here, but @elijahbrubaker.bsky.social died a few weeks back. I have a few words in this piece for the Comics Journal, reflecting on his work and mourning his loss.
