Hi, hello, I wrote a few words today about Silent Pictures, a pair of no-dialogue color comic albums which represent the final works of Kevin Oโ€™Neill, co-creator of Nemesis the Warlock, Marshal Law and The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen.

My conversation last night with @msharkness.bsky.social , @hirosemary.bsky.social , @tilliewalden, and @cashbrowns.bsky.social was so much fun! We really captured something special. Thanks to all four for choosing to work with me. It means more than I can describe.

Sometime last year I just said fuck it, why fight the feeling? I've been buying up his work when I find it cheap.

He's a great example of the "fake auteur" that mainstream comics produce every once in a while. And one of the better ones.

I was surprised how much I enjoyed his OMAC when I reread it

I love Hamilton. He's terribly underrated.

@fantagraphics.bsky.social is having a sale to raise money for their legal battle with JP Morgan Chase and old Diamond.

Chase has legions of lawyers,so please think about visiting Fantagraphics.com and buying some of the best comics ever made!

Art doesn't come with an expiration date, and criticism doesn't, either.

There's a bookstore in Seattle that has their "arty" graphic novels in a separate section called "Graphica". Ugh.

Well, yeah, that goes without saying. I'm always bummed that there are any pictures at all. I'd prefer more captions and word balloons with his glorious prose.
