Truly grateful and appreciative for the opportunity to hold our first teaching the Grateful Dead professional learning day this past November. Good to know that so many NYC educators will help to teach the legacy of Bob Weir and the Dead to future generations.

Jack Kirby's boyhood home, in what was then the squalid Lower East Tenement District. Still standing. The brick building, 147 Essex St.
"I hated the place," remembered Kirby.

A reminder that there are other comics out there that isn't Marvel and DC. Next time you're at a LCS or scrolling any of the digital spaces, try a new idea.
For example, Death to Pachuco #3 by @ohhhaeee.bsky.social, Lee Loughridge, and myself will be out this Wednesday. bindings.app/read/388LyCnO

Medieval promo with art by Alex cormack in the background showing the lead on a horse with his baseball bat - in the front is a Kindle Colorsoft in black featuring a page from the Medieval comic book. The medieval logo is at the top in white and in blue it says “he’s stuck in Camelot without his phone, without his girl, and without a way back home. Now to get to New York baseball fan Danny Landau is going #$%ing” which then leads into the medieval logo. Under that is says in blue and red, "Five issues of mature-readers Arthurian baseball comics from Neil Kleid, Alex Cormack, and Sarah Litt. Bronx, baseball, Britain, baby." Then it shows the Comixology originals and migdal comics logos in blue and says “Next week!” in red
To get home to New York from Camelot, time lost baseball fan Danny Landau is going f---ing MEDIEVAL.
Issue #1 is out TUESDAY from me, @alexcormack.bsky.social @sarahstarlitt.bsky.social & @comixology.bsky.social Originals.
