Incredible Hulk #102, Marvel Comics, April 1968 Marvel Now is getting a lot of press and rightly so. Any time a comic publisher attempts some sort of relaunch fans pay attention. Marvel has had a few famous re-launches in its…
I’m quickly becoming a fan of First Second Publishing and their wonderful graphic novels. After thoroughly enjoying Friends With Boys I spotted Marathon on their publishing schedule but it looked a little too manga-like for my interests so I skipped…

San Diego has come and gone and it’s been a while since I managed to get a column up (anyone want to come to Hamilton and fix my internet? I’ll bring you many sandwiches) so there is a ton of…
Panel layout is one of those features, or more accurately functions, of a comic that goes completely unnoticed unless it breaks out of the established boundaries. The other function that slips by is lettering but that’s a topic for another…
Following on from last week’s Drawing for Comics post, I’d like to continue with my thoughts on creating comics… or more specifically, writing them. Just like we all drew our own comics as children, we’ve all attempted to write our own comics at…
