I love folk raving about @sispurrier.bsky.social work ( especially when it’s folk as equally talented and smart as Pornsak ) because he’s one of the nicest people in comics and honestly I just don’t think he gets the flowers he deserves often enough ( ditto what Pornsak said about TVSK )

The audacity of using AI on an adaptation of an Alberto Breccia comic... a guy who went to any lengths to pursue new ways of analog texturing his work. He made comics of nothing but cut up construction paper, he embroidered landscapes in his panels, and inked with fucking razor blades

Sorry for the hot take, but middle-aged white dudes making comics who have made more money from those comics than the vast majority of other current comic book creators combined complaining about the "woke" in comics will never not be just pathetic.

The new book from @morrighani.bsky.social has just plopped through my door - thanks @camraofficial.bsky.social. Expect a review soon, probably with some grunting about ‘why I don’t like beer festivals’. I can tell you now, though, that’s a wonderful cover by @simonjgane.bsky.social

Oh, my copy’s literally just arrived too! Congrats again @morrighani.bsky.social and thank you Phil, v kind.
