It’s been a little while since I checked out the most recent postings on Better, Drawn, the site that showcases comics works addressing mental and physical health issues.

0 Comments

Gordon Robertson and Cuttlefish have been documenting a health topic that affects a great many (especially men) and yet it’s one quite often we’re all dreadfully embarrassed to discuss, not just the dreaded C word of cancer, but the variety which strikes at our nether regions combining potentially fatal condition with social embarrassment. The guys [...]

Webcomics to watch… Papabears and Dirk Davies

I’m really a bad, bad webcomic follower, never manaing to keep up to date, always seem to forget about things, resulting in (sometimes) a mass catch up every so often. But I did like the looks of these two I saw this week, one because I know the writer, the other thanks to Tom Spurgeon: First up [...]

I’ve been browsing through several strips since Cinebook posted a link to it on their twitter and really enjoying it, a nice mix of the real world diary approach with [...]

Eric Orchard points us towards the start of this Strip, Snowbob by Ed Bickford, on the Very Mint webcomic collective (worth a wee browse through some of the other creators on offer there too, but this single frame really did catch my eye).

I’ve already mentioned Saturday Morning Webtoons when talking about Andi Watson’s continuing serialisation of his Princess At Midnight. You should be reading it. But I hadn’t really had any time to investigate further, until now. There’s at least two really great little strips on Webtoons… J. Torres; Gobukan. Loved J. Bone since seeing his work [...]

This is rather wonderful…. Supermagic Mutant Academy by Jilian Tamaki. Seen thanks to Sean T. Collins at The Comics Journal. I could tell you about it, but here’s Sean… “Certainly the best take on YA comics I’ve read in ages, insofar as it’s thoroughly appealing to me, a man in his mid-30s, cartoonist Jillian Tamaki’s SuperMutant [...]

Cunningham channels his inner-Miller…..

Saturday, March 10, 2012

Comments Off

Darryl Cunningham‘s The Fist started over at Act-i-vate recently, and so far it’s been a Miller-esque dark avenger sort of thing, with a right wing sounding bloke in a grey body suit bounces across rooftops complaining inwardly about all the ills of society… but it’s quickly made clear that The Fist isn’t very well. Either [...]

You know, it’s getting to the stage with Douglas Noble where I just don’t question anymore, I’m just along for the ride. His work usually impresses, intrigues, frustrates, confuses, fascinates, and generally leaves me wondering what I’ve missed whilst still making me really enjoy it. But his latest; Battle Hymn, I know is going to [...]
