You might remember back in the autumn Rod McKie of this parish put me on to some lovely artwork Betsy Streeter had been developing for her Lost Queen graphic novel – there was some terrific art to admire on Betsy’s Flickr already.

Batton Lash, creator of the Wolff and Byrd, Counsellors Of The Macabre, has a new storyline on his Wolff & Byrd webcomic, featuring Chris Corrigan, Scariest Kid On Earth. Sounds familiar? Take a look…… Given the amount of mentions it’s been receiving, Lash’s take on Chris Ware seems to have done the trick publicity wise. It’s [...]

The good news: Stephen R Bissette has a new webcomic. The bad news, it’s not a continuation of his great, unfinished magnum opus Tyrant. However, anything by Bissette is well worth checking out.

I’ve been following Mike Smith’s Blogshank blog for quite a while now. It’s never less than a wry, gentle smile of a strip, often a full on smile and sometimes, just like the example above – absolutely hilarious.
