Comic-ish

Wednesday, March 9, 2011

Comments Off

Sari Hodirker drops us a line to tell us about a new site, Comic-ish, which, as the name might imply, isn’t just straight comics but a “words and illustration boutique” (which I like the sound of). It isn’t so much regular comics, but it does “offer varied ‘comic-ish’ projects, from illustrated short stories to serial [...]

Comments Off

Chris Brawn tells me that he is working on a new webcomic, Most Favoured by the Gods. The subject matter isn’t the most common for a webcomic, but it is one close to my heart as someone who loved doing Classical Studies back in the day, as the strip is based on the work of [...]

Tuesday, January 18, 2011

Comments Off

The fine Dan Goldman is continuing and expanding his Red Light Properties online comic series which started life serialised on Tor.com. I’m a bit biased since I love Dan’s other work, but I really enjoyed the first series of RLP, an intriguing blend of comment on the financial disaster and property meltdown in the US [...]

1 Comment

Jennifer McMahon and Dom Conlon pointed me to this delightfully creepy short horror comic tale by Emily Carroll, His Face All Red. A rural pub scene, happy drinkers, warm atmosphere and one figure standing a little apart, regarding the man who is the centre of attention as usual, his far more popular brother. Except he [...]
