Our archive now has three dozen unique works of comic art in it, available to all to read for free. Updated weekly, go browse: nycartoonlibrary.org/archive.html

We still have until 5/2027, but there's a real chance the overall library project will not reach its goal & the money raised will be refunded. If you want to see this archive grow AND access it in a physical place--in NYC, the birthplace of comics--please donate! www.gofundme.com/f/support-th...

The Jam Super Cool Color-Injected Turbo Adventure From HELL is a at once an exemplar of 80s revisionist super heroics and like nothing else out there.

Youtube messed with the original file, so I have reposted this discussion of Bernie Mireault's The Jam: Super Cool Color-Injected Turbo Adventure From HELL (1988) www.youtube.com/watch?v=dz5A...

New PULLED FROM THE BINS short video up now, on the late Bernie Mireault’s early blast of full color comics power: youtu.be/n6Fr-oBPQ9A #comicbooks #altcomics #80scomics #grendel

How I imagine myself when I’m drumming.

Update and correction on our Grendel coverage! Thread contains some cool comparisons between the original colors and what’s been redone for the collections. Once again (opinion) trying to apply current color technology and aesthetics to older work creates an odd kind of uncanny valley.

A few years back, @mikedawson.bsky.social and I had a comics interview podcast, and it was pretty good. We talked to a wide swath of a lot of different kinds of cartoonists, various professionals and critics over the couple years it ran. Here's a 3GB DL of it all: www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/b31j4...

The old link is dead, so here's the entirety of the extremely hard to find Koji Shiraishi found footage horror SENRITSU KAIKI FILE KOWASUGI! series. It's unavailable anywhere legitimate and is one of the greatest things ever. Enjoy. drive.google.com/drive/folder...

This is so good. Even if you dislike/don't care about Crumb (although it's great on him: 'his characters resemble somebody’s intrusive thoughts wearing skin'), it's some of the best writing about specialized sex work that I've read
