Katie Skelly and the Vampiric Principle of Self-Discovery

October 30, 2017 By David Fairbanks Leave a Comment

Fairbanks: I stopped by Katie Skelly’s table at SPX 2015 and bought a copy of… basically everything, having only seen her art and heard your glowing reviews of her work.

March 22, 2017 By Nick Hanover Leave a Comment

All Time Comics Crime Destroyer

As a dumb kid without much in the way of allowance, most of my early comics acquisitions came from the bargain bin. I was painfully out of the loop when it came to the events of the ’90s and my knowledge of comics history was fragmented and sparse, cribbed from backmatter and little yellow editor […]

Saint, Super Mutants and One Punch Men: The Best Comics of 2015

January 6, 2016 By LoserCityBoss Leave a Comment

Best Comics of 2015

2015 was a crazy year for comics, but it was also a year of creative explosions, with the small press and digital comics spheres in particular showing off incredible material. Most of our favorite comics this year came from creators working outside the confines of the mainstream industry, with boutique presses like Nobrow and Youth […]

100 Best Comics of the 2010s

People tend to reminisce about long gone eras, arguing that things were always better way back when. But when it comes to comics, there’s no denying that the 21st century has seen the medium explode in unprecedented and unpredictable ways. For many people, that has come primarily in the form of the advent of the […]

Yellowed Pages logo

But this week, RJ Casey wanted to try something different, offering up a batch of blurbs on a group of weird old comics he found. Enjoy this detour! Flashmarks by Carel Moiseiwitsch […]

Fluid Exchange: Massive: Gay Erotic Manga and the Men Who Make It

January 12, 2015 By LoserCityBoss Leave a Comment

Massive Gay Erotic Manga and the Men Who Make It
