Here’s an Idea for a Funhouse: Pay the Damn Cartoonists

April 3, 2018 By Austin Lanari 2 Comments

Funhouse

Do cartoonists deserve to be paid for their labor? It’s a yes or no question. And, frankly, it doesn’t seem to be a very hard question. But I’ll give you a minute. A week before my writing this, Brooklyn comic book store Desert Island and the SoHo based Drawing Center put on an event called […]

Irene #6 is an Ambitious, Remarkably Eclectic Anthology

November 16, 2015 By Nick Hanover Leave a Comment

Irene

I received the sixth installment of the impressively eclectic zine Irene an embarrassingly long time ago. There is no real excuse for why it has taken me so long to get around to writing it up, but if we’re removing my inability to comprehend the passing of time from the equation, the reason is that it’s simply […]

Till the Blood Runs Red: Katie Skelly’s My Pretty Vampire

October 21, 2015 By Keith Silva Leave a Comment

Katie Skelly hits all the ‘feels.’ Her comics bristle with verve, emotion and an ‘it’ factor best expressed as je ne sais quoi. What’s easier, by far, to say (and see) is how she has honed her craft. Skelly is a cartoonist on the rise as her peers have confirmed. With Nurse Nurse, her 2012 […]

Electric Candyland Brings Heart to Mathematical Style

September 23, 2015 By Nick Hanover Leave a Comment

Electric Candyland Jesse Tise

Comics has had a number of Wild Wests over the years, frontiers where rules are broken or ignored and outlaws flee the mainstream to carve out new niches. The ’60s had the comix crowd, the ’80s had the small press boom and the advent of the internet has brought the webcomic, a frontier that grows […]

Yellowed Pages: The Residents’ Freak Show

August 25, 2015 By Nick Hanover Leave a Comment

  Sometimes we just want to talk about old comics we found in bargain bins or antique stores or in our garages. Is that so wrong? In this installment, we look back at Dark Horse’s 1992 collaboration with The Residents, Freak Show, which brought together the world’s most mysterious band and an awe inspiring line-up of […]

Anatomy of a Page: Owen Gieni’s Negative Space #1

July 22, 2015 By LoserCityBoss Leave a Comment

Negative Space Owen Gieni

Comics are a visual medium, but so often criticism of the medium hinges on narrative, ignoring or minimizing the visual storytelling and unique structures that make comics so different from cinema and photography. We’ve decided to change that up with a feature that we’re calling Anatomy of a Page, in which we explore pages and […]

Poetry Magazine Rattle Expects Cover Artists to Work on Spec

March 18, 2015 By David Fairbanks Leave a Comment

Update and a response from Rattle at the bottom.   Poetry isn’t the big money game it once was, but there are still a few magazines that command a bit of respect, paying their contributors for poems and running contests that could help fund the lifestyle of a writer alongside adjunct teaching gigs or copywriting. […]
