Eternals #1

It remains to be seen if Gillen can actually make the Eternals work. But this is perhaps as good a start as we could have hoped for.

Wonder Woman 1984

There’s stuff to like about Wonder Woman 1984, and some stuff to dislike, but it is all spoiled by one horrible, horrible plot thread.

The New Mutants

New Mutants for Old: The wonder of it is how they took so long applying finishing touches—and still managed to make it look like it was banged out over a weekend by film students at university!

Birds of Prey: And the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn

I really wanted to like this movie a lot. So why didn’t I?

Joker

Joker is not a bad movie, nor is it unworthy of your attention. But it is not the work of genius that it so desperately wishes it were.

World of Flimsy 12

We bid a fond farewell (for now) to Martin Hand’s World of Flimsy with a musical finale!

World of Flimsy Episode 11

It had to happen! Kute Kittehs invade, as World of Flimsy “sells out”! Gasp!

Martin Hand — 30-Aug-14

World of Flimsy Episode 10

A bit of a change of pace. Martin Hand’s misanthropic man-monster, the Flimsy, faces the terror of… the world outside! (Well, for a minute. Then he goes and has a lie down.)

Politically Unsound

The pitfalls of indecisive sexual politics… From Lee Kennedy’s Inner City Pagan, a vintage strip, revisited and coloured by the artist for the first time…

Artist Rachael House Plagiarised by Anti-Fascist Movement

The shoplifting of House’s work demonstrates, sadly, that smug entitlement and complacent pilfering are not the sole prerogative of the right wing;.

Artist Craig Hamilton Injured In Fall

GoFund Me appeal launched by writer Nancy A. Collins to assist with medical expenses.

Steve Lightle, 1959-2021

Archie Comics teams with Rob Liefeld, Deadpool creator, on new superhero series

The new creative partnership aims to place the spotlight on an often overlooked part of the publisher’s library.

Richard Corben, 1940-2020

Corben’s frank and enthusiastic attitude towards nudity, eroticism and violent physicality won him notoriety and acclaim in equal measure

Sandra & Magi: The Only Excuse for Lucy Lane

Readers only ever got to see the bad side of Lucy—to the point where when she was kidnapped and used as a ‘damsel in distress’ prop, it was actually a relief!

All-Amercan Girl: Marvel Comics’ First Super-Heroine!

Unencumbered by a drippy love interest, the Golden Age Miss America took charge and kicked arse on her own initiative—often with lethal results for her foes. Okay, she didn’t actually set out to kill any of them—but if they were collateral damage in battle, she didn’t weep!

“Are You My Daddy?” The strange story of Fishboy, Denizen of the Deep

Thus commenced eight years of a barely-clad, lithe, athletic blond teenage boy, swimming all over the globe, wandering hopefully up to total strangers, and asking them; “Are you my Daddy?”  Talk about looking for love in all the wrong places….

STINGS LIKE A BEE… FLOATS LIKE THE BUTTERFLY!

Undeservingly forgotten, the Butterfly was the first black woman to join the panties and capes party of the Super-Folks.

The End Of Archie?

While Marvel and DC have been thundering along with their usual succession of “Nothing Will Ever Be The Same Again – No, We MEAN It This Time!” events, one comics publisher has been quietly introducing permanent and significant changes. But this risky makeover is not without its downside…

Sisters Are Doin’ It For Planet Earth…

What would Lois Lane have been doing? Probably lining up a back-up husband, in case Superman never came back.

Corto Maltese: In Siberia

While Pratt is justifiably acclaimed for the looseness of his illustration, evident on any page, when it comes to trains that is discarded, as Pratt strives for mechanical exactitude. Every bolt and every rivet is included, and these are magnificent looking beasts, the central spectacle being a battle between them, surely still unique for comics.

HONEYMOON FOR THREE?

Whatever the story behind this is, it’s nowhere as much fun as the captions you make up yourself!
