I’m pleased to introduce you folks to a new contributor to Comics Should Be Good, my pal, Scott, who I first asked to do stuff on the blog quite awhile back, but only recently did his schedule open up to where he has the time to contribute. He currently maintains a neat blog called Seduction of the Indifferent.
Scott will be doing a weekly column every Tuesday called, as of right now, Scott’s Classic Comics Corner, where he’ll discuss, you guessed it - classic comics (up to and including the 80s, which is freakishly a long time ago - it’s been, what, 28 years since New Teen Titans #1 came out?). If you’ve read Seduction of the Indifferent, it’ll basically be like that.
He also, of course, can post whenever else he feels like it, but Tuesdays will be when you know you’ll see him.
Scott is the first evil furiner that I believe we’ve had on the blog, as Scott hails from Toronto, so that will explain his terrible spelling choices like “colour” or “favourite.”
His first column will be up next week, but I thought a neat idea would be to re-post a series Scott has been doing on CBR’s Classic Comics Forum where he looks at underappreciated comic artists, so each day until next week, I’ll be posting one of Scott’s past columns and then next Tuesday, we’ll see Scott’s first all-new column.
Welcome, Scott!

Aha! I see Lone R- … er, Scott … is workiing to cultivate a new audience because he’s concerned that his usual Classic Comics forum cohorts will soon be succumbing to senility &/or death.

I think this is good news, and I enjoyed the article already posted about Ramona Fradon. You have a talent for picking good writers.
Now, my hope is that you’ll get somebody to do a webcomics-focused weekly column. At least for me, that’s a big remaining hole at CSBG.
I suppose a newspaper-strip column would be good for completeness, too, but I don’t pay much attention to those, so that lack of coverage here doesn’t bother me as much.
C’mon, Brian, all comics should be good, not just the ones in the comics shops.
