A Month of Pulitzer Prize Winning Cartoons – Day 31
I thought it would be an interesting look into our nation’s political cartoon history if, this month, I took a look at a different editorial cartoon each day that won the Pulitzer Prize for Editorial Cartooning. Do note that we’re talking basically 1922-1967 here, as since then, the Committee has almost always awarded cartoonists generally [...]

I’d never read this before. On the second page right now. Just felt like sharing, since I know there are other Gerber fans around here. It’s definitely worth a read if you weren’t around when this was the controversy in comics.

Danielle Leigh’s Reading Diary — Black Lagoon vol 5
I have previously reviewed volume 1 of Black Lagoon on this site and thought it was a wild, pulpy, and ultimately enjoyable, ride. Now that Viz is about to release volume 5, how has the series held up?

Scott’s Classic Comics Corner: Gone Too Soon – Bert Christman
You may have heard the name Bert Christman before. Perhaps you haven’t – a quick search of the GCD only reveals only 19 credits, and many of those are reprints. If you have heard of him, it was likely in the context of him co-creating DC’s Sandman. That fact alone would make him a notable [...]

You can’t really review a plot synopsis with photoshopped panels from old comics distributed to comic shops for free, in order to inform people about Wolverine’s convoluted history (and possibly scare them off of ever reading another coming again), because there’s a new movie coming out. Especially when you skimmed the damn thing. That said, [...]
Danielle Leigh’s Reading Diary — Gakuen Prince vol 1
Looking for the next anti-feminist can’t-take-your-eyes-away-from-this-train-wreck shojo manga? (or as I think of it, the next Hot Gimmick?). I think I might have found it in Gakuen Prince….the difference being Gakuen Prince has a much stronger sense of absurdity and fun about its hormone-fueled proceedings and, therefore, is much easier to accept as a pure [...]
