A Month of Pulitzer Prize Winning Cartoons – Day 12
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 [...]

Don McPherson has an interesting piece up looking at a “National Book of the Year” comic award that I do not know if most of us are aware of, and if you are, I do not know if you’d be familiar with what qualifies as “books of the year.”

Cass Sherman (I mentioned yesterday that I’d have something more from him today) has created an excellent annotation website for Morrison’s Batman run. You can check it out here. I either knew most of it, or read about it when Tim Callahan did his annotations for Morrison’s Batman, but really, this is an excellent job [...]

Uncanny X-Men #27?!?! Seriously, Marvel.com, you probably should have just canceled the whole “Readers vote on the Top 70 Marvel Comics of All Time” if you got so few ballots cast that Uncanny X-Men #27 is 41st (Fantastic Four #5 at #60, by the way – House of M #8 is #59). Lord knows how [...]

Reader Cass Sherman (I’ll have something more from Cass tomorrow) wrote in with a comment about Tomm Coker’s cover for Spider-Man Extra #3. Here is Coker’s cover and a poster for the film Spider-Man 2… There must be a dearth of good Spider-Man web-swinging poses! EDITED TO ADD: I figured it would be clear just [...]

I Just Found This Out- Morrison Returns To Batman! With Quitely! In A New Series!

The mother ship and IGN both have info. IGN has the first cover. It sounds like it’s part of Batman’s “new direction.” I’d prefer an All-Star style approach to continuity. And to be totally honest, I’d prefer a creator owned (or at least non-superhero) work out of these two, especially after RIP and (especially) Final [...]
