Scott’s Classic Comics Corner: Spotlight on Alvin (A.C.) Hollingsworth
February is Black History Month and I thought it would be an appropriate time to shed a little light another African-American comic book pioneer. Last year, I did a piece on Matt Baker, the best known African-American comic book artist of the Silver Age. After Baker, Alvin (A.C.) Hollingsworth may be the second most significant [...]
Comics You Should Own flashback – Avengers Forever
I probably should have written a lot more about Avengers Forever back in the day, but I didn’t. If I wrote this today, this would be twice as long. This post might be a tad short on the details, but I hope it gives you some idea about why this wacky tale is so good!
Aguirre-Sacasa Updating It’s a Bird…It’s a Plane…It’s Superman!
If you remember the Comic Book Legends Revealed from a few weeks back where I discussed the musical It’s a Bird…It’s a Plane…It’s Superman, comic book writer Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa dropped me a line to talk about how he is in the midst of revamping the 1966 musical (music and lyrics by Charles Strouse and Lee [...]

Dear Mr. Huston, As I’m sure you are aware by now, the comics-reading population that resides on the internet has taken considerable umbrage with your recent opinions and behavior, and I number among them, hence the piece you now read. My intent with this letter is not to savage you, insult you, or rail against [...]
Hey, look! It’s a comic starring Hercules!
No, it’s not the Marvel one. It’s the second Hercules mini-series from Radical, subtitled “The Knives of Kush”!

She Has No Head! – Real Love Takes Time
Interestingly enough, though I like Madame Xanadu (both the character and the book), much like my issues with Wonder Woman, she seems a far more appealing character to me in theory than in actual execution thus far. In theory, I love that she’s a strong female protagonist. I love that she is an epic larger than [...]

In celebration of Horny Werewolf Day, enjoy some valentines, a poem, and two contests, under the cut.
Danielle Leigh’s Reading Diary — Sugarholic vol 1-3
The manhwa Sugarholic only looks like a pink-plastered romance. In reality, the “heroine” of comic is so unconventional that she makes traditional courtship rituals seem like pure madness.

Last Friday’s Editorial Consult
Several of my cartooning graduates in the last few years have gone on to do ‘zines of their own. I’m always happy to consult on these efforts if they want me to, and I usually hear from one or another of them whenever they run into some kind of a snag.
Comics Are Awesome #25
I thought about relaunching with a new #1, but I think the fans care about the title’s prestigious history. Special anniversary issue! U-DECIDE the caption!: A.) Game shows are gonna suck in the future. B.) It may defeat the purpose if the doors are transparent. C.) Captain Comet never thought his sexual inclinations would be [...]
