Scott’s Classic Comics Corner: The Short Life of Skywald
Every now and then, I take a look at an old comic book publisher. This time around, Skywald takes center stage.
A Year of Cool Comics – Day 130
Here is the latest in our year-long look at one cool comic (whether it be a self-contained work, an ongoing comic or a run on a long-running title that featured multiple creative teams on it over the years) a day (in no particular order whatsoever)!

- by Brian Cronin
- in General
- 26 Comments
The other day I listed the Greatest Steve Englehart Stories Ever Told (as voted on by you, the fans), and I noticed that a good portion of commenters were curious about what collections they could read to get the acclaimed Englehart stories. So I figured I would make a reading guide of all the books [...]
A review a day: Sand & Fury
I suppose the official name is Ho Che Anderson’s Sand & Fury: A Scream Queen Adventure, but who wants to type that? Oh, wait, I just did. Moving on!
Frazetta Tribute – His Warren Covers and a Shining Knight Story
In honor of the passing of the great artist, I figured it would be worthwhile to show a sampling of his work so that people not familiar with him could see why he was held in such high esteem by so many. I think his covers for Warren are probably the simplest way of showing [...]
R.I.P. Frank Frazetta
We just lost one of the all-time greats, as Frank Frazetta passed away earlier today. Frazetta was 82 years old. Our condolences to his fans, friends and family. We put up a tribute to Frazetta here for those of you unfamiliar with his work.
She Has No Head! – Linda Medley’s Castle Waiting
Castle Waiting. Linda Medley (creator/writer/artist). Fantagraphics. 457p. $29.95. I was planning to write about the first issue of the new Spider-Girl mini-series, whether I loved it or not, but I just couldn’t gear myself up for a full column slamming it. It was so incredibly mediocre and uninteresting, and completely what doesn’t inspire me about [...]

A review a day: The Night Owls
I’m buying the cow even though I can get the milk for free! I’m just kooky that way!
Sunday Brunch: 5/9/10
This week’s episode of Sunday Brunch is like buying a gallon of skim milk instead of a quart of whole. So you get all the fatty comments from me cut off, but a whole lot of comics nutrients. Something like that, anyway. QUESTION OF THE WEEK: If Batman was a flower, what flower would Batman [...]
