Scott’s Classic Comics Corner: Underappreciated Artist Spotlight – Bob Fujitani
If you have never heard the name Bob Fujitani, you are in for a real treat. As far as Golden Age greats go, he may be the most ‘under the radar’ of them all. His work is as prolific as it is exquisite, but his name rarely seems to come up in conversations about the [...]

Comics You Should Own – Major Bummer
Sigh. Another series that was too cool to live. But those often make great comics, because the creators can go all out!
She Has No Head! – Brian Michael Bendis And Alex Maleev’s Scarlet
Scarlet #1. Brian Michael Bendis (writer/creator). Alex Maleev (artist/creator). Chris Elipoulos (letters/production). Icon. 40 pages. $3.95 Alias buys you a lot of credit in my house. Powers does too. A lot of people, when they hear Brian Michael Bendis’ name, they think “Avengers” and then maybe a string of expletives. But I didn’t read that [...]

Box of Comics: After Dark #0 & The Royal Historian of Oz #1
- by Bill Reed
- in Comic Reviews
One foolproof way to guarantee my purchase of a new comic book single is to only charge one (1) American dollar for it. (As a wise man once said, “I’d buy that for a dollar!“) The first-one’s-a-buck philosophy has been floating around comics for a few years now, providing a spike in sales and awareness, [...]
Artists Alley Acquisitions: Philadelphia Comic Con 2010
By Rich Chapell It’s a tough gig, being an independent comics’ creator. There’s no money in it, especially at first. You have to be able to stick to a schedule and get your book out on time, hoping to build an audience, while at the same time working a day job to pay the printer [...]

What I bought – 8 July 2010
Actually, his statement in its entirety was, “The rich are the most discriminated-against minority in the world. Openly or covertly, everybody hates the rich because, openly or covertly, everybody envies the rich. Me, I love the rich. Somebody has to love them. Sure, a lot o’ rich people are assholes, but believe me, a lot [...]

Blue Moon Reviews — Saturn Apartments, Vol. 1
In this low-key, dystopic sci-fi story, a boy named Mitsu takes up his missing father’s occupation as a window washer in the hopes that it will yield answers about his disappearance, or maybe just life in general.
