With his first new comic in eight years, Ditko shows that he's not just a recluse, but a reclusive artist. I'll try my best to get some of these for the store soon. [/topics/arts/comics] permanent link Wed, 12 Mar 2008 Garfield minus Garfield = hilarity Garfield minus Garfield is an experimental comic strip based on the popular strip by Jim Davis. It simply removes the titular character leaving only what appears to be a lonely and confused man living a life of quiet desperation. That kind of thing makes me smile. [/topics/arts/comics] permanent link Tue, 11 Mar 2008 RIP Dave Stevens Dave Stevens died of leukemia today. All I know is, wherever he is a man is a man and the dames are all lookers. Dave seemed to be born a few decades too late, and he never put out a lot of comics, but those he did do are among my very favorite comics of the eighties. I always hoped he'd return to the adventures of Cliff Secord and his stolen rocket pack, but the work he left behind is so great that I'm glad it was never over-exploited. [/topics/arts/comics] permanent link Mon, 10 Mar 2008 this is wrong on several levels From the website: Often disregarded as part of any continuity, Li'l Bruce Wayne was a long-running series of light-hearted comic books aimed at children, detailing the life of a young, fantastically wealthy Bruce Wayne (known in the series as "The Happiest Kid On Earth") in the years before the deaths of Thomas and Martha Wayne and his subsequent transformation into Batman The series was originally created by Bill Finger and Jerry Robinson to fill a gap in DC's publishing schedule after the cancellation of More Fun Comics in 1946, and ran through the majority of the Silver Age despite being regarded by editors and fans alike as being "extremely depressing" [citation needed] and is usually left out of any discussion of the character. It is notable, however, as being the first published comic book work of writer/artist Frank Miller. [/topics/arts/comics] permanent link who do you trust?
