Just a reminder that you can watch the Broken Frontier Six to Watch panel at @captioncomicfest.bsky.social here on YouTube. I'm not going to watch it because there's a bloke with a really annoying silly voice on it. Can't be me though because I sound nothing like that www.youtube.com/watch?v=OOF8...

Grumpy but fair.

Something new for 2026 at BF: no press release, no coverage. After Dec you *have* to send a press release with accompanying images. I just don't have the time on top of everything else to "make a story out of this".

I don't think it's unreasonable to expect you to write your own press releases!

I'm not sure if this is controversial or not but I find graphic novel/comics reviews with zero accompanying images from the interiors absolutely pointless.

Today, courtesy of an eBay seller, I have finally seen what the free poster in 1970s Marvel UK weekly comics THE TITANS #1 actually looks like and I have to say it's pretty cool.

I had never heard of 1940s Marvel comic WACKY DUCK before today but now I demand they uncancel the Masterworks line so we can have a collection. That cover to #4 below is amazing! Sadly no record of who drew these on the GCD.
