We’ve lost Drew Struzan. A modern master, who by all accounts was a humble, sweet, loving, dedicated man. His work influenced culture itself, & we’ll be seeing that influence until the end of the modern world. What a legacy. What a body of work. May he rest well, & may his memory be a blessing.

One of my favorite recent comics, DIE, is rolling back onto shelves. DIE: LOADED from @kierongillen.bsky.social & @stephaniehans.bsky.social is the intersection of Pet Sematary, The Sisters Of Mercy, and the most harrowing D&D game you ever played.

Tell your local comic shop you need it.

DIE: Loaded

The sequel to the three-times Hugo-nominated, award winning dark fantasy comic, DIE.

I Read Comics! @ireadcomics.bsky.social · 1d

I just read what seems to be a perfect first issue.

The Author Immortal begins in 1953 with what appears to be E.L. Vossler—the author of the 12-book YA series that began with The Mage’s Apprentice—committing suicide before a depiction of his daughter, Alethea. It’s a touching sequence.

The story…

The cover of The Author Immortal #1 shows Hector Ramirez in a suit (no tie) next to his daughter (who seems to be trans male and uses they/them pronouns) Alethea (goes by Al) in front of an open tome that is dripping with some black material. Between them is a knife with a feathered handle, like a quill. It’s the one author E.L. Vossler used to commit suicide early in the issue. Behind them is a gaping maw with white teeth. Art by Morgan Breem.

Author E.L. Vossler touches a portrait (?) or depiction of his daughter, Alethea. He thinks, “This was about you. Forgive me, Alethea. Wherever your souls has gone, I hope you never forget my love.” Art by Morgan Breem, words by Frank J. Barbiere.
