Hello all new followers. I research ideology in comics (all books and articles can be found here: www.robertaman.se/forskning/). I also write about comics for newspapers and magazines such as The Comics Journal. Those texts are listed here: www.robertaman.se/kulturjourna...

Perhaps. I’ll keep it in mind for the future.

Indeed. But it’d be a thick book, ans I guess Cobolt’s slight attempt to reprint some as part of the book on Gohs didn’t sell enough.

News of it never circulated here, but @elijahbrubaker.bsky.social died a few weeks back. I have a few words in this piece for the Comics Journal, reflecting on his work and mourning his loss.

Men jösses vad tråkigt. Krya på dig, Christian!

I'll try to submit sometime next month and then there's usually a month or two before it gets published. In other words, probably at the end of the year.

Robert Aman @robertaman.bsky.social · 22d

Indeed! There will be more photos in the published interview.

Indeed! And perhaps Stockholm's International Comics Festival in May could be of interest?

Robert Aman @robertaman.bsky.social · 24d

Oh la la!

Robert Aman @robertaman.bsky.social · 24d

It was good to see you there, David.

While in Helsinki, I paid @mattihagelberg.bsky.social a visit in his studio to talk about his career in comics, spanning over 30 years, and the big book of his that hopefully will soon be out in English. The interview will appear in @comicsjournal.bsky.social

There’s quite a lot of stuff in English too. Tommi Musturi’s stocks some cool and hard to get stuff from the US, there’s also Kus, Conondrum press and more. Some of the Finnish comics also comes with translations.
