I had a super time at @octocon.bsky.social this weekend!

I'm now exhausted, and would like to spend the rest of the month in bed. (I have no more cons until November!)

A really, really nice review of my beloved DC's MISFITS OF MAGIC. I'm incredibly proud of this book and it remains the most fun I've ever had making a comic book.

I recently read DC’s Misfits of Magic by @matthewdowsmith.bsky.social, which stars teen-aged versions of Dr. Occult, Blue Devil, Deadman, and Enchantress. It’s a fun riff on DC’s magic users, and a perfect YA graphic novel for this Halloween season 🎃

Continuing my look at spooky themed books this month, today I look at DC's Misfits of Magic , which is from the latest series of their grap...

According to Facebook, 3 years ago today I finished writing my 50th novel.

I am now in the middle of my 60th. 😊

There is a story of a widow woman & her daughters, Snow White & Rose Red, the most darling little girls who had ever lived.

This is not—quite—that story.

honestly part of me wants to just spend about six months copying elfquest again like i did when i was 11 :D

CE (Catie) Murphy @cemurphy.bsky.social · 1d

oh my GOD, that REFLECTION 😍😍😍

I'm really glad my posts have been ... something, at least. Instead of just tedious. I really feel like I've been going on incessantly and am not at all interesting. <3
