This is the best podcast in the universe!!!
Job hunting in August has proven especially futile so I've been trying to use the extra time to come up with better ways to effectively market/pitch patreon.com/sfultra. Sadly, I keep just making shit like this instead.

I was pleased to assist in proofreading the super-deluxe issue #2 of “dummy,” the editorial project of longtime comics-focused journalist and museum director John Kelly. It’s 92 pages dedicated to a century of artists parodying America’s best friend, Mickey Mouse. Recommended!

ATTN all shivering vampires, I wrote a little about Anthology Editions’ new, first-ever English publication of 1967’s Saga de Xam, a notable early adult-oriented French comic album from artist Nicolas Devil, working from scenarios by soon-to-be cult filmmaker Jean Rollin.

Hi, I have a long article up today about Kazuichi Hanawa, artist of grotesque, folkloric, metaphysical comics, sometimes all at once, who’s just had two books published in English: Red Night from Breakdown Press (which the article is mostly about) and Light of the Moon from The Mansion Press. ENJOY.
