What else can be said about the King of Comics? Not much – especially not from someone like me, who can barely draw a stick figure. This is an incredibly hard feature to put together because of just how much work the man did – so, instead of trying to be a complete survey of the man’s work, think of this as rather the first course of a multi-course meal – but sadly, I’m only feeding you the first course. You have to go forage for the rest yourself.

    Artist August: Tom Scioli [Art Feature]

    Full disclosure: I had another artist slated for this spot up until quite recently. I went with a pick that I felt was an important artist in the history of comics, and was excited to spotlight their work. However, when I started collecting pieces, I felt nothing.

    Artist August: Liz Prince [Art Feature]

    By | Aug 29, 2014 | Columns

    Liz Prince’s comics are exactly the type of comics I want to see more of in the world. Her work lies somewhere between the self-reflection of Jeffery Brown and the raucous energy of James Kochalka, examining herself and her surroundings through the lens of a humorist.
