Comics master Joe Kubert died this past Sunday at age 85.  He leaves behind a lifetime’s worth of amazing, genre-spanning stories, two amazingly talented sons, Andy and Adam, and the legendary Kubert School, the first institution dedicated solely to the art form of comics and storytelling.

We’ve seen a number of touching memorials over the last three days, so we’ll forego reiterating what everyone else is saying already.  Instead, as part of our Artist August celebration, we’d like to present a small tribute to Joe Kubert and his unparalleled work as a cover artist for DC Comics.

    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. The work, while incredible, didn’t resonate with me […]

    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. Her comics are easily digestible while simultaneously impactful and thought provoking, […]
