Choosing the pieces for an art feature is always tough – we are all such big fans of the creators we spotlight, that it makes it hard to pick out pieces that we feel are representative of an artist’s entire career. It is especially hard with a guy like Mike Allred, who has done so many different books. We don’t touch “I, Zombie,” we don’t touch “The Golden Plates,” we don’t touch his work on “Sandman” or “Shade, the Changing Man” or about a million other great projects. But what we are featuring are some things that make his work special – the attention to detail, the joyfulness, the humor, the love of pop culture, the respect for the medium and, of course, the incredible talent. Enjoy!

    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, […]
