Highly recommended: this long piece by Alex Dueben on 30 years of James Robinson’s Starman. @comicsjournal.bsky.social
We are all in the gutter: Starman at 30, part 1 - The Comics Journal
Starman is 30 years old? Where did the time go? Good thing Alex Dueben is here to do a deep dive on this influential James Robinson/Tony Harris superhero series.

I think if Canada wants to have a strong cultural identity we need to go back to doing what we're best at, making the weirdest fucking TV shows you've ever seen

If writing is so easy why do people argue that they can’t do it without the pablumatic verbiage extruder

And if it’s so difficult then why do people think it’s not labour and writers are not workers

Also, please share @tychebooks.bsky.social book posts because she is one of the few Canadian small presses left AND she pays everyone on time and in full. And people are stealing my book she published.

Rebecca Heineman's last message was for people to look up her departed partner, Jennell Jaquays.

Jaquays was so influent to tabletop RPGs that "Jaquaysing" became a verb for designing complex, non-linear dungeons.

Back when I worked at Time magazine I wrote a piece calling George R.R. Martin “the American Tolkien.” Is it true? Who knows. WHAT AFTER ALL IS TRUTH REALLY.

But in my house, when I was a kid, the American Tolkien was Fritz Leiber. substack.com/home/post/p-...
That Other American Tolkien
When I was a child, the novels of Fritz Leiber were way more important to me than The Hobbit or The Lord of the Rings. If anything Tolkien was the British Leiber

Head on over and support this Canadian small press by clicking "NOTIFY ME ON LAUNCH" (right hand side of the pretty mushrooms). It won't be launching until 2026, but it helps ye ol' algorithm to smash the button.
