The ethos of #SupermanDay is helping those who need it when you can.

I made a list of 75 trans & nonbinary comics creators, with links for where to support them. I've also listed notable works, and a bookshop.org author link.

Please consider support if you can!

Makes you think

Comic Book Herald @comicbookherald.bsky.social · 1h

If Alan Moore is such a grouch who hates comics, why is he so frequently loving the medium and giving pull quotes any creator would die for?

I really did not ever think I'd be in meetings discussing the safety of going to the office because the president of the United States is attacking American cities.

Some rare strategic thinking from the Cebluski administration.

Good things should end.

"That's the point – the smudge, the rough line, the hesitation - that's what makes my work come alive." - Jim Lee talking about why DC will never use AI storytelling. "AI doesn't dream, feel or make art, it aggregates it."

I've written in to every issue of Alpha Flight published since I was born. Never published. Marvel's too scared to publish the TRUTH.

New to CBH's Best of 2025

Cannon by Lee Lai @dandq.bsky.social

Cannon will unquestionably get the "slice-of-life" label, but that undersells the actualization of the lives that Lai builds here, the kind of ear and eye for life that makes you wonder if this fiction could actually be autobiography.

He would never do it but Bill Watterson would absolutely kill it on this.

Or Stan Sakai...

Every year, Marvel and DC should subsidize a cartoonist emeritus to produce an annual, 12 issue take on the universe. Any characters they want, anything is on the table. One year and out.

These would be the best selling graphic novels from either every year.

Chicago-area folks. Did you know there is a dedicated website for banned books events in and around the city? It's chicagobannedbooks.org and right now, it redirects to FB...but it will have its own content soon.

Here's what events are on tap for next week: www.facebook.com/events/17104...

I was prepared for a lot of things as a parent. And of course I was prepared to be unprepared for many more.

But nothing could have prepared me for a toddler mimicking elementary school kids singing '6 7' and my wife and I looking at each other's faces simultaneously Dorian Graying

I believe that with just another $730 billion, our nation's top tech geniuses can build an innovative system which fills out spreadsheets at roughly the same rate that Brandon Weeden completed passes

I'd like to retract any claims I made yesterday that "there's nothing better than October baseball with the Cubbies!" This is, in fact, the worst. It's possible/probable I was misquoted.
