Wildly weird, wonderfully bizarre. You will not want to miss out on this craziness, believe me. The writing is great, the art is gorgeous. What more could you want in a comic?

PHANTOM OF THE OPERA is a delicately gorgeous and wildly unnerving work worthy of its famous title. @martinsimmonds.bsky.social's art dances through the story while @tylerboss.bsky.social's writing grabs you by the throat. My favorite horror comic in a long, long time.
FOC is today so order it now!

We love @eharburn.bsky.social. Editors deserve their flowers! (Feel free to send a headshot Eric!)
One of the most reliable ways I find new comics is by following editors who work on books I love and seeing what else they’ve worked on.
Guess what? @sweetshop.app lets me do exactly that!

I just wish making comics and posting art was enough.
I don’t want to subject my face & voice to public scrutiny for a revolving door of video trends I have to *shoot & edit myself,* & hope that it makes me hashtag-relatable enough to sell a book. I want my book to relate to ppl on its own merit.

As more and more creators are expected to be on camera to promote their comics, can we talk for a second about how this opens up female creators to intense harassment about their looks?
Not to mention a lot of "You only have a career in comics because you're good looking" comments?

Genuinely the only thing keeping me going—but it really is keeping me going—is how good it is to see people link arms and push for this to end.
I cannot stop thinking about how much love people can have for their neighbors, and how much work and money is poured into breaking that love apart.
