Kody is one of the best people in comics. Full stop.

You won't find anyone kinder, friendly or more supportive of the comics making community. He's been one of my most reliable friends in comics for years and someone who well and truly deserves all the support in the world. Lend a hand.

So just once again reiterating, if you wanna be a patron of my art, every dollar of your support goes really, REALLY far in making a tangible difference in my life.

"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 talk about Galaxy non-stop because a) me , @deuxdel.bsky.social and @airy.bsky.social created her and b) I still get people who are surprised to hear that that this trans lesbian superstar is a major presence in BAD DREAM and HAWKGIRL.

All right, just turned in the last strips of my second year on FLASH GORDON. That's 730 installments in the bag -- appearing in a rough average of 1.5 panels per strip, I've drawn Flash about 1,095 times. Still takes me a couple tries to get his hair right. Tomorrow we start on year three ⚡

Flash Gordon and Prince Thun take on a squad of green-skinned Shark Men

And old man looks up at a mural of Flash Gordon crossing swords with Ming the Merciless.

Flash Gordon frees Edda from her locked helmet, and the mechanic can't help herself from laying a smooch on him.

Flash Gordon negotiates with Empress Aura. "Tch. Fine," she sneers, conciliating. "Savior of the Universe..."

He smiles back. "You love it."

Check out what can be accomplished by changing the size of the protagonist's figure throughout the page. Makes time changes less dependent on panel borders, creates depth that defies the flat plane of the page, & makes a talking heads page into a journey. Superb acting, also. Garcia-Lopez & Janson.

It remains shockingly easy to collect all of Galaxy's major appearances.

The number 13, in front of a creepy looking dude in a victorian coat. Oh, and his hand has some sort of weird energy coming out of it. Which is probably bad.

“Hothead Paisan” remains perhaps the most iconic of all the underground queer comics from the ’90s. Beloved by fans for its mix of old-timey cartoon violence with the struggles of queer existence, it gives expression to lesbian rage, Jo Livingstone writes.
