This is a thing. A bunch of alt righters got together and crowd sourced a comic that appeals to their tastes since the original comics now have brown people and women who dare not just be sex objects in them. So a world not too different except history went wildly whacky. Oddly the Alt Right...

So since getting an iPad I've been getting more into comics than I ever was as a kid. I'm on the lookout for new and interesting comics, but I hate superheroes. It seems a large percentage of the comic industry is dedicated to superheroes of various stripes, so it's been a challenge finding...

I don't remember much about the stories I used to read in the old 10 cent comics but I do remember Supermans cape sometimes looked like angels wings and once I remember this. In a Superboy comic some humanoid aliens with antennae and weird eyes were on the ma and Pa kent farm. Mrs. Kent said...

Yesterday I saw a copy of Robert Crumb's Book of Genesis in Borders. I had a quick look into it, the same way I skimmed it when parts were published in the New Yorker. Then I put it back on the shelf; didn't even check the price. Well, why bother? I sure wouldn't shell out hardcover bucks for...

Awright! http://www.postchronicle.com/news/original/article_212297472.shtml Does this shock anyone other than me? Archie? I figured they just lived in their little Andy Hardy mythical world.

I thought Chick only wrote those awful tracts, but apparently he's the author of the The Crusaders series of comics as well (which look just as amusing). Someone has given me 4 of them, issues 11, 12, 13 and 14, copyright 1979, in very good shape and which appear to have been stored in a plastic...

I went looking for a thread of this article and didn't find one: http://www.printmag.com/Article/R_Crumb_and_the_Bible I'm a *HUGE* fan of Crumb, back when I thought he was one of the "new" independent comic publishers back in the mid 80's, not realizing he had been doing it for almost 20...

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/books/booknews/6358134/Biblical-sex-row-over-explicit-illustrated-Book-of-Genesis.html Awesome, it should bring the bible to a new host of readers, who'll grow up thinking God is sexy rather than bonkers I'm going to get in on the bandwagon fast by selling a...

Ok. Since, everyone was going on about the watchmen, i decided to get a copy and read it. I must say that I greatly enjoyed it. I found much of the imagery impressive, and couldn't help but relish the ugliness of it all. So, does anyone have any suggestions as to what other graphic novels...

The geekiness overfloweth. And I love it! The Periodic Table of Comic Books

It's official. My daugher just told me that apparently Batwoman has a girlfriend who was in jail for drugs or something. My daughter also has a transvestite substitute teacher at school. I have no comment about either phenomenon, other to say that things have changed from when I grew up and...

I am not a great fan of comics. I took me many years to find the courage to admit that in public. I have felt many times that there is something I miss but I cannot understand this form of Art apart from the classics of course ( Asterix, Ten-ten etc ). I feel frustrated about that because so...

In August, the conviction of a Dallas bookstore manager became final, for selling obscenity in the form of adult science-fiction comic books; the sales were to adults in an adults-only section, but the prosecutor's main argument about the books's alleged "danger" was merely that comic books are...

There are several comics-related threads I'd like to start over time, so before beginning this one I'd like to list some others and describe what each is (and isn't) intended to cover. 1. Comics for Skeptics. 2. Comics of Possible Interest to Skeptics. 3. Great Moments In Great...
