The Outsider - The Comics Journal (opens the original)
Read excerpt
It’s hard doing stories about William Shakespeare. That was my main thought leaving Chloé Zhao’s Hamnet. When you present one of the greatest writers in the English language you almost set yourself to fail — whatever words you put in his mouth are going to be compared to the words he put in other people’s mouths. With that being said … Do I need to tell you about Bernard “Bernie” Krigstein? You are reading The Comics Journal, which makes me assume this is as useless a gesture as explaining Napol
Judge Dredd: Rend and Tear With Tooth and Claw & Judge Dredd: And to the Sea Return - The Comics Journal (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Rob Williams, R. M. Guéra and Henry Flint Rebellion Press had recently graced my shelves with two new collections of Judge Dredd stories: Rend & Tear With Tooth & Claw and To the Sea Return. Two pretty good collections, overall, and certainly worthy of engagement as the future of the (sorry for that word) franchise. John Wagner, co-creator and main writer of the strip over last five decades, announced his retirement from Judge Dredd 1, and it takes a whole crop of writers to fill those boots. Bo
Shade the Changing Man Omnibus Volume 2 - The Comics Journal (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Written by Peter Milligan. Art by Chris Bachalo, Richard Case, Steve Yowell, Mark Buckingham, Michael Lark, and others … Or, to use its full name, Shade the Changing Man by Peter Milligan and Chris Bachalo Omnibus Volume 2. That is a mouthful. That is also as clear a case of caveat empetor and caveat lector rolled into one. This collection, the first time the well-regarded Vertigo reinvention of an old 1 Steve Ditko concept has been fully composed between two covers, contains a major lie right t
R&R: The Stars My Destination might not be comics exactly, but it's still great - The Comics Journal (opens the original)
Read excerpt
“It was a golden age, a time of high adventure, rich living, and hard dying … but nobody thought so.” The opening line of Alfred Bester’s classic (and I mean "classic," not just "old") science fiction novel is probably as good a description of American comics publishing in the late 1970s as one could find. The old world was dying and a new world was struggling to be born. The direct market was coming into being, a new generation of creators were very much the mirror image of New Hollywood’s Enfa
The Last Day of H.P. Lovecraft - The Comics Journal (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Romuald Giulivo and Jakub Rebelka. Translated by Mercedes Gilliom It is a universally acknowledged truth that a man in possession of a comics pitch would probably do something with H.P. Lovecraft. Either the man, or any of his many-tentacled creations. One would think that we have gone past that zenith long ago. But I can assure you that one cannot throw a stone in a comics-oriented space without hitting a fish-person or one of the avatars of Nyarlathotep. This unholy spread of Lovecraftiana has
