“Batman doesn’t need to look…like an inflatable balloon.”: DC Comics’ Richard Bruning on an era of mergers, multimedia, and mandatory AOL email - The Comics Journal (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The apex of the DC Comics career of Richard Bruning arrived in 2005 when, after a campaign of 20 years, he finally killed the DC Bullet. Ever since arriving at the publisher for his first tenure as design director in 1985, Bruning had dreamed of the mercy killing. The logo he replaced it with was dubbed the “DC Spin,: and it might have been the best distillation of the ethos Bruning had championed since returning to the company as vice president-creative director nine years earlier. The Spin fea
“Don’t remind people what you aren’t”: DC's Richard Bruning on prestige, Vertigo, and why Paul Levitz wouldn’t buy a Mac, Part 1 - The Comics Journal (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Richard Bruning has never really come to terms with the DC Bullet. The Milton Glaser-designed logo, debuted by DC comics alongside their official name change in 1976, has long been regarded as a classic of comic book design, but to hear Bruning tell it, it’s nothing but a sum of its errors: it’s too unbalanced, too loud, and above all it positively reeks of the 1970s. That sort of opinionated iconoclasm was once a defining characteristic of Bruning and it was, ironically enough, the thing that g
Comics industry veteran accused of secret dealings, unpaid bills in multiple business deals - The Comics Journal (opens the original)

Correction: An earlier version of this story accidentally misidentified the third co-founder of Macrovers, Ricci Rukavina. The Journal regrets the error. Adam Fortier, a comics industry veteran whose career has included publisher roles at Boom! Studios and Joe Books, currently stands accused of two simultaneous instances of unsound business practices and unmet financial obligations. In one case, which has resulted in an ongoing lawsuit from former business associates at Macroverse Media, Fortier
The Oddball's Odyssey #1 - The Comics Journal (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Every underground cartoonist has within him two wolves, which were born in 1980 and 1981 respectively. The older wolf is named RAW. You know about RAW. RAW Wolf knew from its youngest days as a pup that it was bound for great things; the sort of things that were never considered possible among the wild animal set. RAW Wolf speaks wolf language, and wears wolf fur, but it has never been quite satisfied at being regarded as a wolf in the first place: it would, in its wolfish heart, like very much
R&R — Jim Shooter Agonistes: A reconsideration of the editor and writer's legacy - The Comics Journal (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In the early summer of 1974, a Legion of Super-Heroes fan named Harry Broertjes, the editor of a homemade magazine called the Legion Outpost, made a phone call from New York to Pittsburgh to speak to Jim Shooter. Shooter was at that time a 23-year-old college dropout, living with his parents in his childhood home, and working a series of mostly odd jobs with mostly poor results. After trying and failing to get work at local advertising firms, he had just quit his position as manager of a fried c
