Billy Hynes Comics Enabler & Victim

98% comics. 1% sustainable palm oil. 1% other. No MSG. UK based. Mostly comics at https://ebay.us/m/dRX0T5 if you’re interested.

Just got these in the mail. KNIGHT CITY collection. It’s an awesome looking book. Definitely pick it up Comic-sized Hardback no slipcover—Stray Bullets Hardcover style. By @mattkindt.bsky.social and me from Dark Horse and Matt’s Flux House line (now at Oni where we got something else cooking!)

I reread Jesse Hamm's almost book-length essay, HAMM ON TOTH, every few years. Genuinely think it's one of the best pieces of writing on the visual aspects of comics. An appreciation of Alex Toth, but also an examination of process of learning, analysis of design, and a love letter to the art form.

Mike Zeck 6 print portfolio for the 10 Nights of the Beast four parter. I LOVE Zeck. I don’t get the sense he’s as well loved as he should be. In my head he’s up with Golden and Art Adams. If he’d got the runway to maintain his level and finish Punisher, perhaps that book would loom larger.

Thomas Crown Affair (McQueen & Dunaway) is iconic and I love it. The remake in the 90s (Brosnan and Rene Russo) is a really credible remake/take on it. Now a new version by Michael B Jordan. I'll give it a go!! Cape Fear has the same thing happening. Bardem looks foul as Max Cady. Next. Psycho

People using AI for their basic crap has become an easy filter for me. Apple style memojis and Miis being stuck on adverts is a sure indicator that I'm not interested in what they're saying or selling (looking at you EBay live sellers, all of whom in the UK seem to be oi oi saveloy spivs dahn sahf)
