I Like good comics, and know the difference. I LOVE the craft and art of sequential graphical storytelling. I mostly post/repost about comics, creating comics, and comics creators. Very ocassionaly other stuff of interest. (Will comment on ANYTHING)
Old 2000 AD really knew how to bring the good stuff to the cover party.
If you missed StarHenge and want to know more here's an excellent in-depth review -

I can't be the only one in the States collecting 2000 AD, who's had a real challenge finding the appropriate size bags and boards for the early few hundred Progs when they were pure newsprint and 9 1/4" X 11 ¼". Turns out Sheet Music Boards work just fine! www.bcwsupplies.com/sheet-music-...
Alan Davis is one of the greatest overall artists of the last 50 years. Top of the field for esthetics, storytelling, draftsmanship, life acting, action, and especially humor. I'll never get how he's not mentioned in the same context as Kubert, Toth, Ditko, Adams, Wrightson, Lee, Gibbons, etc.
Alan Davis didn't do a lot of Batman... But he still managed to draw one of the best Batman pages
Found this lovely bit of hagiography for Mrs. Chiang Kai-shek in the back of Wonder Woman #6 from 1943. Honestly wasn't expecting that. This is why originals are better than reprint collections if you can get them. Sooo much cultural context in the back matter.
I've done a few commissions with a few artists and I cannot reccomend @stazjohnson.bsky.social highly enough. One of the best engagements. Proffesional,responsive, reasonably accommodating, and the finished piece was WAY better than I'd hoped for. The whole process genuinely brought me joy.
Here are details & examples of the private commissions I now offer. DM me if you're interested or if you have any questions.
Love this look at the craft by a master.

Just taking a minute to appreciate all the genius that is Ed McGuinness.
I love my job. My mileage on my career varies for many, many reasons but Redcoat is such a pleasure. Some days are better than others but then you get an issue like issue 20 and I can't draw fast enough to get the pages out of my head.
Duncan let me and Jess watch ROGUE TROOPER last night and HOLY FUCKING SHIT, GANG! It's sooooo fucking good. Hilarious, fun, hard-R violent, adapted straight from the pages of the comic. 2000AD fans are gonna lose their minds, and just try not to throw a fist in the air at the final needle drop. 🤯🤯🤯
Doing connecting covers is tons of fun but also a little tricky: do you focus on one big picture (each cover being a puzzle piece, like I did on my TRANSFORMERS covers) or do you try to tell a story through the covers? (Like I did recently on my TWILIGHT ZONE covers) When @skybound.bsky.social asked
I believe the correct response of you are a grown man is "SQUEEEE!!!!" or perhaps "OMG OMG OMG!!!" Good news from @mikemignola.bsky.social :) www.polygon.com/hellboy-in-h...

This is a wonderful recollection of a wonderful human now gone.
Here is my Jane Yolen story, which I suspect is a pretty common one, or at least a variation thereon. I grew up on her books. One of my earliest memories is my dad reading Commander Toad books to me at the South Bend public library. Then I grew up and got a job in comics publishing. (1/)
Mike Allred's original art for the covers of Superman: Space Age #1–3.
I'm REALLY looking forward to this. One of the most gripping books so far this year. With absolutely no credit taken from Phillip's excellent writing, @marclaming.bsky.social's clean, detailed, and effortless visual storytelling puts you inside the story, in the boat, feeling the building dread.
Wow, this is quite the review of my work on Endeavour #3 "Laming’s expressive artwork sells every moment of tension, fear, and despair, helping the story maintain its impact through the final pages." Read the rest here aiptcomics.com/2026/06/10/e...
A couple of years ago I worked on a comic mini-series with @mrtonylee.bsky.social & @Bruce Dickinson (of Iron Maiden fame), here's some of the pencils from the third & (what I believe was) the last issue.
Can we get this one to 400 backers soon? Mark Waid's darkest book ever. Barry Kitson art. Signed editions, original art, and more available. Don't miss it! zoop.gg/c/empire
EMPIRE - Deluxe Hardcover
This Eisner-nominated series from two industry titans is a true cult classic, and for the first time it is being collected in a DEFINITIVE deluxe hardcover edition! A Doctor Doom-like supervillain na...

Barry Kitson's absolutely wonderful cover for #4 of StarHenge. FOC for the new series was today. Exciting!
D'Orc #7, variant cover. (Uncolored.) Some of you guys wanted to see the D'Orc #7 pen and ink original cover art. Well, here it is. I actually enjoyed drawing this. Every time I do something cartoony, I always see a hint of Wally Wood or Walt Kelly in my art. *** D'Orc #7 comes out in August.
