I make comics! Writer, colorist, letterer, and co-creator of the PAWS graphic novel series from Putnam Penguin Random House! Volume 5 of PAWS, The Trouble With Leo, will be in stores March 3, 2026! nathanfairbairn.com
I just heard from Penguin that the PAWS series by me and Michele Assarasakorn now has over a MILLION copies in print! 😲 Such a wild number. And we're not done yet! Volume 6: Mindy Meets Her Match drops next spring!
As a huge fan of @chrissamnee.bsky.social's Batman & Robin: Year One book and @iambradwalker.bsky.social, it was a real treat to color this variant cover for issue 4 of the new series. I love the way Brad draws all of these characters. So dynamic and iconic. Just great stuff!
"Batman Incorporated" is my 2nd favorite Batman book of all time. Each issue is better than the next. It's daring. It's fun. It's beautiful. It feels like the future, like nothing else. And above all, it's a wonderful story, full of meaning. The "last" Batman story.
I spend most of my days writing now, but I miss coloring, so when I come a piece of black & white art this dope I feel compelled to fire up Photoshop and get to work. If you're not already doing it, go follow Ethan!
It's the Summer of Spidey! Resharing some old favorite commissions + fanart =)

Happy #WebComicDay! It's the end of the 18th century and all our young hero wants is to get home to England in time to celebrate her 15th birthday. The only things standing in her way are haunted pirates, a rich asshole, and high expectations. PRACTICAL DEFENCE AGAINST PIRACY! tonycliff.com/dd4
I'm saddened to hear of the passing of Hermann, the great Belgian cartoonist. He was an absolute master of the craft. Les Tours de Bois-Maury was a source of huge inspiration to me as I wrote Lake of Fire. Rest in peace, sir!
Very fun (and surreal) to get a write-up in the national news for our little book, but we're grateful for any chance to talk PAWS! nationalpost.com/entertainmen...

Wow! What a week! As much as I love that PAWS can be found in 13 languages all over the world, there's something so special about topping a bestsellers list here at home! 😊 My thanks to all the Canadian booksellers, librarians, parents and kids who made last week's launch such a huge success! ❤️🍁
Big thanks to everyone who came out to Kidsbooks in Vancouver last night to help me and Michele celebrate the launch of the latest PAWS book, The Trouble With Leo! Truly a high water mark for me in almost twenty years making comics!
Here comes trouble! 🥳 The fifth volume of PAWS, The Trouble With Leo, from Penguin Random House, is in stores now! Available wherever books are sold! 🥳
This Valentine's Day, press start on romance 💘 Go on a date (or double date 👀) across time-warped Toronto! Scott Pilgrim EX's demo is live NOW on Steam!🌀 #ScottPilgrimEX
I had an absolute blast coloring the mini-comic for the new Scott Pilgrim game from @tributegames.com. If you like Scott Pilgrim and you like video games, then do yourself a favor and go check it out!
And (not to toot my own horn) I got to do some background assists! It's a fun one. Very happy to have played a small role in Supes/Spidey!
I am utterly delighted to share that @mattfraction.bsky.social @stevelieberart.bsky.social @claytoncowles.bsky.social and I briefly got the Superman's Pal Jimmy Olsen band back together to do a back-up story in Superman/Spider-Man #1. In stores March 25!

My upcoming middle grade graphic novel Inbetweens (which is based on my mixed experience at animation college) got a starred review in School Library Journal! YAY! www.slj.com/review/inbet...
Also, congratulations everyone who made something this year. A comic, a song, a film, a novel, a painting, a poem, a short story, a sculpture, crochet, embroidery, whatever it is. In this era of slop and theft, if you *make* something you are a shining jewel and I am so grateful for you.
Very cool to see PAWS included again on the CBC's list of best Canadian children's books of the year. Hazel Has Her Hands Full is one of only two middle grade graphic novels on the list! Thanks, CBC! 😊 www.cbc.ca/books/the-be...
