Checked out Phoebe and her Unicorn book number 5 from the public library.

I'd read the larger collections and mistakenly thought they were *all* of them collected, instead of chosen strips.

Enjoying the heck out of these.

They bring me such joy.

Highly recommend.

If he's not going to play Aquaman again in the DC superhero universe, Alan Ritchson would be perfect for Captain Atom.

I've always enjoyed Jim Woodring's visual style.

Very surprised I completely missed this when it was available, before being open sourced now:

Just read the "Click" and "Camp" comicbooks by Kayla Miller. Got them online from my public library through Libby.

While I really like her style and storytelling on each page, its her character development that really makes them fantastic.

Says it's for kids, but years ago *I* was once a kid, and some of the painful bits were really too close to home for me. That's a good thing. Because there were good bits.

Saw a painting of the comic strip character Dick Tracy, in his yellow fedora, looking at his watch. "Dick's Library" in the red font with an arrow pointing.

My very young self in the late 1970s really wanted to go here at that time. Not ever a remote possibility for me at the time. A lot of comic book artists I really like went here. Sad to hear that they lost their accreditation.

Joe Kubert's Sgt. Rock and Tarzan always stood out as really good covers and stories.

UPDATE: Now going to be part of nearby Morris College.

Watched the most recent Superman movie again.

What makes a lot of these Superhero stories great for me are the supporting characters. Superman needs the Daily Planet. Spiderman needs the Daily Bugle. Batman needs the GCPD, especially Gordon.

These characters help them to choose to do the right thing.

All that power (and wealth in Batman's case) means nothing if it's not used to protect people.

Andy Runton's comic book "Owly" is so fun to look at. Great character designs.

Really wish we could see this. Alas, July is the only time we've been able visit the area.
I love Edward Gorey!

The "Banned Book Club" graphic novel was really good. I don't blame them for not doing a book tour in the U S. As it's being run by fascists traitors destroying America's good things. And being so, so stupid about immigrants.

"Superman's Pal Jimmy Olsen: Who Killed Jimmy Olsen" collection of the comic books is one of the most FUN reads I've had lately.

And the great artist Steve Lieber has it for sale at his website:
