| Tuesday Aug 2, 2005 | In 1977 Archie Goodwin and Jim Mooney launched a female Spider-Man named Spider-Woman. Marv Wolfman added his signature huge superheroine hair and christened her Jessica Drew, namesake of Nancy Drew and his daughter Jessica. Her striking, fetish-worthy spandex costume and tendency to get tied up a lot drew accolades from photo-manipulation artists, cosplayers, transvestites and a skit on Saturday Night Live. She peaked with her own cartoon TV show, but then faded from the Marvel Universe as she lost some abilities in 1984 and the rest in 1999. Happily creator Brian Michael Bendis has resurrected her for his New Avengers. Celebrate with a Jessica Drew Quake mod, icons, Underoos, complete list of appearances, yahoo group, MiniMate, aptly-named bust, and new Heroclix figure. Best of all, she is captivatingly captured in paint by Michael Dashow, Greg Horn Judge, and Andrea Di Vito (B&W). to Comics by cricket |

If you want to do yourself and humanity a service, check out their web site and consider picking up a title or two. These guys publish the work of such luminaries as Dan Clowes, Robert Crumb, Bill Griffith, Los Bros Hernandez, Tony Millionaire and Chris Ware, all heroes of mine. In particular, Chris Ware's Acme Novelty Library and Jimmy Corrigan: The Smartest Kid On Earth represent just about the highest pinnacle of the art form that I know of. His stuff is gorgeous (though sometimes depressing in large doses) and even if Fantagraphics wasn't in such a crisis, I'd recommend everyone out there pick up a copy. to Comics by pyrrhuloxia |

| Wednesday Nov 27, 2002 | Whatever happened to comic books? In the 1940s millions of Americans read comics not only for Superhero stories, but Romance, Cowboys, War, History, Literary Adaptations and more. Readers were lured away whenever another medium provided their "fix" cheaper, easier or better, beginning with television in the '50s. By the early '80s the only genre still dominated by comics was Superheroes, and 1989's hugely profitable Batman signaled the beginning of the superheroic exodus from comics to film. Since then comicbook sales have plummeted, from $850 million in 1993 to $275 million in 2000 and still falling fast. Leading publishers Marvel and DC Comics both now treat comics solely as Research and Development: they lose millions printing the comics, but earn far more selling licenses for movies, cartoons and toys. Comics' core audience, traditionally pre-teens, is now 18-30 and getting older every year. Is this the death of comics? Scott McCloud, author of Understanding Comics, plays Gandalf to an unofficial fellowship out to save comics by migrating to the Internet! Join the revolution with Justine Shaw's Nowhere Girl, Patrick Farley's Electric Sheep, Tristan Farnon's Leisure Town, Derek Kirk's Small Stories, Jenn Manley Lee's Dicebox, Cat Garza's Magic Inkwell and more!

| Friday Feb 9, 2001 | Hardcore comic geeks "best ever" lists nearly always include Watchmen, Love and Rockets, Eightball, Nausicaa and Kyle Baker's Why I Hate Saturn. Conspicuous in its absence is Platinum Grit, the best comic you've never heard of. PG has almost never been distributed outside of Australia, yet has managed to inspire fan sites, a fan forum and rabid worldwide readership. Rumor has it they're negotiating with an American publisher - in the meantime check out swanky, free shockwave versions of Issue 8 and Issue 11.

is a new comic by Devin Grayson.
It's about a girl who realizes the line between fantasy and reality is quite thin. As Grayson puts
it: "As ... two worlds collide, the story winds through issues of gender identity, post-modern
isolation, spiritual malady and the abiding human desire for belonging and connection." to Comics by laurel |

| Thursday Oct 26, 2000 | Fans of funny web comics should read my favorite sexual, anime-influenced web comic, The Thin H-Line. Well, unless they think that things like suicide, necrophilia, masturbation, tentacle monster rape, or incest are just plain wrong. to Comics by keith |
