One of my fave discoveries when co-curating that exhibit at the Billy Ireland were some truly unhinged early Fletcher Hanks drawings that turned out to be his homework from the W.L. Evans School of Cartooning and Caricature correspondence course.

A comics landmark. 40 years ago, Love and Rockets #13 was released. It includes Daniel Clowes’s first comic to be published by Fantagraphics. I couldn’t verify the precise on-sale date, but it has an August 1985 first printing date, another poster seems confident it was out this week 40 yrs ago.

The first long interview with the mysterious Clair Noto, one of the 1st women comics writers, who wrote the cult fave Red Sonja series in the late 1970s, and about whom little is known.
She tees off on Roy Thomas, who she accuses of stealing credit, & Frank Thorne, who she detested. Juicy stuff!

Giving someone an economic incentive to remove another person’s liberty is abhorrent no matter what lens you view it through. Absolutely incompatible with a free society. The fucking concept is so sickening to me. There is no right way to do it.
