🇺🇸 I'm currently working on a Graphic Novel "Fathers of marvel Comics", which will be published in early 2026, in the US and in France.

🇫🇷 Je travaille sur une BD intitulé "Fathers of Marvel Comics", qui sera publié début 2026, aux États-Unis et en France.
Currently writing & storyboarding Chapter 10 of Ghosts of #Marvel #comics.
Next is chapter 11, which will bring the 1966 storyline to a close.
Once the art for Chapters 1–11 is complete, I’ll move on to writing Chapters 12 &13. a long coda to Chapter 1-11.
Progress, progress. One page at a time

I wasn’t sure I could pull it off, but throughout my "Ghosts of Marvel Comics" graphic novel I often use a fly-on-the-wall view to reveal entire spaces... like in this example, for the color separation room at Chemical Color Plate rebuilt from photos and witness accounts. #marvel #comics

Saw this last year. Terrific collage art by Jack Kirby, last page of Thor #132 introducing Ego. @themarvelmethod.bsky.social @patrickford.bsky.social

It is my birthday.
Since the last one, I kept working on Ghosts of Marvel Comics… eight years and counting, it will be published by Dupuis in France.
My comic strip “Wyoming je t’aime” published in a real newspaper, it is still so strange to see it actually in print in the USA

Question pour les connaisseurs de comic strips : y a-t-il déjà eu des auteurs français publiés dans des journaux de presse américains (quotidiens ou hebdos), dans le genre Peanuts, Garfield ou Terry and the Pirates ?

Never thought my little French brain would end up in an American newspaper!
…yet here we are, I guess: “Wyoming Je T’aime” debuts in Oil City Weekly!!

I get to put my French fingerprints on a very American tradition!

If you see this, post Jack Kirby art.

Here’s a never seen Jack Kirby layout from a panel of Strange Tales 152, which was later finished and inked by Steranko.

JL Mast has documentation from Marvel files which prove the dialogue for AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #43 was not written by Stan Lee . Lee did review the dialogue and made some minor edits accounting for perhaps 10% of the published dialogue. Border notes are by Romita.

Marvel Comics founder Martin Goodman's Popular Digest. Historically important because the 1st issue is the 1st usage of Timely Publications (the name Goodman would then use to publish comics). The timing of the 2nd issue is considered the reason that Captain America Comics started with Vol 2 #1.

Deep in the trenches of my graphic novel about Marvel… drawing pages almost non-stop. The next 10 days are all about the Chemical Color Company! Before Photoshop, these were the hands that gave Marvel comics their color. forgotten artisans but not for long!
