My horror novel BONES OF OUR STARS, BLOOD OF OUR WORLD hits the shelves today!

This is a book that will keep you turning the page and keep you guessing… and I’d be shocked if you expect how it all wraps up!

I love mini-comics!, part 2: I just read Bezoar no. 5 by a bunch of folks from and around Athens, GA. The great cover by @neilaglet.bsky.social contains a bunch of fun and spooky/romance-themed stories and a couple of illustrations and comics by the incomparable Patrick Dean (RIP).
Cover to Bezoar #5 by Lee Gatlin. It is printed on pink paper and shows a witch flying by a vampire that is hanging from a building steeple. A black cat is arched up on the back of her broom and a caldron hangs from the front. There are also a couple of bats flying by.

My upcoming graphic novel, Speaking with Pictures, on cognition, language, and visual communication is out in only 3 more months... www.visuallanguagelab.com/sip
Praise for the book Speaking in Pictures: “Though I’ve been creating and editing comics for decades, every time I read Neil Cohn’s insights into the comics medium, I gain valuable new knowledge. His latest work, Speaking in Pictures is clear and comprehensive. Reading it will be time well spent for anyone who loves comics.” – Carl Potts, Former Executive Editor, Marvel Comics and Author of The DC Comics Guide to Creating Comics: Inside the Art of Visual Storytelling

stergbot.bsky.social Stergios Botzakis @stergbot.bsky.social · Oct 20
This trick-or-treat season, why not read about one of the ultimate tricksters? @georgeoconnor.bsky.social ‘s Asgardians: Loki is an eye-opening look at Odin’s (not Thor’s) wily half-brother. I loved being introduced and re-introduced to these tales, which are very different from the Marvel version!

I just read Pushing Buttons, a graphic novel by Danish cartoonist Ursula Blix. I loved the artwork and how the story slowly shed light on Margit’s soul-sucking work and relationship with her supervisor/best friend Chloe. I will definitely be looking for more work from Blix and Black Panel Press.

Next up in my great graphic novel catch-up: the first volume of @jefflemire171.bsky.social’s Minor Arcana. It’s features many of the best aspects of his work: strong characters, slow burn reveals, family secrets, and just the right amount of supernatural surprises. So good and compelling!

My great graphic novel catch-up continues with Sunshine by @studiojjk.bsky.social. It’s a book that can make you smile and also shed a tear, showing people with medical conditions that many would typically shy away from. It’s a hopeful, affirming read.

Hey Kiddo  is one of my favorite graphic novels, and  Sunshine  is its follow-up but it stands by itself. This book chronicles a week that K...
