I really enjoyed IN PERPETUITY by Peter and Maria Hoey published by @topshelfcomix.bsky.social. It has a Chris Ware vibe but with an Ed Brubaker sensibility. It starts slow, but worth the wait. If anything, this story strangely made me appreciate life. And isn't that why we read in the first place?

How can anyone say no to a comic called CHEST FACE??

Check out Dean Haspiel's pulp noir satire about a stand-up comedian whose FACE is on his CHEST (think about that) -- before its Kickstarter ends on 11/22!

Blue Sky Comic People: Can anyone recall which comics this Dark Knight subscription ad ran in? I know it ran in JLA #250. I'm trying to remember where I first saw it because that was the first time I had even heard it existed.

Turns out Winsor McKay was doing it in Little Nemo. This is a more famous example from 1908, but the guy was doing these polyptychs three years earlier in the strip. Just boundless imagination!

Comic Book People!

Does this "panoramic environment broken up into panels" technique have a label?

The earliest I've seen it done is Eisner's The Spirit (of course). I'm not 100% sure Eisner invented this technique, but I'm willing to bet he did.
