The Subway Is Not Scary
Fear of the subway is a mark of low moral character.

In two weeks I’ll be part of a panel at #AnimeNYC spotlighting educators who use manga in the classroom. This is my first time doing a panel on this topic, so I’m excited to share what I’ve been doing with my students for the last few years in my classes!

Artist Joe Shuster was born on July 10, 1914. Co-creator of Superman, as well as Lois Lane, Lex Luthor, Doctor Occult, Slam Bradley, & more! I'm posting early because given the film release, Joe deserves to be honored a lot this year. #Superman

Today is the 93rd birthday of Angelo Torres, born April 14, 1932. The last surviving artist to do work for EC Comics, he is probably best known for his several decades with Mad magazine.

Shoutout to Dustin Nguyen for speaking his piece on how he feels about Marvel. This is how they treat some of their top talent. America overall has a problem not respecting the arts as a longterm career securement.

Comics community, I know there's A LOT going on right now, but I just heard that Vita Ayala had a fire in their apartment when a building burnt down next door. Sounds like they and their family are OK, but if you've got any ability to help out, Vita is good people. gofund.me/be26c49f

Besides the Kirby 4th World Series (which are must reads of course) my personal favs are the Walt Simonson Orion series, the Tom Peyer/Rachel Pollack New Gods & the recently released YA graphic novels Mr. Miracle: The Great Escape by Varian Johnson/Daniel Isles & Barda by Ngozi Ukazu are excellent.
