Comic book creators deserve accurate credits.
"Probably the biggest single theft from a single human being in human history" - Alan Moore on Marvel v Jack Kirby
Thank you for your very thoughtful article on Daredevil and the creative changes.

I wonder if you would write about Marvel refusing to credit Daredevil's co-creator Jack Kirby, who created the costume and did the first sketch. Marvel has been erasing Kirby for years, despite Kirby's powerful role.

Oh, good. I guess the timing was just coincidental. (These days its easy to worry that any loss of anything good might be permanent.)

Hey, do you know when your storefront will be back up?

She is a genuine hero of comics and an all around good person. Pass it on.

Comic books' real-life supervillain: psychiatrist Fredric Wertham
In the New York Times article about my research on psychiatrist Fredric Wertham, novelist Michael Chabon referred to the doctor as Ahab, obsessed with the white whale of comics. Well,…

Deeply empathetic doctors do not falsify their research to create an issue where none exists. His own research debunked him, so he faked it to get the results he wanted.

You are right. Don't let the pro-censorship forces gaslight what a lying, cheating, destructive fraud Wertham was.

Also, let's all roll out the red carpet for @anuncivilphd.bsky.social.
