Also, I think bold text gives a completely different flavour of emphasis compared to italics. Italics are less legible at comic book scale which is probably why they haven't traditionally been used. In Face, Milligan uses italics & bold but the italicised text is also bold.

Of course, unlike Kael, you make work in the medium you write criticism of, but still:

It was in Manga Classroom, which might've been translated? I first encountered it in this great Ryan Holmberg essay on Yūichi Yokoyama.

Found a better pic of that Columbia hat, brim is definitely too big. Also found another Columbia hat im denim this time: if the sizes of the brim and neck protector were swapped it's be perfect.

Found a similar hat for sale on ebay. Made by Columbia. Think the front brim is bigger than the drawing but it's pretty close

In a way that manga did exist! López is a huge influence on Hirohiko Araki's work and he directly homaged him multiple times for JJBA

This whole series of illos is career-best work by López, btw. Cycling gloves and caps and oversized knit sweaters have never seemed cooler

I want a hat like the guy in this 1984 Antonio López illustration has but I have no clue what it's called. Some weird kind of flap cap

Most of Imiri Sakabashira's work fits in this category. Feel like Landry's Shit and Piss would qualify if it weren't so wordy. There must be some others I'm not thinking of

A lot of these sites have weird inconsistent pricing. There was a copy of Bradley of Him up for like 90 cents on a similar site a few years back. I think sellers just accidentally set the prices too low somehow but end up fixing them

Really thought Incidents in the Night vol. 2 came out more recently but it was Summer 2015 (excellent book btw!). Only been one David B. translation since then, this one from 2018 for NBM no one read. Also if we're counting anthologies there was a Menu short in NOW, I'm pretty sure
