Writer, mostly re comics these days. Paternal grandfather Malcolm Wheeler-Nicholson founded the company that became DC Comics. We need to be informed and resist but it's also vital to continue to create in the face of destruction.
Quoi qu'il arrive it's still Mardi Gras wherever I am. Laissez les bon temp rouler. 💜💚⚜️

RIP Jules Feiffer. One of the first comics artists I discovered and loved as an adult. This event took place in 2012 at Mocca in NYC with Danny Fingeroth herding Jules Feiffer and the great Irwin Hasen in conversation. It was vaudeville at its finest.

Today January 11, marks the 90th Anniversary of DC Comics which officially began with the January 11, 1935 publication of New Fun #1 published by Major Malcolm Wheeler-Nicholson. DC issued a reprint in 2020 beautifully edited by DC archivist Benjamin LeClear with additional content by moi.

Today, January 7 is the 135th anniversary of Major Malcolm Wheeler-Nicholson. Soldier, possible spy, world traveler, newspaper syndicate founder, pulp writer, Founder of DC comics, author non-fiction and inventor, "the Major" lived a large life, which more than deserves celebration.

I read Peter Matthiessen's book The Snow Leopard in 1983 while on a journey through Thailand, Malaysia, and China in just after the cultural revolution. Shortly after I had a chance to hear him speak about his book In The Spirit of Crazy Horse. Well worth the read. Free Leonard Peltier.

Introduction--I write about comics and create comics. It's my heritage--my grandfather founded what is now known as DC Comics. How he lost the company is a mythic tale. My profile pic is a character he created in 1935-Sandra of the Secret Service. Lee Marrs and I recently created a new Sandra tale.
