Sean T. Collins reviews Illegal Batman

Webcomic Wednesday: Illegal Batman by Ed Pinsent Deconstructions of the Batman, even excellent ones, are nothing new, but I’ve never seen anyone or anything break it down to the molecular level and reassemble it into a wondrous and haunting new form the way Ed Pinsent does in Illegal Batman. Or should I say the way…

Planet 4 is small and mean

Chris Reynolds goes digital…computer lettering, digital colours and airbrush effects in his new comic book Planet 4.

Gallery additions #2

Created a new gallery for 1980s UK article zines; these are mostly text-based reviews and interview fanzines.
