Weird work schedule and lack of focus makes us a little late...

More Cerebus Content Than You Can Possibly Consume in One Lifetime:

A Moment of Cerebus is one of my favourite blogs. They've been sharing a lot of "lost" Cerebus stories that weren't reprinted in those phone book trade paperbacks. The bibliographer in me is fascinated with this stuff. MiscellanyApocryphaArchive #4Jam

Remembering Wayne Howard:

Internet Archive
(Some Wild Children's Comics!)
Underrated Black cartoonist Wayne Howard was born March 29, 1949 in Cleveland, OH (he passed away in 2007 in Derby, Connecticut). He was one of the better (imho) acolytes of Wally Wood and was quite prolific for Charlton in the seventies. Charlton gave him an unprecedented spotlight in Midnight Tales 1-18, with the covers and two stories every issue drawn, lettered, and coloured by Howard (later issues were pretty much solo Howard efforts).

My latest review on Broken Frontier is unusual in covering a webcomic serialized online (I first read it on bluesky). Sleepyhouse2 is one of my favorite cartoonist discoveries last year. Read some more background on the characters in Hard Core Drugs in this Tumblr post.

Chris Cajero Cilla Movie Poster:

Can you guess the movie Chris Cajero Cilla based this poster on? This tiny detail is my favorite part of the image, and gives a clue what event the poster touts. Join Cilla's Patreon to keep up to date on his latest work.
