There's been a bit of a kerfuffle recently over an almost ridiculously sexy Spider-Woman cover drawn by Milo Manara. I was quite surprised by the uproar, actually - voluptuous ladies in skin-tight outfits is definitely not new to comics. For whatever reason, this particular drawing seems to have crossed a ...

Often when I'm trying to introduce a friend or family members to graphic novels (or I'm trying to convince them that comics can have more substance than Archie or Superman), I will gift them a copy of something by Guy Delisle. For those of you not familiar with ...

This Quackcast came about in response to an article that was supposed to be about the biggest mistakes in starting out with a webcomic, I felt it was incredibly superficial and that it was mainly focussed on someone who wanted to go straight for the ...
Drawing One-Point Perspective for Comic Backgrounds
kawaiidaigakusei at 12:00AM, Sept. 1, 2014
I may not be the authority on drawing backgrounds in comics. However, I did spend about two years taking several classes centered around perspective drawing so I do know a little bit more than the average bear. The idea that I have is this, as comic makers, we enjoy telling ...
FRIDAY NEWSPOST - Comic Book Idols
HippieVan at 12:00AM, Aug. 29, 2014
Yesterday, August 28th, was the anniversary of Jack Kirby's birthday. This has prompted some people to talk about how his work affected them, and made me think a bit about comic book influences and artists we look up to. Although I wasn't actively a huge fan of Kirby ...

kawaiidaigakusei at 12:00AM, Aug. 25, 2014
I have been trying to avoid the real world news the last few weeks because it just goes from bad to worse to even more worse. Just last night, there was a large earthquake in Northern California, Iceland is getting ready for another volcanic eruption, and Dr. Hammond from Jurassic ...

FRIDAY NEWSPOST - Comic Book Movies
HippieVan at 12:00AM, Aug. 8, 2014
Apparently the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie is coming out right about now. While the explosion-filled trailer I saw for it (before the equally explodey Transformers 4) made up my mind that I won't be seeing this particular movie, comics have been the inspiration for some great films.
