For the last century (give or take five years), I've been writing a weekly column for The Comics Buyer's Guide. It's a newspaper that covers comic books, animation, movies and comic strips and, occasionally, I even manage to address one of those topics. Other times, as you can see, we wander far afield, for Man does not live by comic books, animation, movies and comics strips alone. Anyway, throughout this site, I've posted some of the deathless essays I've penned for that fine publication with all sorts of strange links and cross-references.

New site devoted to the BEST urban/sci-fi/horror/action comic online...Malignant Strain!

Created by journalists Matt Brady and Michael Doran, Comics Newsarama is a daily updated site featuring the award-winning up-to-the-minute news coverage of Michael Doran's Newsarama, journalist Matt Brady's newsbreaking interviews, analysis and features, the net's most famous comics reviewing duo.

Written by Michael Doran and Matt Brady, Newsarama is the web’s longest running daily comics news site, with interviews, art and features.

A superb new site was launched recently. What follows is an excerpt from their mission statement:

"The critical and analytical literature of comics has always been in drought. On both an academic and journalistic level, there has always been little for the aficionado or casual reader to refer to. Our library shelves are bare.

The Internet has provided us with a new opportunity to build a library of our own, and a literature is at last emerging, but slowly. Several websites have been created in the past few years to offer different perspectives on the industry, be they cultural, political, mainstream or radical; driven by a news, arts or entertainment agenda. Each serves to play its part in expanding the coverage of comics.

Ninth Art is the latest voice to join this estimable chorus. Our aim is not to be first with the news or the big interviews. We make no claim to being a newsmagazine. Rather, Ninth Art is a journal of the medium. It is our aim to create an expanding repository of ideas, analysis and contemporary thought, exploring every aspect of the arts and industry of comics. Ninth Art is a document, and one that will continue to grow every week."

For over a year now every last Wednesday of the month Comix artists & Illustrators from all over Montréal meet to take part in the collaborative narrative art form called a COMIX JAM (also spelled Comic Jam). Much like free jazz or the surrealists Exquisite Corpse the jams provide an opportunity for an artist to flex their creative muscles in ways they otherwise couldn't. Jams sharpen the storytellers mind, hone problem solving skills, refine the imagination and give rise to innovation. The Jams have a long history and tradition in Montréal, going back more than 10 years cartoonists and doodles have been darkening the corners of Cafes, Bars and living rooms, in clumps of three or more, stooping over pages pens in hand. The pages from the monthly jams are available in a monthly zine and online at our site - http://www.grenadinerecords.com/jam or http://montreal.comixjam.org

monthly Jams have also taken root in Ottawa, Toronto, San Francisco & New York.
