The usual summer break… Regular posts will only return in September, but, since we are still living in unusual times, I’ll try to keep the weekly COMICS CAN BE AWESOME section going throughout August. After all, pulp fiction – from Jack Kirby’s surreal sci-fi to Frank Miller’s The Dark Knight Returns – remains both a source of temporary distraction and a way to visualize a critique of the very system that spawn it. As Jason Read wrote, pop culture ‘might be baby food after all, but even baby food can be flung against the wall in rage.’
Stay safe!
