I think Joe Currie, who's drawing "Silver" in @2000ad.bsky.social is pretty major new talent. He's got a dollop of Ronin-era Frank Miller with dose of Enki Bilal in his work. Go seek him out.

Can I interest anyone in a ton of Judge Dredd / 2000ADs? Haven’t decided on all the pricing yet but will likely be selling most of these in the €2 section. Some of the older collections will go for more.

Shambolic. If teachers can use AI to mark, why can’t students use AI to write? And here we go: students not doing the work and teachers not doing the marking. Why don’t students not bother to go to school and teachers can stay at home? How about we all don’t get out of bed in the morning?????

At no point in this entire article of 16 paragraphs does ABC mention that another cop killed this cop by shooting her in the back. Nor does it mention the name of the cop who killed this cop. Nor does it mention that the civilians involved never fired at them. ABC might as well be state media.

this is going around as people finger wag about optics and peaceful protests and i just want to note that the cop here - john pike - received retirement, 8mos of suspended leave pay, and $38k for the pain and suffering of macing kids the students received $6k-30k, most at the lower end

Hey, @2000ad.bsky.social have the Cadet Dredd collection discounted by a massive 50%!! Why not grab your copy today? It's chock-full of high-octane stories for young and older readers alike, with a fairly hefty contribution by me: shop.2000ad.com/catalogue/XB...

UNBOUND AUTHORS: I’m speaking to a solicitor about our fine mess. If you have ANY correspondence with the company (beyond the “Dear Author” letters we all got) in 2024 about nonpayment or about the company’s financial stability, could I see it? I’m opening my DMs for this (don’t make me regret that)

So glad to see that cursive writing isn't a lost skill after all. #WestAdams

Robert Jenrick spent the day harassing working class people for not paying the £3 train fares. This is the same guy who tried to steal £45 million from the poorest community in London on behalf of a billionaire Tory donor! 🤮🤮

As of today, Elon Musk is thought to be responsible for the death of 300,000 adults and kids due to the illegal closure of USAID (source: www.impactcounter.com/dashboard?vi...) That's a 103 deaths per hour, each day. And it will get worse. His legacy is one of death, destruction, and failure.

Furiosa. Watercolor, gouache, blood, sweat, tears, oil.

PSA: if you have Amazon Prime, this glorious thing is on it. All together now: Gesundheit!

I feel a sudden urge to remind people that "Kill or Be Killed" by @seanphillips.bsky.social and Ed Brubaker is a great book and well worth seeking out.

Farage: "Lucy Connolly should not be in prison... Understand, there were millions of mothers at that moment in time after Southport feeling exactly the same way. Connolly was imprisoned because she posted: “Set fire to all the fucking hotels full of the bastards… if that makes me racist so be it.”

Do you like Rocket Raccoon? Did you know his Co-Creator, Bill Mantlo, was the victim of a hit-and-run accident in 1992? Bill suffered severe head trauma and has been institutionalized since. Thanks to the @heroinitiative.bsky.social he was not abandoned! Follow and support the Hero initiative!

Using onomatopoeia as the panel itself will always be one of the best things about comic books.

Hey!! Everyone reading this: If you care about Comic Book Creators, especially the aging older ones who've brought you all the great characters and stuff you love, PLEASE follow the @heroinitiative.bsky.social (That they only have 272 followers is shameful! Please help me get that number up!)

From 50 years ago, this Observer magazine cover by Hargrave Hands feels awfully contemporary.

The Ridley Scott/Chris Weston team-up you demanded is heading your way! Look out for Mechanical Cake: the legendary director's first foray into the world of graphic novels. I'll be reunited with my old Filthy pal, @garyerskine.bsky.social Thanks to @deevelliott.bsky.social for bringing me onboard!

The level of hatred these AI bros have for creative people I just do not understand

Please could you help me to spread the word about my swashbuckling adventure story with a pirate protagonist, sapphic romance, with a dash of werewolves and vampires? My latest novel THE VENGEANCE is available in all formats geni.us/thevengeance Perfect for escaping the horrors of our time.

Then.... now.
