Firstly, a large & public thanks to @stevewmorris.bsky.social for his generous patience, and for very kindly giving me the space to find something new to say. @shelfdust.bsky.social is special and I’m glad to be amongst its pages

With this piece I also owe a debt to @porochista.bsky.social whose brilliant workshop on criticism left me re-enthused and reminded me that “criticism is the ultimate act of love” - giving something your sincerest attention

The comics industry is fraught (understatement), but I have no qualms giving the medium my undivided attention

I’d also like to thank @illusclaire.bsky.social for her generous conversation and clarity of insight that helped me move through some of the blocks I had while working on this

Lastly! Janet Malcolm and Jacqueline Rose (and their contrasting biographies of Sylvia Plath) were big influences in nudging me to recalibrate my framing with this one. This was also part of feeling like I’d found a new avenue (in my own writing)

Okay, merci!
