I wish I’d taken the time to find out who this is, but I was on the way out the door when I took the shot. Unfortunately my visit to APE this year will be forever colored by the dreary drive to it–which included some most certainly dead people in a very grisly road accident that [...] [...] By Marc Arsenault | November 2nd, 2008 |  4 comments

Simon Gane has contributed a large drawing of the Amazon Princess to the Wonder Woman Day III benefit auction. There’s a lot of great art from different comic artists with their own visions of what fighting for your rights in satin tights is all about. I thought Wendy Pini’s was particularly striking. The event is [...] [...] By Marc Arsenault | October 16th, 2008 | Leave a comment

OK, I’m not Criswell (although my grandmother was an actual psychic) But I have a strong sense (hell, a tingling of a spider sense) that in the near future we will see comic book downloads on Apple’s iTunes. I have a strong feeling that DC Comics will be in the initial offering. You heard it [...] [...] By Marc Arsenault | July 2nd, 2008 | Leave a comment

Categories: Funny Books, Upcoming Blasts, Wow Cool OK. I’ve finally had a [minor] breakthrough on setting up the new Wow Cool online shop [7 months in the making!] So I feel a little more confident to do this announcement thing. Wow Cool is moving back to California and regular operation after nearly a decade of slagging off in New York and Tennessee. [...] [...] 
This is David Lynch’s more eloquent response… you know, on my behalf… to the fucking idiot the other day who said he would pay a few dollars for a download version of the only story he was interested in in the new Kramers Ergot. (As opposed to my more juvenile response today on the Beat… [...] [...] See some choice Simon Gane art on Arthur Conan Doyle story in the Graphic Classics Free Comic Book Day special, available Friday, May 3rd, 2008 at finer comic book shops everywhere. Simon previews his story here. Read a review of it on Newsarama, where they say that “Simon Gane has a wonderfully busy, angular style [...] [...] 
The other day, there was a link in the Random News Round Up section of Tom Spurgeon’s always great The Comics Reporter to an essay in the New Yorker by art spiegelman on revered EC Comics artist Bernard Krigstein. I came to a total stop in my light reading of it at this sentence… …Krigstein was [...] [...] By Marc Arsenault | March 20th, 2008 | Leave a comment

Wow Cool will be at the Heroes Convention in Charlotte, North Carolina, June 20-22, 2008. There will be a few new debuts, lots of stuff by Simon Gane, Steve Cerio and myself, music, comics, shirts, etc. I’m hoping to spend most of my time drawing sketches of 70s Marvel monsters for the kids (or, failing [...] [...] By Marc Arsenault | March 18th, 2008 | Leave a comment

Categories: Funny Books, Upcoming Blasts, Wow Cool A review of the Jason Martin Stupid Pages strips (about a year before we decided on that as a name to package them in) The two comics I’ve only seen at Fantagraphics that are memorable are “Albequerque Ben,” by Richard P. Butler, which is amazing, and a few Xeroxes of nonsense strips Al Columbia got from [...] [...] By Marc Arsenault | January 26th, 2008 | Leave a comment

Categories: The Stupid Pages, Wow Cool Wow Cool was launched 20 years ago this month by Sam Henderson, Tom Hart and Marc Arsenault in New York. Tonight, a few of those characters and more are gathering in Carroll Gardens/Cobble Hill, Brooklyn, New York for a memorial pub crawl. If you are in the neighborhood, stop by Alex Cox’s excellent Rocketship shop [...] [...] 
It seems that Wow Cool has been around long enough now (20 years this coming January) that it has attained some sort of historical signifigance, or at least our old friend Rick Bradford of the Poopsheet Foundation thinks so. I guess I need to get it in gear to get him much more art and [...] [...] If you occasionally check this thing out solely for the comic book related content, and could give a crap about the rest, all that noise has now been stuffed into it’s own category, named Funny Books. I would have just done this quietly, but I also wanted to share this little quote from Dan Nadel [...] [...] |
