Wow, if only this had really gone up on Thanksgiving!

Via PW Comics Week, yet another peek at STRANGE TALES II, this time by Dean Haspiel.

This image slogan has particular poignancy around Stately Beat Manor this morning.

Any guesses?

Marvel's STRANGE TALES anthology continues to be a lively, refreshing look at the Marvel U, as constant reinventions show just how versatile this universe really is. Below, a Luke Cage story by the great Toby Cypress and a Thing story written by the late, great Harvey Pekar with art by the great Ty Templeton. FUN!

It's one of the more notable aspects of the Franco-Belgian comics scene that there's no stigma either way for comics experimentalists to create genre work. Thus the trailblazing cartoonists of L'Association have variously worked on children's comics and most light-hearted fare with great success. Such a work is Lewis Trondheim's DONJON, which NBM has been publishing in the US. DONJON is a sprawling satirical fantasy about anthropomorphic warriors in a magical, ludicrous kingdom. It's a darkly whimsical epic that's a mash-up of D&D, CEREBUS, GROO, and any number of works by headliners Trondheim and Joann Sfar.

We're sticking with this to the end!

Long-lost cartoonist of everyday New York life gets museum show. details, explanations, artwork at the D&Q blog. The artwork is lush and keenly observed. It should be seen.

Is it just me or does that look like Bruce Campbell?

Just as a reminder, James Jean has an art blog. Above, a painting of musician Devendra Banhart.

This sketchbook by Deep6 and Hypothetical Island studio members was presented as a raffle prize to a lucky attendee. We lost the original link to this but the above by Tim Hamilton should make up for our perfidy.
