Top 10 Daredevil Covers
I’ve already submitted my all-time/all-title Top 10 Covers list, but being that I’m a huge Daredevil fan, I had to figure out which Daredevil covers would be considered the Top 10 of all-time. To do that, I had to recruit the help of the good folks over at manwithoutfear.com. (If you’re a DD fan and haven’t visited their site you don’t know what you’re missing. Get over there.) It became clear that the history of…

So How Was YOUR Decade?
Well, technically it’s (barely) still January as I write this, so consider it my New Year’s resolution piece. I resolve to do more of these things than I did last year! Or at least if not in quantity, in quality. (I guess I could do a couple a week with just a few sentences, like telling dumb jokes, but wouldn’t that be cheating? You’ve come to expect a certain level of good crap and darn it,…

When is art born?
When is art born? It’s almost like asking “what is art?”. Our passion for comics brings two art forms together – writing and drawing. Is one “art” without the other?
