SIMPLICITY has been out for ONE YEAR today!!!! happy birthday to my little book :) we don't get paperbacks very often in the graphic novel world so it's tough to keep attention on something when it's no longer new, but i still think it's the best thing i've ever made. simplicitybook.xyz

In my essay for @qianawhitted.bsky.social Desegregating Comics, I wrote a little ab Emmett Till as a comics reader. The bed he was in when he was kidnapped was piled with comics and magazines; one of his Chicago neighbors said a bit about his comics reading. He was a kid. He should still be here.
Governor JB PritzkerEmmett Till was born right here in Chicago on July 25, 1941. And it is with deep humility and great pride that I signed legislation this week at Roberts Temple to declare his birthday as the Illinois Day of Reflection and Remembrance of Emmett Till and Mamie Till-Mobley.

Major Motoko in progress! All of Masamune Shirow’s work was a major influence on my first published comics, and I’ve been loving the new animated Ghost In The Shell! It showcases so much of Shirow’s zany humor, emotion, sexiness & existential focus better than any previous adaptation I’ve seen.

Every other copy of DIANA is on a boat somewhere in the Pacific— so I won’t be at SDCC this weekend. But you can find out more about DIANA (and the triptych it forms with FALL THROUGH and COME AGAIN) at the @abramscomicarts.bsky.social panel this Saturday, July 25th at 10:30am in Room 29CD!

OPINION: "The court did not erase the Voting Rights Act from the books. It did something quieter and more dangerous. It made the law harder to use. "That matters in Mississippi because Mississippi has never had a clean relationship with the ballot box," Duvalier Malone writes.

This is the VERY last day to check out the Athenaeum Comic Gallery at @vaultofmidnight.bsky.social! We wanted to have a time available for the locals who might have been avoiding art fair;) Come check us out from 10 to 8pm! It has been a blast the last few days (minus the smoke)!

A eulogy of sorts by @andrewaydin.bsky.social and myself, and a call to resist mythologizing & carry the torch forward from John Lewis’s passing in 2020– a great reread for today, more relevant each year. www.cnn.com/2020/09/27/o...

Today marks 6 years since John Lewis passed on to the other side. Memories swirling with everywhere we traveled, people & communities moved by our work, bonds forged over those years & how John’s example impacted the lives of my kids at such a young age— still do, and always will. 💜

Nice piece by Andrew & Nate on how MARCH came to be, and the void left by Congressman John Lewis'passing six years ago.
