Today in Comics History, October 27: Happy birthday, Dylan Thomas!

Born on this dayy in 1914: Welsh poet and author Dylan Thomas (Under Milk Wood, A Child's Christmas in Wales, Portrait of the Artist as a Young Dog, "Do not go gentle into that good night," "And death shall have no dominion," and more).


from Preacher #26 (DC/Vertigo, June 1997), script by Garth Ennis, pencils and inks by Steve Dillon, colors by Matt Hollingsworth, letters by Clem Robins




Dylan Thomas meets Aleister Crowley and talks about mirrors on the radio!\\



from The Witches of World War II (TKO, April 2023), script by Paul Cornell, art by Valeria Burzo, colors by Jordie Bellaire, letters by Simon Bowland

Dylan Thomas was also (and not a lot of people know this) an avid fanboy of Image Comics!

Penblwydd hapus, Dylan Thomas!

    Excellent Cthulhu impression by that pile of clothing in The Witches of World War II.

    At first I thought it might be a deflated elephant or the Helm of Morpheus, but… oh, geez; now I’m distracted by ’Mazing Man’s face on the cabinet next to the pile.
