Stuff Bully Got: A postcard from Metropolis!

I got a postcard from Metropolis, home of Superman (Also, of Clark Kent, but I'm sure that's just a coincidence), from Pal Jon Morris! And look, he drew me a lovely portrait of Super-Bull! Thank you so much, Jon!



Go pre-order Jon's new book (ad) and buy his two other books about the League of Regrettables, too! They're great fun!


Thanks again, Jon!

Comics at Housing Works: What I bought at Housing Works for myself


Naw, I'm only kidding about buying that whole big blue bag of comics — that's what I use to carry stock upstairs from the basement!

But I did buy some great comics at Housing Works Bookstore and Café, where I volunteer in the comics department, and I've been meanin' to show them to y'all!


(Yes, lots of Kirby reprints. And Mxyzptlk comics. And one where a razor turns into a robot.)

I actually hardly ever buy floppies anymore (I'm more digital now) but these are goin' on my comics spinner!


Remember, that's Housing Works at 126 Crosby St., where you can buy fine comics just like these! Well, not just like these, because these are mine. But there's some other great ones there, too.

Today in Comics History, May 23, 1983 and 2001: Bad News, Good News

There are newspapers! Of course there are. Well, let's read the terrible headline first:


from Back to the Future: Biff to the Future #5 (IDW, June 2017), story and script by Bob Gale and Derek Fridolfs, pencils by Alan Robinson, inks by Alan Robinson and Jaime Castro, colors by Maria Santaolalla, letter by Shawn Lee

GREAT SCOTT! How's Doc Brown gonna get out of this one? Oh! (sees there is one issue left) Well, it's not like a comic book ever served up a cliffhanger before, but I'll wait and see.

Meanwhile, here's the good news, or at least the puff piece. Really, was it that newsless in Metropolis on that day, Perry?



from Wonder Woman (1987 series) #170 (July 2001), script by Phil Jimenez and Joe Kelly, pencils by Phil Jimenez, inks by Andy Lanning, colors by Patricia Mulvihill, color separations by Heroic Age, letters by Comicraft

Geez, why doncha marry her, Lois?
