Batman will take you down at any size.

Double-page spread by Walt Simonson (pencils) and Klaus Janson (inks) from the adaptation of Close Encounters of the Third Kind in Marvel Super Special #3, 1978.

We know it’s not exactly a brave opinion or anything, but we love some Walt Simonson over here at Wednesday Comics.

the greatest Superman-related moment of the last 25 years, from Chris Ware and Jimmy Corrigan

Still an effective set of panels!

Wednesday Comics has nothing to add here.

themarvelageofcomics:

John Romita’s concept sketch for a Li’l Spidey strip that went unrealized in the 1960s.

Wednesday Comics would’ve read the hell out of this.

Misfit and Big Barda!!

I am sorry but this picture is too wonderful and cannot be allowed!

Wednesday Comics could die of an excess of amazing, right here.

Forgotten Masterpiece: “Landed” by ECO (Keiichi Koike) from Epic Illustrated #26, published by Marvel/Epic, October 1984.

Marvel letter page titles circa 1968 part one.

Wednesday Comics never wrote to letter columns, but once advertised for pen pals in the back of The Maxx. Wednesday Comics was very, very lonely in the late ’90s. So very lonely.

Webcomic Wednesday - “The Ghoul Man” by Jaime Hernandez

Even a minor work matters when it’s made by someone major. One half of the comics-making team known as Los Bros Hernandez, Jaime is best known for his long-running “Locas” saga in the pages of Love and Rockets, the series he shares with his brother Gilbert. That story started out sci-fi but grew into a grippingly realistic portrayal of a gaggle of friends and acquaintances with shared roots in Los Angeles’s Latino punk scene. Still, Jaime likes to flex his genre muscles from time to time, and “The Ghoul Man,” originally a limited-run minicomic now up on Jordan Crane’s webcomics portal What Things Do, demonstrates why that’s worth doing.

The spitting image of Lon Chaney in The Phantom of the Opera, the titular ghoul arises and shambles around town looking for flesh to devour, only to be put off the chase by a series of encounters with other monsters — werewolves, mummies, a Frankenstein’s monster, and in the memorable diner encounter above, a vampire. When the ghoul first approaches her, we and he consider her just another potential victim. But her tear-streaked face indicates right off the bat that she’s got a story of her own, something that narcissists like the ghoul fail to take into consideration when dealing with other people. Sure enough, she’s in the diner for the same reason she is, and she’s got the power and the guts to scare him off and commandeer this chapter of his adventure for her own.

It’s great fun just to watch an artist at Jaime’s level draw a cast of characters straight out of a black-and-white B-movie — I mean, no one in comics uses big black swashes with as much graphic impact or storytelling clarity; just look at how the blacks in the sequence above move your eye around the page. But he’s doing it in service of saying something, too, and that’s the kind of treat worth browsing around for.

starting another Wednesday Comics with a Jaime Hernandez mini-comic, The Ghoul Man (which the original post didn’t link to, for some reason).

Why should we care about women’s representation in video games?”

Nobody is going to want a female protagonist!

Their target audience isn’t big enough to warrant any games!”

Women aren’t as capable as men, they don’t belong in video games!”

If more women starting playing video games, maybe then they’d have a say in the matter!”
