🔗 Newest Edition Of Alan Moore’s Batman: The Killing Joke Costs Over $17,000: “Based out of Croatia, Argent Comics “re-engineers DC’s iconic narratives into fine art artefacts.” Their first outing with this pitch is Batman: The Killing Joke Avant-Garde Edition.

There will only be 47 copies made, representing the atomic number of the silver-like Hahnemühle metallic paper…” | Kotaku
THE VOID (A USER'S GUIDE)
If you've followed my work or internet brain for any period of time at all, you've no doubt learned that I call that hellish interregnum between the conclusion of a project and the start of another The Void (and yes, The The, as in The Morkie, is capitalized); this, The Void, being where I happen to be at the moment. So, thanks to a chat with the inimitable Kay Sohini (follow her work with abandon; it's brilliant) about our respective navigations of The Void, I found a way to cook a creature I scribbled into this little zine about what, exactly, The Void is. You can read it here (or by clicking through the cover above); if you'd like a physical copy, hit me up.
Partway through the first volume of this and I’m so hooked that I went ahead and picked up all six volumes.
RETURN OF THE SCORPION!
Been fascinated by this little Dime Action Book’s existence since I wrote my book on comics and transmedia back in 2012 (ohmyfuck it’s been HOW long??): CAPT. MARVEL: RETURN OF THE SCORPION is one of the earliest (if not the earliest?) instances of a sequel to a film – in this case, Republic Pictures’ seminal THE ADVENTURES OF CAPTAIN MARVEL serial (I am and forever will be a movie serial otaku) – that’s done in a different medium than the original. Chuffed to finally add it to The Collection.
