Friday at the Atelier

Friday at the Atelier is an odd but strangely charming manga by Sakura Hamada. Office woman Emiko is tired of life. We meet her on her way home after work thinking, “I want to die… but first… I suppose I should buy groceries for dinner. Which should I do first?” Exhausted adults will relate. She nearly stumbles over a man, collapsed on the sidewalk. She checks on him, and he asks her to model for him. He is a famous [...]

How to Grill Our Love Volume 4

I decided it was finally time to read all those digital volumes I’d accumulated, and I continued enjoying How to Grill Our Love by Shiori Hanatsuka, so I thought I’d share a couple of thoughts. In How to Grill Our Love volume 4, husband Kenta and wife Chihiro are getting used to being around each other more. She’s working on moving from Tokyo to where he lives, but in the meantime, they’re having a summer vacation together, which means visiting [...]

RIP KC Carlson

My husband of 25 years, KC Carlson, passed away last night. He had had cancer for a couple of years and Alzheimers for longer, so I am glad he is no longer suffering, and that his body has caught up with where his mind had gone. KC had a long and varied career in comics, doing just about everything at one time or another. In addition to his best-known work editing the Superman and Legion of Super-Heroes families of comics, [...]

Author Vs. Illustrator

Author Vs. Illustrator is a children’s book that wonderfully explains how two people can work together to make a comic story. It’s written by Donald Lemke and illustrated by Bob Lentz. It’s an oversized hardcover, but the two characters — writer Don is the yellow one with spiky hair and artist Bob is the softer pink one — talk in color-coded dialog balloons, often with more than one “panel” (but with no borders) per page. So it really walks the [...]

The Dog Sitter Detective Plays Dead

The Dog Sitter Detective Plays Dead is the third in the cozy mystery series by Antony Johnston, just out. I previously enjoyed (and reviewed) the first, The Dog Sitter Detective. This one’s even more fun because we see our protagonist, Gwinny Tuffel, return to her previous career of actress. She’s playing Dr. Seward on a gender-swapped vampire movie called Draculania. But she’s still got a dog companion. The production happens to be filming on location in an old manor house [...]

The Mysterious Affair at Styles: First in the Mini Mysteries Line

Now that fandom has become more acceptable and doesn’t make its practitioners social pariahs, and earlier fan generations now have children or grandchildren, you get some very interesting products for young ones. Previously disposable entertainment is often transformed so that adults can share their love with their kids (whether the kids are interested or not). Take, for example, the first in the Mini Mysteries children’s book line, Agatha Christie’s The Mysterious Affair at Styles, as written by Marci Kay Monson [...]

Somerset Holmes

I checked out Somerset Holmes because of my Sherlock Comics website. Turns out this comic has nothing to do with the great detective. But it was a history lesson on its own, showing that trying to break into movies via comics is nothing new.
