Come say hi!  (chat is at the bottom of the page!).

Sooooo my comic shop just told me you are signing there on FCD. I'm so excited!

This is Fantastic Comics in Berkeley?

I am so excited, I have never been to Berkeley but I hear the store is amazing!

HELP US SAVE HERO SUPPORT

Background:

March 28th, Hero Support, a local comic shop owned by Becky Dotson and her husband sustained some pretty incredible fire damage.  Their insurance will only cover part of the cost of repairs.

Normally, I don’t post things like this, but this is in my area– and I know the people involved.  The owners are a team that have made their comic shop a safe place for fans and gamers of all ages
.Becky goes out of her way to encourage little girls to get into comics and games. She works tirelessly to be a positive force in the community; actively policing the kind of clientele that comes into the shop.  Which is kind of a big deal, given that they host My Little Pony viewing parties for the local kids and have events to help promote reading. It is really hard to find comic stores that make it a point to be inclusive to women and children.

What I am offering:

Sketch commissions offered SAME-DAY. 100% of these proceeds are going to Hero Support.
If you want to donate directly to their GoFundMe, and still want art– just provide me with a receipt/invoice from your contribution!

Signal Boosting is super-appreciated.

This is a terribly sad story. I hate when any comic shops have to go through this, let alone one in the Pacific Northwest. Please take a look and help if you can!

Grant Morrison seems like a creator who is big on encouraging diversity, but doesn't get saddled with all of the "SJW" garbage. I'm sure a big part of that is him being a straight white cis male, but creators like Greg Rucka, for example, still get at lea

He does get some blowback, I’ve witnessed it. But I also think, to be frank, that some of it is accessibility. Some creators are available via Tumblr and Twitter and blogs and such, and I think that makes them a little more vulnerable to some of those charges. If you think Grant did something awful, most people are not likely to get a chance to convey that to him and they are aware of that, whereas you can post to Twitter, Tumblr, or Greg’s webpage and have a reasonably assurance he will see it.

I don’t think that’s the only factor, but I think it’s one of the balls in play, for sure.

Oh, My God

Dale Eaglesham just concocted the most BRILLIANT and totally naughty cover for Secret Six. It’s so great, I almost can’t stand it.

I am hoping that this gets approved, it is AMAZING.

And more than a little filthy!
