Extra Issues – Fantagraphics #2: Eightball by Daniel Clowes

by Leave a Comment

Zackdick the Comic-Fucker and Charlotte Coleslaw are joined this month by Dave Puesing, founder and CEO of Comic Book Herald. On this episode, we’re covering the seminal Eightball by Daniel Clowes. We’re talking issues #1-18 (what’s included in The Complete Eightball collection).

Topics discussed:
– Can the comic succeed simply by expressing the inner mind of its author, warts and all? If so, for how long?
– Is Dan Pussey the most brutal take-down of comics out there?
– Is bugfucking the height or nadir of comedy?

My Favorite Graphic Novels of January 2024

by Leave a Comment

Below you’ll find my favorite graphic novels or collected editions released in January 2024. Generally, I’m looking to keep the selections to collections released for the first-time, but I’ll make some special exceptions for Omnibus or Deluxe Editions. I’ve ordered the selections in relative preference, in ascending order.

Please keep in mind this is *not* the same thing as my favorite single issue comics of the month, although while I’m thinking about it that list includes the following this month:

Ultimate Spider-Man #1

Rise of the Powers of X #1

Resurrection of Magneto #1

Don’t hesitate to let me know any of your favorites I may have missed via dave@comicbookherald.com!
