Recommded Reading: Dean Mullaney and Bruce Canwell's books charting the life and career of Alex Toth, "Artists' Artist"

American comic artist Alex Toth's work is still hugely admired to this day, and well-deserving of a three-book series of guides by Dean Mullaney and Bruce Canwell that chart his amazing 60-year professional career

It's not an accident that Republicans are censoring history books that mention the Nazi Holocaust or American slavery.

steve and bucky, stometime in the 1930s!

it's. like. man, I haven't touched a marvel comic in forever and the mcu is dead to me, but I still love some of those characters so much and god, when winter soldier came out. that sure was an experience :')

anyway. nostalgia!! I ended up writing out a small scene just for kicks, but then I realized that no one was stopping me from drawing it and then it got out of hand because the thumbnails clocked in at a thirty pages, but I've cut it down to twelve through the power of editing, so. in the year 2023. I started working on a pre-serum stucky fancomic.

this feels like something I was doing a decade ago and I feel like I've been transported back in time lmao. you never forget your favorite comics or their movie adaptions!!

"Patton points to the Addressing Challenges Committee’s resources for librarians on the GNCRT website, which include a toolkit to aid comics librarians in preparing for and dealing with challenges. The committee also recently launched a zine project, inviting comics creators, readers, and library workers to create zines about the importance of libraries and the freedom to read. The committee plans to display the zines digitally and physically at the ALA Annual 2024 and is hoping to publish an anthology."

Wisps in the Americas

I can't say I know much about the historical background of this cartoon, but if you look on the right side, you'll see a barely-visible white light, which is supposed to be a will-o'-the-wisp.

Here's a not-great-quality zoomed in version focused more closely on the little wisp.

The background given by the Library of Congress is as follows:

About this Item: Title - Ignis fatuus / Th. Nast. Summary - Print shows men lurking in a swamp at nighttime; one man slices a poster entitled "Military Bill" with a knife; one man wears a hat that says "Ex-CSA"; snakes laugh in the foreground; and a will o' the wisp containing the words "Hope Connecticut" hovers over the water. Names - Nast, Thomas, 1840-1902, artist Created / Published - 1867

I wonder how wisps have managed to become a coherent, popularized singular type of entity in the modern day. I have no doubt that there was evolution (and likely appropriation) from some previous entities to the present idea of a wisp. Perhaps finding out when the European motif of wisps reached the United States will assist me in solving the puzzle of what previous entities or phenomena added characteristics to today's depictions of wisps.

Let's talk about books for young minds

Two books which would make a marvelous addition to Wood Street Mission's 'Books Forever Appeal' are, 'I Sang You Down From the Stars' by Tasha Spillett-Sumner and 'Osnat and Her Dove' by Sigal Samuel.

These are ideal for kids aged 4-11 and both books engage young reader's in Native American heritage and traditional Jewish storytelling. In last year's 'Books Forever Appeal', both were a much welcomed contribution.

Donating to Wood Street Mission’s ‘Books Forever Appeal’ couldn’t be easier! You can drop off a book in person or have it delivered direct to the Wood Street Mission, 26 Wood Street, Manchester, M3 3EF, The UK.
