Ed Piskor is the creator behind the hit series Hip Hop Family Tree and X-Men: Grand Design and co-host of the popar Croostist Kayfabe. This past weekend, he was accused by multiple women for grooming and other wrongdoing. A fellow comic creator shared screenshots of conversations she and Piskor had through Instagram Stories. They’ve since been deleted. The screenshots featured conversations dated…

I just picked up X-Men Grand Design yesterday too. RIP Ed Piskor. An incredible talent lost to the insanity of the internet. When in doubt, just log off.

Feeling a little morose about the recent passing of one of my favorite comic book artists, Ed Piskor, so I sketched some of his drawings and a more realistic drawing of him from a photo. RIP sir. Tell MCA I said hi.

Ed Piskor is one of the cohosts of Cartoonist Kayfabe and the creator of Red Room, Wizzywig and the big book Chris is reading here, Hip Hop Family Tree! I decided to try have a go at the cover for the brand new Omnibus edition he's been promoting.

The series documents the early years and rise of Hip Hop, talking about the pioneers like Grandmaster Flash, Run DMC and even the Beastie Boys! There were 12 issues in total, published by Fantagraphics. No idea if Mr. Ice does make an appearance or not...

(as a first-time adult viewer i was worried i wouldn't be able to Access the Magic. but i could and i did and it was incredible. that was culture. that was ART. joy distilled into animated form. holy rites of childhood. i understand now. how glorious, this world we grow out of. how full of marvels. i'm going outside to smell grass and sun and get dirt under my fingernails. miraculous.)
