THIS WEEK IN COMICS! (5/23/12 – Variations)
Echoes and reflections of comics in fine art, albeit not so fine that I couldn’t obtain it while waiting on my latte and a $1.00 slice of cheesecake. (I had a coupon.)

No, really, you should go read Ryan Holmberg’s column first. Did you? Okay, I’ve got Danes.
Lord, what day is it? This column’s still good, right? I mean good as in ‘useful,’ naturally.
On one hand, I do not have Jonathan Lethem in this column. But on the other, I’ve got an explosion of Japanese comics from New York City! Wait, why is my hand exploding? That’s terrible.
Prepare yourself for journeys to the past and future, where maximum love and minimal savings await!
Winter is coming, my friends, as are spoilers for recent zombie-like funnies.
The best in delicate French cartooning of the 1960s (not pictured) is waiting for you inside! Provided you have money! But not much!!
Alright, no, I’m just trying to drum up some extra hits for all the new comics I’m covering inside. Is that so bad? Yes.
A few words about the human element in manufactured fun.
This week a secret co-writer joins me in discussing Chantal Montellier, Robert Crumb, and the disease of the instincts. Plus, new and old books, with and without pictures.
Homage to a horny goof.
In uttering the correct pronunciation of Métal Hurlant last week, Dan Nadel summoned the powers of the Atom Style to my command, damning us all. Plus: upcoming comics.
Kramers Ergot: the early years – EXPOSED. Feel free to scroll down for upcoming comics!
Quite a lively lineup of artists old and new; if you’ve got a great shop, you’ll be glad for it this week.
Scalding passion is one click away.
The return of a very special comic book serial, along with odd revivals and vintage kids.
Unless he gets either of today’s Spotlight Picks; then he’s gonna have to stay in the hole for a month to save.
I included my finder’s fee in the above total, just so you know.
A brief one this week, as reprints issue, revamps form, and my apartment gradually reheats.
I AM TOTALLY NOT A PURITAN, GOSH! Naked fairies and obscure publishing in this one, make sure you’re not at the pulpit.
Racing into the new year with a barrel full of picks and pistol’s worth of… brief introductory material!
Comics wait for nobody, and thus we have a brief holiday update. I got a smoothie machine.
Don’t get yourself down. It’s just another end of time.
Airbrush dreams and narrow escapes; ain’t that a con?
