2011 - Cross Game by Mitsuru Adachi (tr by Ralph Yamada and Lillian Olsen, lettering by Jim Keefe and Mark McMurray)
My actual favorite comic of all time. ...
2013 - Girls' Last Tour by Tsukumizu (translated by Amanda Haley, lettered by Abagail Blackman/Xian Michele Lee).
Cute, thoughtful, morbid, and filled with humanity. Two teenagers ride around post-war ruins of civilization on their halftrack passing the time, trying to survive.
2015 - Equinoxes by Cyril Pedrosa (translated by Montana Kane).
Equinoxes juggles the lives of about ten only tacitly related characters across the span of four seasons. Wildly evolving art per season, intrusions of page-long text, unclear narrative purpose? Perfection.
2019 - Book Of Forks (really, the whole Motherless Oven trilogy) by Rob Davis.
Capping a truly imaginative story with a finale that integrates encyclopdiac entries explaining How The World Works sounds rough but Davis takes the idea and turns it into something magnificent.
Here's a comparison between the original illustration and what I landed on. The article is about the corruption/repurposement of an easy-to-grab symbol, so I started out with muck. It's more ambiguous without but looks better.
+a couple detail shots
Two new illustrations, one for an article on Belfast, another for an article on The United States Of Captain America.
@debaoki @mangasplaining @VIZMedia Another girls baseball story THAT ISN'T A MANGA is the anime Princess Nine. My daughter loves it, even if it was too short.
I finally sat down and read the Immonen's Grass Of Parnassus. I'm honestly not sure what I think. It's kind of like Never As Bad As You Think, which I adore, but more spacey (both in the locational sense but also in the sense that Kathryn's writing is pretty staccato-bonkers).
@TriangularArt Also love Mignola doing insets of small animals saying "beware." Or stuff like this bird saying nothing.
New illustration for an article on Kendrick Lamar's Mr. Morale & the Big Steppers.
