Batman Harley and Ivy #1part 1

Here's part 1 of a little Batman series from Dc Comics and Warner Brothers. If you're a fan of Batman the Animated Series, you'll notice the artwork is done in that same style. Batman here is not the main focus, the main focus is the team of Harley and Poison Ivy. It's a cool little comic, and I've scanned in the first 10 pages for you. It ends on a high note, just into pg-13 territory. Batman's latest it's not, but it's a good one none the less. If you're a feminist, you might enjoy that there is a comic book story arc that features two very strong and opinionated women and not just victims ready to get saved by the super hero.

So without further ado...or however they say it, here's Batman Harley and Ivy #1 part 1, click the images to get bigger scans and enjoy. Stay tuned for part 2 of this issue #1 of Batman Harley and Ivy #1:

























Once again, enjoy this and come back for part 2 sooner than later.

Family Guy or Bush Cabinet Comparisons

Recently, Mad Magazine went GREEN. Well, they were losing so much green that my 1 year subscription turned into a 4 year subscription because they only publish quarterly now.

It's so lame.

But here is a couple of scans that compares The Bush Cabinet to Family Guy...they are eerily similar. Click the images to get a bigger scan:

Daredevil Exists

This morning I was reading the news and stumbled across a news story that claims people have been developing their senses more and more. This particular story basically claims that real life Daredevils can exist! Yeah it's farfetched, but it looks interesting none the less.

A Conversation with Kim Thompson of Fantagraphics Books

Amazon's book blog recently sat down with Fantagrphics rep Kim Thompson and they were talking about the latest graphic novel that has come out...here's a snippet.

Amazon.com: How did you first encounter Jason's work, and how did Fantagraphics decide to publish it?

Kim Thompson: To be honest, I'm not sure if his Norwegian publisher sent me copies or I saw the French edition of Hey, Wait..., but I do know that the minute I laid eyes on it I knew we wanted to publish it. Love at first sight!

Amazon.com: Was he the first comic artist you translated? What others do you translate now?

KT: No, no, not by a wide margin. I was translating Freddy Milton (Danish), Franquin and Hermann (French) and others way back in the 1980s, twenty years ago.

I translate pretty much every European foreign-language cartoonist we publish except for Matti Hagelberg who is Finnish (Finnish is well outside of my area of expertise) and a couple who do their own translations, such as Max Andersson. A more or less complete list of cartoonists whose comics I've worked on in the last couple years would be Nikoline Werdelin (Danish); Joost Swarte (Dutch); David B., Emile Bravo, Killoffer, Jacques Tardi, and Lewis Trondheim (French); Nicolas Mahler (German); Gabriella Giandelli, Igort, Leila Marzocchi, and Sergio Ponchione (Italian); Jason (Norwegian or French); Max (Spanish); and Martin Kellerman (Swedish). I also translated a bunch of captions from many of those languages in our upcoming book of ANTI-WAR CARTOONS.

In case you're wondering, I don't actually SPEAK all of those languages, but I can read them, more or less in some cases. My mother is Danish so Danish is my native language. Swedish and Norwegian are so close to Danish (they're basically almost dialects of one another -- in fact Norwegian and Danish were the same language not too long ago) that with a little work any Dane can read them pretty well, as I do. I learned Spanish in high school and kept up with it. I lived for six years in Germany and also studied German in high school, so that stuck with me too. I lived for three years in Holland. Italian is my weakest language, I sort of plow my way through that thanks to French and Spanish and use of a dictionary -- but all my Italian translations I always check with the authors anyway.

Robin is Gay

I never liked Robin. I just never did. I always thought he was a wuss and never did anything too important. Then I really got into comics and a lot of people made jokes that Robin is Gay. Well recently someone has been updating comic art from the 80's style guide of dc comics and I saw this...maybe Robin is gay.

Another Reason Why Iron Man 2 Will Suck

Here is yet another reason why Iron Man 2 will suck. I didn't really like the first film, but here is Samuel L. Jackson talking about Nick Fury in Iron Man 2...and you might not like what he says:

Never mind the environment, we said, Nick Fury is sure to be kickin’ butt and taking names alongside Tony Stark in the “Iron Man” sequel, right? Not so, according to Jackson. In fact, when we caught up with the actor during an event commemorating the 20th anniversary of Spike Lee’s film “Do The Right Thing,” Jackson said fans will likely have to wait for “The Avengers” for Fury to see some action.
