Consider this a blanket recommendation of all the magazines put out by TwoMorrows Publishing (issuers of my own tome, advertised at the bottom of this page). But I especially enjoy The Jack Kirby Collector, Comic Book Artist and Alter Ego…and I really enjoyed the latest Alter Ego. One side has an in-depth look at the great artist Lou Fine. The other has lotsa stuff by and about one of my favorite comic book writers (and a helluva nice guy), Arnold Drake. Drake was the co-creator/writer of Deadman and The Doom Patrol, to name but a small chunk of his fine work. He always struck me as one of those writers who had a lot more to offer comics than comics had to offer him.
Political stuff: This column by David S. Broder is worth a look but if you don't have time to click that link, I'll summarize: Says he, George W. is determined to launch a war and topple Hussein, and the White House can't be bothered to give us a coherent, consistent explanation as to why this is necessary or justified.
