IDW Publishing has announced it will publish the award winning The Dreamland Chronicles in a monthly format. While the website features all the new material first, reading a dramatic story, like the current arc, can be quite frustrating as there aren’t any pages to turn once you reach the end. The monthly format will work great for the Christian Sava tale. Dreamland tells the story of Alexander Carter and his discovery of a necklace that takes him to a magical world of his childhood dreams. There he finds danger, adventure, and romance. Every night he enters Dreamland, a world filled…

IDW Publishing has announced plans to publish the entire run of Noel Sickles Scorchy Smith series that ran in newspapers from 1933-1936. During the three years that Noel Sickles wrote and illustrated Scorchy Smith, he revolutionized the field when he moved away from the heavy black outlines predominant in the comic strips of the day. He adopted storytelling techniques from the motion pictures, while relying on brushwork to create a looser, chairoscuro representation of people, action, and scenery. Pete Hamill observed, “Sickles was the first artist to use the brush boldly, in an impressionistic way.” “Scorchy Smith became a primer…

Or – “F! X! No Static At ALLLLLL…” Back in the early 80’s, when I started reading comics heavily, I would buy anything drawn by George Perez or John Byrne. At that time, Perez was working pretty much exclusively for DC, and Byrne was Marvel’s Golden Boy, which I contend led to my current love for and roughly encyclopedic knowledge of both universes. In recent years, though, work by either of them is becoming harder and harder to find, especially on a monthly basis. I don’t know if it was the familiarity of John’s art that drew me to this…
