Excellent piece about underground comix:

I remember finding comix by Crumb, etc. in the adult room of a used bookstore in my early teens. I'd sneak in to get them then claim to the clerk that they were in the regular comic book boxes & hope he wasn't the one that stocked them. Fun days, for sure! I still have a big stack of them. Wish I had kept all the issues of Weirdo I owned.

Just finished Daytripper (Vertigo). One of the best things i read lately. Great, original storytelling.

Just re-read Black Hole, all time favourite.

Black Hole is great. Remember buying the first issue and then waiting 10 years for the story to get finished..

Yes me too, tbh I had the hots for the girl with the tail. Was happy for him that he got with her in the end.

I used to read Uncanny X-men when younger, the epic issue was the one where he fights Lady Deathstrike, the artwork was by Barry Windsor Smith.

Weapon X and Not Dead Yet are classics

I love the X-Force comics were Cyclops hires Wolervine to get a black ops squad to execute threats to mutants.  And then they went to do an uncanny x force with wolverine and whole new team it's really good both highly recommended

I know it may seem like it's trying too hard with Riot Grrrl attitude but I've really enjoyed Paper Girl so far. Reading it with my young daughter has helped open her up to other "weird" comics so for that I'm thankful.

I am back in professionally working for the comics industry. Currently helping with documentation and cultural settings of a new science fiction series aimed at late teen early 20's named Odessa xurated bu Antonio Serra (Dylan dog, nathan never, etc). WE did work together on a few articles more than 20 years ago when I was writing Martin Mystere, Italian sci-fi comics.

This might open for me few possibilities to go back into writing, not full time, but enough to have fun.

I am currently preparing some scripts for a French artist I really love and fits more my ideas. Will share name if it goes through, but very excitied.

Happy to learn you are leaning back into the game. Please do keep us updated here.

Just started with book one of Crossed today, but not convinced at all. Will see, bought the two first books. On the other hand i was really stunned by Providence. Anyone know if the books are getting reissued? I borrowed the first book and managed to buy the second and third, but the first seems to be impossible to get without paying stupid prices.
Also reread the definitive From Hell, such a great book.

first issue o crossed was bad, but it improves. still have to understand if i like alan moore's part, it was very badly translated

I wasn't too taken by Crossed. Just seemed like carnage and rape for the sake of it.  Maybe I should have stuck with it but the story bored me after a while.

I enjoyed NAMELESS by Grant Morrison, pretty fucked up but just a 5 (6?) part short story and fairly grim with psychedelic visuals to go with it.
