the sleep of cthulhu, aeons deep.

i’m not sure this is a really straight ahead argument, so much as it is a series of reflections and ruminations, and i’m sorry it’s all in lower case. it’s a bad habit, one of which zom, probably quite rightly, does not approve.

he would want you to know that, i’m sure.

Of course, neither myself nor anyone writing inside the walls of this blog are going to have a problem with nonsense, be it outright nonsense, stupid nonsense, or nonsense for nonsense’s sake. It’s a Marvel comic, nonsense is what it does best, and it is the best there is at what it does. But what about nonsense mad enough to think it’s Important? Or nonsense sane and brittle enough to knows it’s nonsense but try to pass itself off as Important? Are both of those things not high art crimes?

Gary Lactus and myself recently went along to the Hypercomics exhibition being held at the Pump House gallery in Battersea Park. It’s part of the excellent Comica festival a truly diverse celebration of comics culture, which has been running since 2003. It featured the work of four very different comics creators: Warren Pleece, Daniel Merlin Goodbrey, Dave McKean and Adam Dant. But what exactly is ‘Hypercomics’? Well, why not allow the exhibition’s curator, erstwhile British comics legend, creator of the legendary Escape magazine and all round decent bloke, Paul Gravett fill us in…

A weekly strip by Fraser Geesin (sorry).

Zom and Bobsy are away this week and so mindless activity this week has been scarce.  That Amusing Brothers strip with the drawing of a penis must not stay at the top of the page any longer.  Here’s some links which will  get that childish and off-putting member off the top of the screen whilst providing you with some stimuli.

• Graham Linehan tweeted a link the other day to 75 Action Comics covers that are worth their weight in gold. I was diverted for a good twenty minutes.

• Here’s a treat from The Comics Journal.  It’s a video visit to Hope Street Studios in Glasgow where we get to see Frank Quitely work on his fancy shmancy computer doing some lovely drawing.  All Star Superman colourist Jamie Grant is also featured. Probably worth mentioning while we’re here that Mindless cohort iamus is part of the Hope Street gang, and I’m sort of sorry that time he went up to see them at Jamie’s invitation and I never, I kind of regret, but also, I think they maybe expected you to have a talent of some sort and I’d only have brought a bottle of wine, so maybe some relief there too.
• Lastly, courtesy archaeologist of the half-remembered Joe McCulloch, in his must-always-read This Week in Comics column, some amazing Italo-beats with Neil Gaiman, shyly perving on some devil girl. Oh, Neil.
