Jewish Life Stories: A pioneering woman comic book artist...
By Andrew Silow-Carroll April 23, 2024
"Trina Robbins, 85, the first woman to draw a full issue of “Wonder Woman...”
In 2023, at the first-ever Jewish Comics Experience convention, Robbins was awarded the Macherke Award for lifetime achievement for works that included “Escape Artist,” a graphic biography of Holocaust survivor and cartoonist Lily Renee, and “A Minyen Yidn,” her adaptation of Yiddish short stories by her father, Muttel (Mutye) Perechudnik.

Chris Claremont’s ‘Wolverine: Deep Cut’ ses to tell untold tale starting July 2024
Set during the X-Men’s beloved “Outback Era,” Chris Claremont and Edgar Salazar reunite in WOLVERINE: DEEP CUT, the latest “retro pick” X-Men series coming this July!
In 2012 I self-published a 30-page #comic, DELILAH DIRK AND THE SEEDS OF GOOD FORTUNE.
11 years later, in 2023, despite the default pay-what-you-want price being $0.00 and only being available in (DRM-free) PDF format from one obscure store, it made up 5% of my #book "royalties."
It's not the complete picture, but take from that what you will.
Hello! I finally did a small print run of my horror #comic about burnout, The Paradox - and you can get one from my Ko-Fi shop here: https://ko-fi.com/s/ec225dca30
Heading to the post office to ship some out tomorrow!
This week!
🐭 Early dream-scape concepts from my 2020 childrens' book LET'S GET SLEEPY!,
🤲 some joy-filled recommendations,
👬 and notes on staying connected now that Tinyletter has shut down and Tumblr is behaving carelessly.
(In the spirit of staying connected, it's a free public post, too.)
I was at Ollie's yesterday with my wife and I stumbled into finding the third omnibus of the Batman: Knightfall story, also referred to as "Knights End."
It was $5. I thought about it for a moment, then remembered that I had a gift card that I had not used from Christmas from Amazon, so I could just pick up Volumes 1 and 2 easily.
So, looks like I'm re-reading Knightfall for the first time since I was about 10.
In this week's post, a short video revealing one dumb, fun little thing I did while I was flatting DELILAH DIRK AND THE TURKISH LIEUTENANT, just to amuse myself. No one else was meant to see it, but YOU can, now.
Over the last few weeks I've been doing a retrospective deep-dive into DELILAH DIRK AND THE TURKISH LIEUTENANT, a graphic novel I started making almost 18 years ago, and which was published ten years ago.
The posts explore ideas of style, tone, regrets, and youthful hubris, among other things. Also compares different, secret! versions of the finished work!
