Escape Pod Comics @EscapePodComics 302 Main St, Huntington NY Escape Pod Comics got in touch with us via twitter, keen to spread the good word: Free Comic Book Day, like all comics on all days, should be there for anybody who’s interested. They sounded like our kind of people, so we asked them about their…
Collaborative Review: Hidden, Out Today
First Second brings us Hidden, out today. By Loïc Dauvillier, translated from its original French, with art from Marc Lizano and inks by Greg Salsedo, it is a Holocaust education story for younger children. Hidden follows the story of Dounia, who tells her granddaughter the story of her experience during the Holocaust as a little girl….
Reading in Downward Dog: The WWAC Help-You-Out Workout Resource
Reader, I’m planning something. Something to do with… …Sports and exercise. And comics.
FCBD: 8th Dimension Comics
Annie Bulloch, 8th Dimension Comics, Texas You know Annie from her excellent Cook Your Comics recipes, here on WWAC — but a number of our twitter followers (f’rex: this one) also know her from her role at 8th Dimension Comics, where she’s co-owner. Putting her shop hat on, she answered our FCBD survey! How long have…
The Apparel Question: Look Good With WWAC
What we want to know, is: Which colours do you favour? We’re showing white below, but that’s a placeholder. What sort of shirt, or tote, or hat, or [x merchandise option] are you really here for? Would you rather wear printed or embroidered apparel? Would you avoid joining our sartorial posse if we sourced shirts…
Kickstarter of the Week: forgive me, it’s a Patreon
Paul Duffield’s work–with Warren Ellis writing and Kate Brown colouring–on Freakangels won him not one, but two Eagle awards. Freakangels is available in collected editions, released by legitimate publishers, but it is and was available page by page online, for free. That’s becoming a more common practice for creator-owned projects, and it’s the same model…
WWACRadio: still in English, but bonjour, bandes dessineés!
Yes! WWACRadio is back. And talking English to a French man who reads comics in French–from France, Belgium and Canada, for a start–and turns them into English. Happily then I can read them, and I can write about them. A lot. (“Lot” isn’t linked there because my review of Chimpanzee Complex, a book about responsibility and…
I’ll try it: An introduction to Moomins and the Muskrat’s biscuits
Moomins! Last time I wrote on the subject, some of you–some of us–looked at me in puzzlement, your little faces frowning sweetly. Just what is a Moomin, Claire? Oh! What fun we shall have, as I show you. And if you already know, hold tight, we’re debuting a new feature at the bottom of the…
Buffy, Buffy Comics, adaptations & portraiture: roundtable!
We get previews and alerts and review pdfs in our inboxes, and we don’t go full-interest on every one. (This is behind the scenes stuff, hold tight.) We don’t discuss everything, either, not by a long way; usually we each take a hold of what looks interesting to us, and occasionally one of our…
Short & Sweet: Wolf Spider Bikini Bingo

Godzilla in America: All downhill from Raymond Burr?
https://womenwriteaboutcomics.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/Godzilla_Roar-Marc-1912765428.mp3 Godzilla. Cool. New Godzilla? Cool. New Godzilla made by America? No use mumbling. '54 Godzilla's a film about post-atomic destruction. From Japan; the country that had atomic bombs dropped on two major cities and countless individual humans less than nine years prior. America dropped the bombs. Do the United States have a culture with anything to...
Down Set Fight Ride: Chris Sims’ structure play-by-play
Down Set Fight is just the right title for the book that it is. Short. Violent. Peppy. To the point. It’s nominally about American football–but I don’t even keep an awareness of our regular English sort, and I got on with it just fine.
