What Makes a HIDDEN GEM? 3 Comics I LOVE! For the Love of Comics 2023-04-24 | Three very different comics - a stark and subversive western, a near-silent near-romance, and a mockumentary-style satire of comics collectors and human behaviour - have one thing in common: my adoration. And I also find them...underrated? Misunderstood? Unjustly overlooked? Unfairly dismissed? Join me as I try and find out exactly what makes Bloody Chester, A Taste of Chlorine, and Wimbledon Green three favourite comics of mine.Videos I mention here: @earlgrey862 's look at some more recent Bastien Vives works: youtu.be/MWIXduVuWfo'Best Graphic Album' Winners!

A London Comics Experience | Sunday Livestream! For the Love of Comics 2023-03-27 | Thanks to a recent work trip to the UK, I got to spend one free Saturday in London. And that was put to good use thanks to friend of the channel Paul Hatcher, who not only handed me a stack of British and American comics he had been curating and gathering for me, but also took me to Gosh! Comics, an absolutely wonderful comics store. Now I'm back home and I invite you to join me this Sunday for a little chat about the experience, including a look at the couple of books I picked up at Gosh, as well the huge stack of books that represent Paul's curriculum for me on British comics (expect plenty of 2000 AD!)
A Perfect Stranger: Six Comics by GUY DELISLE! For the Love of Comics 2023-03-12 | Through Shenzen, Pyongyang, Burma Chronicles, Jerusalem, Hostage, and Factory Summers, writer-artist Guy Delisle has charted a path through foreignness, outsiderness, and dislocation in hilarious and heartbreaking ways. In this episode, I look at these six comics to trace the history of this 'perfect stranger' and his bemused, confused, irate, and kind view of the world at large.

CLASSICS ILLUSTRATED : A Personal Overview | Sunday Livestream! For the Love of Comics 2023-02-20 | What is the the 'Classic Illustrated' line of comics? And are they ...you know...any good? I've had a variety of experiences with some of these comics: eye-opening and rewarding, but also sometimes disappointing, and not a little confusing.

My MOST MEMORABLE COMICS READS of 2022 | Part One For the Love of Comics 2023-01-10 | Here's a look back at, and a rumination on, 2022 through the comics that have stuck with me. I didn't look up a list of reads or purchases, just made a list of what I first thought of. That's why there's a bit more rambling here than usual, as I try to connect them all through the lens of 'me in 2022'. A very happy new year everyone, and happy reading and discussing for a long, long time to come.

Comics from Friends, Comics from Stores! Sunday Livestream! For the Love of Comics 2022-12-05 | It's been a while since my last livestream, and there's been quite a build-up of packages in the last few months, so it makes sense to combine them! Join me for a live wander through a variety of comics received from friends (in Sweden, the UK, and the USA) as well as some new purchases I've yet to sink my teeth into. There's a fair amount to go through, and then there's my tendency to ramble and meander, so who know how long this will run? So on Sunday December 4th, let's hang out and talk comics, what say you?

How this story changed the way I read comics! For the Love of Comics 2022-05-29 | George Pérez and Marv Wolfman's Teen Titans is considered a bona fide classic of superhero comics, but I knew nothing of it when I first read #18 over thirty years ago. In 23 pages, it fundamentally changed the way I looked at comics, even though I may not have realised it at the time. In this episode, I take a deep dive into what made this so special, what it taught me, and the effect it has on my comics reading to this day. Here's a personal, autobiographical and nostalgia-tinged view of'A Pretty Girl is Like A Maladi!', by George Pérez and Marv Wolfman, a classic 80s standalone superhero tale.00:00 A Certain Kind of Nostalgia02:09 Main Titles02:19 A Quick Readthrough10:07 What I Loved; What I Learned14:20 A Few of My Favourite Things24:36 Viewer guesses!The Single Issues I Love playlist, featuring Uncle Scrooge, Animal Man, Astro City, Spider-Man and more: youtube.com/playlist?list=PLf2B7UoR9NKUGIbShHylu4sDbqrvPnh3jCheck out my Creator Spotlight playlist of videos: youtube.com/playlist?list=PLf2B7UoR9NKVVTOLQ1TvYdn18FKjyOERVIntroductions and reviews of some of my my favourite comics gathered in this playlist:youtube.com/playlist?list=PLf2B7UoR9NKVphRi3zsaMpcD387yhHrsvCheck out all fifteen of our "complete comics collection" videos: youtube.com/playlist?list=PLf2B7UoR9NKXZmUIzDgAp-41MzR9JW5ztIn fact, just check out all the different playlists I've put together! youtube.com/c/FortheLoveofComics/playlistsNEW!

KENT STATE - FOUR DEAD IN OHIO, by Derf Backderf For the Love of Comics 2022-05-04 | Not despite but precisely because of its loose wandering amongst over a dozen characters, Kent State, written and drawn by Derf Backderf, is an almost unbearably tense book.

Jeff Smiths BONE : Are these RARE EDITIONS? (doesnt matter, theyre great!) For the Love of Comics 2022-05-01 | Bone is not only one of my favourite comics of all time, it is also the comic I have sampled in the most number of different editions. In this episode, I look at two uncommon editions: a 3-in-1 colour hardcover omnibus set and a slipcased set of paperbacks. I guess they're a bit rare, in that they don't seem easily available, but not expensive when I have found them, and the value of these books is really in the joy of reading them!

From Comic to Comic to Comic: Three European Comics I Enjoyed Discovering! For the Love of Comics 2022-03-20 | Here's a little story of how one discovery led to another for me, and a look at three European comics I really enjoyed and heartily recommend. The Return of the Honey Buzzard by Aimée de Jongh, Blossoms in Autumn by Zidrou and de Jongh, and The Adoption by Zidrou and Arno Monin were all lovely books that combined - very differently - reflective and memory-filled stories with surprising and unexpected plots. Join me for a close look inside these books, my thoughts on them, and the little journey I took to, and through, them.

10 Comics to Read After TINTIN and ASTERIX! Sunday Livestream! For the Love of Comics 2022-03-14 | Whenever someone asks me for recommendations on what to read next, I love it when they tell me what they've already enjoyed, what has appealed to them in the past. It helps me curate a list that I feel more confident about; the books I pick -I feel - have a higher chance of becoming a favourite.And perhaps the most common books named as existing loves are the Adventures of Tintin, by Herge, and the Adventures of Asterix, by Goscinny and Uderzo. So this Sunday, join me LIVE as I present a list of ten comics titles culled from my years of recommendations for those who love Tintin/Asterix and want to know what else there is out there. I use a HIGHLY scientific formula (balancing nostalgia and familiarity on one side with newness, discovery, and exploration on the other) to fine tune this list which - as always - I hope will feature something for everyone. And of course I will be using my selection methodology as an excuse to talk about slightly more than 10 books, need you even ask?00:00 Starting soon! 03:20 Welcome, and what's this video about? 11:10 The all-ages approach 14:20 The method and the madness/ Caveat 117:25 I fail at getting chats up on screen18:50 Two superhonorable mentions/ Caveat 224:41 The appeal of Tintin and Asterix/ Caveat 327:09 Obvious choices/ Caveat 432:37 Spirou, Blake and Mortimer, Izhnogoud43:40 Gil Jordan and other new editions46:32 Spam break!

What Do a Road Trip and a Sit-in Have in Common? What are AFRICAN CARAVAN and SHAHEEN BAGH? For the Love of Comics 2022-02-19 | At first glance, African Caravan, written and drawn by Shikhant Sablania, and Shaheen Bagh, written and drawn by Ita Mehrotra, seem very different from each other, apart from being new nonfiction comics by Indian creators. But in this video I look at not only what distinguishes them but also what they have in common.
