It's Cloud Town Tuesday The day I post an image from my graphic novel and talk about the process of making it!Months had gone by as I waited eagerly to hear about the next steps to publishing my first graphic novel. When I got an email asking if I wanted to illustrate a case and end pages for the Cloud Town hardcover there was less than a week before those illustrations needed to be in the hands of the book designer. I said yes before I knew for certain what a "case" was--Googling "case" and "book case" did not help. If you want to see a case, check last Tuesday's post, but for now all you need to know is that the case took a pretty long time for me to draw, which left me with 2 days to design 6 end-pages.

End-pages are those pretty pages that glue a book into a hardcover case (there's a context clue for you), and for me, they had always been a thing of wonder. They are the wrapping of the book--the closest thing we have to music as we fade in and fade out of a comic. I was delighted to have the chance to design my own, but the time crunch was startling. But as they say, necessity is the mother of invention. This is what I came up with, and I'll tell you more about it next week!

Batman/Superman: World’s Finest Vol. 2: Strange Visitor

I’ve read a ton of graphic novels over the last year and change after not having read many for most of my life. Dan Mora’s art in World’s Finest has been my favorite I’ve seen. It doesn’t hurt that Dick and Clark are my two favorite heroes, but I’ve read plenty of other stories starring them and the art hasn’t moved me the way Mora’s has.

I can’t quite put my finger on exactly what about his style makes such an impression on me. I think he’s found a way to perfectly strike the balance of humanity and mythology that DC is built on, especially with Superman.

So far, all my graphic novel reading choices have been based on characters I most care about. I’ve also put a couple on my TBR based on writers I’ve enjoyed. Mora might be the first artist to force me to seek out his work regardless of the story or characters, just so I can see his illustrations.

Can’t wait for more of the World’s Finest run to be put in collected volumes, especially the Teen Titans run so I can see Dick’s arc in that!

finished chapter 5. zack is the strongest person alive for All That

#look i have my opinions. we all know this. but im understanding them a lot more recently. with the whole story you wrote as a teen thing #and wanting to expand your stuff more and grow #ever since i started working in comics ive started to view zack as like. a weird coworker. who is mildly older than me.#rather than Comics Lord Supreme (14yo vision)#like paranatural changing has become like. a friend dropping a fanfic of theirs you really loved. but ultimately you love your friend more.#am i going to always miss it Yes. am i going to always love it Yes. am i going to wonder what could have happened Yes. but like.#are you enjoying being alive? does this hurt to make? does this different way you make it... feel better?#who cares if i have a graphic novel coming out. comics is people. if i could make a paranatural guest comic someday. that'd be enough for me

Kami Garcia and Gabriel Picolo return to the world of their YA Teen Titans graphic novels with a new focused on Starfire. Reimagined as a Santa Monica teenager name Kori who starts developing super powers after her sister’s boyfriend’s uncle’s pharmaceutical company recruits her for an EDS study, Starfire has an “inexplicable draw to the stars” and hangs out with a kid named Victor Stone. Which probably gives you an idea of the next graphic novel in the series you can look for.

I wanna take a sec to talk about Lucky Penny.

If you haven’t been lucky enough to have heard of Lucky Penny before now: it is my favorite graphic novel. It has been since junior year of High-school. I am now a senior in my final semester in college (and accounting for my Covid style gap year) Lucky Penny has been my #1 fave graphic novel for six years and counting.

It’s funny, it’s raunchy, the characters feel real, the story is well paced and takes some very fun and unexpected twists! However, the story and art aren’t the only reason I love Lucky Penny. I originally found Yuko Ota and Ananth Hirsh via their autobiographical book of daily life comics Johnny Wander: Our Cats Are More Famous Than Us, which I had picked up from the local library and was absolutely thrilled to find out was a webcomic that at the time was still actively updating. On their website (linked here!) you can actually read Lucky Penny and their Autobiographical comics completely for free as well as their current (still updating) work, Barbarous.

For me Lucky Penny acts as a bridge and a love letter to middle school me, who avidly read webcomics on solo hosting sights, many of which have been lost to time or have simply stopped updating. Self published webcomics outside of companies like Tapas (formerly Tapastic) and LINE Webtoon have ensured that solo host websites are far and few in between and routinely get looked over. Despite existing in the face of these big companies Johnny Wander lives on.

Lucky Penny is like warm soup. It’s comforting and every read feels different depending on where I am emotionally and just in my life in general. You can find Lucky Penny free to read on Johnny Wander here and even grab a physical copy for yourself here if you prefer paper. Updates on Yuko Ota and Ananth Hirsh’s current work and activities can be found on their respective tumblrs @aidosaur and @ananthhirsh

If you choose to read Lucky Penny I hope you love it. I’m sure you will. :)
