posted Monochrom's call-for-submissions for jpegs of random
punchline-text from comic strips. Now, Monochrom brings us the
outcome: a web page werein a single-frame comic and a punchine are
combined at random. The results are funny-esque and very weird. Reload

12/15/2003 04:26 PMI discovered Jack Kirby around 1972 (with
KAMANDI) and quickly
devoured his comics from the previous decade, especially
Fantastic
Four. Here's a nice NYT article about 1960s comic books that sums
up why they're so great.
Just as Mr. Infantino's Flash had captured the gung-ho
futurism of the late 50's, illustrators like Kirby and Mr. Ditko
brought an appropriately darker, grittier and sometimes spaced-out
look to Marvel's pages in the mid-60's. The Fantastic Four spent a lot
of time on the Lower East Side, where Kirby had grown up. Mr. Ditko's
hallucinatory illustrations for the mystic Dr. Strange had a direct
impact on the psychedelic art that bloomed a few years later. In
"Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test," Tom Wolfe reported that the LSD guru
Ken Kesey spent hours studying Dr. Strange comics with acid-inspired
probity. Rock-concert posters also lifted the character's image.

Sure, you could just manually copy the images from your
favorite web comics to the PSP, but 8 Bit Joystick has some tips to
automate the process. Slurp down a whole web comic archive, do some
basic conversion (as necessary) and copy it over. Classics like
Penny Arcade and Diesel Sweeties are natural choices, of
course, but if you've ever rolled a twenty-sided die, check out my
guilty pleasure, Order of

Downloading comics: threat or menace?
Downloading comics: threat or menace?
01/06/2005 12:14 PMCory Doctorow:
A comics fan who thinks downloading comics is immoral posted a long
rant to a message board, urging readers to shun comics-trading sites.
The debate that follows has several excellent posts -- but the most
interesting ones come from fanatical comics-buyers who download books
they already own in hardcopy because it's a "good way to be able to go
back and reread a book without running the risk of damaging it" and so
forth.
The comics industry has been creaking and threatening collapse for as
long as I've been reading funnybooks. One thing that's always
frustrated me is the incomprehensible lag between the monthly books
and the bound collections: if you wander into a bookstore and discover
issues 1-5 of Y: The Last Man or Issues 1-5 of Fables (both stone brilliant; run, don't walk) and fall in
love, why you can go on to pick up the subsequent collections, three
or four books each in all. Now, say you've read up to issue 20 of
Fables and you don't want to wait for the next collection to come out:
you want to take the plunge and become a regular, monthly comics
reader. You go down to your local comics store and say, "Please sell
me issues 21 through the current issue of Fables, and put the current
ish aside for me every month: I'm hooked!"
What usually happens is the comics person will say, "Sorry, we've got
issue 25, which is the current one, and number 24, but that's it --
the older ones are out of print." In other words, you got on the
Fables boat too late and you're not going to be able to catch up with
the book in comics form without buying issues from collectors or off
of eBay.
So here's a gedankenexperiment for ya: what if the DC and Marvel put
all their funnybooks on the Web two months after they were shipped to
the stores? My guess is that the kind of comics reader who downloads
issues so that he won't be "running the risk of damaging" the
hard-copy will continue to buy as many comics as ever.
But if you believe the comics industry, it's going broke selling to
just the people who put their comics in mylar bags and stack them in
hermetic vaults. Funnybooks need to attract a civilian audience who
will dip their toes in from time to time, buy the occassional
collection, read one or two books a month: it needs a LOT of those
people.
The bound collections are a great way to hook new readers. They're
retailed in regular book-stores, so they're visible to the kind of
person who never goes into a Graphic Novelle Emporium. All that's
missing is a way to turn collection readers into
monthly-plus-collection readers. The Web could be that way. Scott
McCloud has written some brilliant stuff about what a comic that's
designed for the Web should look like, but here's the whole other way
to use the Web to advance the comics biz: give old issues away to
bridge the gap between customer acquisition and customer retention.
Here's at least one comics dealer who sees free downloads of comics
driving his business:
This is a message from Derithian who for some reason newsarama wont
let him post it......maybe I just need to restart but I'm to busy
right now RUNNING A COMIC SHOP!
I am going to come out and say it; I am a member of the z-cult. Not
only that I'm a forum mod. To say anything different would put what I
say in a different light. I found the Cult about a month after it
started. I hadn't read a comic in more than 5 years and hated it all.
Comic books were for kids and stupid. Then I downloaded because
someone told me I had to read something. So I read it. A month later I
opened my own shop.
Not only did I open my own shop, I sell comics to foreign members of
z-cult from my shop who are interested in buying books but aren't in
areas where you can buy them. Interesting isn't it. You can say all
you want that downloading hurts the industry when I have personally
because of the cult put tens of thousands of dollars back into the
industry. Not to mention I started my own comic development studio to
publish local writers online.
