This great piece of comics criticism was lifted from The Spirit #19, written by Mark Evanier and Sergio Aragonés with art by Paul Rivoche (DC Comics, september 2008). I don’t think Scott McCloud could have put it better. And it doesn’t end there…
Listen to the man !

This ad was published on the inside front cover of the 1992 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles vs. the Conservation Crew Special (Archie comics). I’m not really sure what to think of that tagline, though.
There can be little doubt that that book was put together with the best of intentions, but overall it’s really a crap comic. It had best be left forgotten, if not for two pin-ups of the aforementioned Conservation Crew by Stan Sakai and Sergio Aragonez, presented after the click.
The Ephemerist will be at the Angoulème Festival from Wednesday January 28 until Saturday January 31. If you want to meet up, let me know.
