NYPL Introduces Spider-Man Library Card!

Hi, all.

LIBRARIES!

Now that I have your attention: Spider-Man.

Marvel / NYPL

Back in July, for Amazing Spider-Man #900, I scripted a back-up story — with art by David Lopez, color art by Nathan Fairbairn, and lettering by Joe Caramagna — called AMAZING SPIDER-MAN: BETTER LATE THAN NEVER.

Inspired by an idea from editor Nick Lowe (torn from the headlines, SVU-style) the New York Public Library announced this year that late fees would be forgiven — and Peter Parker would have a lot of late fees.

Art by Lopez, Fairbairn, & Caramagna.

Well, now life is imitating art imitating life with the introduction of the NYPL Spider-Man Library Card — THAT’S RIGHT, LIMITED EDITION SPIDER-MAN VARIANTS ARE NOT JUST FOR COMICS ANYMORE.

'Harley Quinn: Black + White + Red' (2021) Paperback On Sale Now

Hi, all.

I wrote a story for this new paperback — a collection of last year’s digital-first series from D.C., Harley Quinn: Black + White + Red — AND I got to work with one of my favorite artists, Marguerite Savage.

Based on the “true” story of Harley Quinn stealing a pirate train — our story is about Harley Quinn taking back a subway train from the D.C. Universe’s fabled Subway Pirates (there’s also some Warriors and Snowpiercer in there). Anyone who has ever ridden the NYC MTA will immediately recognize it as essentially a documentary.

Pick it up from a local comic shop near you, via mail order, or digitally here. Cover & Info below.

Harley Quinn Black + White + Red Paperback – June 1, 2021

by Various

One of the crown jewels of the DC library is the inimitable BATMAN: BLACK & WHITE - innovative short tales of the Caped Crusader, told purely in primal black and white ink. Unfortunately, now Harley Quinn wants in on the action...and she's got her red pen, and some NOTES.

In HARLEY QUINN: BLACK & WHITE & RED, 14 tales of Gotham City's craziest clown princess are presented in nothing but black, white, and bold splashes of red. See how Harley's story unfolds in worlds beyond the DC Universe, in the alternate timelines of Batman: White Knight, Harleen, and the Harley Quinn animated series! Witness her darkest hours and her happiest moments! Wait, did she just...win an underground rap battle?!

An incredible array of award-winning talent from across the comics industry have put their reputations in jeopardy to bring you these stories--so show a little gratitude, will ya?
