The drama of big, beautifully-rendered cosmic fights and the marriage of dialogue and art sparks the imagination, but sometimes we come to comics through another medium, like The MCU, X-Men The Animated Series, or Batman: The Animated Series.

None of it would be possible without the hard work and inventiveness of the comic creatives, but it's ultimately the reader who truly brings the experience to life.

As the editor of the legendary anthology Kramers Ergot, Harkham has introduced readers to countless unique, challenging pieces of comic art from creators around the world. But Harkham's own comics are just as exciting. After working on it for over a decade, his highly anticipated new graphic novel, Blood of the Virgin, is available now from Pantheon Books.

This time I want to discuss some Manga. I don't usually read it. I was raised on Western comics, and honestly, I'm not sure how I first discovered My Brother's Husband by Gengoroh Tagame. It's a book I think more people should read. As always, keep in mind that I'm one person discussing my own thoughts. I can't speak for everyone. There's no way to do that, nor would it be a particularly interesting world if anyone did. Okay, disclaimers out of the way… Let's sit down with a cup of tea and a nice slice of coffee cake and chat.

I hope the new year is treating you well and that you're reading some great comics. I have one that I'd like to chat about. Please keep in mind, as always, these are only my opinions. There's no way to speak for all Queer people because we're not a monolith. Also, spoilers and queer history are ahead.

Marvel fans might remember him as the author of Wakanda #3 or his short story in Amazing Fantasy #1000. Others might remember him from Fantagraphics' iconic 1993 King, the critically acclaimed biography of civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr., or his sci-fi epic Godhead, which throws readers into a world where corporate scientists try to contact god and design killer robots. No matter where readers encounter Anderson's work, it's sure to stick with them.

Frankly, there are too many well-crafted comics to keep up with, but I'm determined to try, and I want to celebrate the work that excites me. So every month, I'll be bringing you an in-depth career-spanning interview with comics creators who might've slipped under your radar. This month, I'm talking with the prolific Deniz Camp, whose 20th Century Men, Agent of W.O.R.L.D.E, and Bloodshot Unleashed were some of the most fascinating, thought-provoking, and entertaining comics of 2022.
