Ridley Scott and Sigourney Weaver on the set of Alien.
Alien is one of my favorite films. Few films combine it’s bravura film making and keen design with a sense of compassion for it’s characters. Echoing Faith Erin Hicks recent comics essay, they’re real people who you get to know in the beginning of the film before things go to hell. It’s a film I constantly revisit.
This is a pretty bad ass cover.

2012 is the 30th Anniversary of Love and Rockets.
I’m proud that I share an anniversary with the greatest comic ever.

So here’s a pretty sweet interview with Ryosuke Takahashi (Votoms) on Manga UK’s website. Dude talks about what it was like to work with Osamu Tezuka, transitioning to Sunrise and what he’s up to now. Check it out.

I hope Brian Ralph collects all of his Reggie 12 strips soon like he’s been threatening to do for years.
Umezu Kazuo
I totally forgot that Umezu did shoujo manga at one point before becoming one of the greatest horror manga artists ever.
