Seeing the news of Gold Key going to a new home fills me with nostalgia for my run on Solar. 2014 feels like a lifetime ago, but I have a real fondness for Erica, our “woman of the atom” who explored what happens when you give science powers to an artist. I’m glad we got to tell her story.

Thrilled to see Hassan Otsmane-Elhaou nominated for an Eisner this year, and his lettering in The Author Immortal called out! Hass elevated every page and seamlessly blended his work with @morganbeem.bsky.social's gorgeous watercolors. Check out our collection now from @imagecomics.com!

Honored to share the spotlight with the amazing team Ice Cream Man in this year’s Eisner Awards, and celebrate Author Immortal’s own Hassan Otsmane-Elhaou. Cheers @martinmorazzo.bsky.social @chrisohalloran.bsky.social W. Maxwell Prince and @imagecomics.com.

If any pros, pals, or press want to check out a PDF of our new @imagecomics.com trade The Author Immortal, drop me a line! From me, @morganbeem.bsky.social, @yukoart.bsky.social, Hassan Otsmane-Elhaou, @sievish.bsky.social & @arden.rip -- in shops NEXT WEEK! Very proud of this one!

The Author Immortal by me & @morganbeem.bsky.social directly deals with the tainted legacy of Rowling and how we can move on. A character inspired by her is featured as our villain, and I'm surprised we don't see more fiction grappling with this cultural wound.

This month we wrap up the first story arc of The Author Immortal! Here’s a beautiful preview from @morganbeem.bsky.social with a variant from @shadedway.bsky.social and design by the always impeccable @sievish.bsky.social! Available the last week in Feb from @imagecomics.com!

Can't praise @alexeckmanlawn.bsky.social enough for this amazing variant for The Author Immortal #4. One of the coolest, most haunting covers I've ever been graced with! Design by @sievish.bsky.social. TAI by myself, @morganbeem.bsky.social, Hassan Otsmane-Elhaou and @arden.rip from @imagecomics.com
