How come when I inadvertently post a cover with some topless women, I get flagged for it, but not someone else like in this case? Because she's blue and alien-y. So it's okay

Five more of my comics from my collection to CGC preservation came back today in the mail. Love this Neal Adams cover for Star*Reach Harold Hedd: Hitler's Cocaine. These were the first underground comics I ever bought. California Comics. Great Ed Watson covers. Can't show you those.... NSFW. Maybe later.

Read of the Week Hey Kids! Comics! vol 2 #1Howard Chaykin's continuation of the history of comics, told only Chaykin knows how to. Straightforward, No BS and historically packed. Can't recommend it enough.

The Good Asian #1 Writer: Pornsak Pichetshote Artist: Alexandre Tefenkgi I got this totally on the strength of the concept because I'd never heard of either of the creators. But no way I was going to pass up supporting a hard-boiled detective book set in San Francisco's Chinatown in 1936. If anything wants to scream "right up Slam's alley" it's that description. Edison Hark (and it seems clear that isn't his real name) is a Chinese-American police officer for the Honolulu P.D. who has come to San Francisco at the behest of a very rich family that appears to have raised him. This is at a time when the Chinese Exclusion Act is still in effect and Hawaii is the only place where a Chinese-American could possibly be a police officer (there wouldn't be one on the mainland until the late 50s). There are layers in this book already in the first issue. Hark came to the mainland to solve a mystery (and was held in detention on Angel Island until it was discovered who his friends are), but it's clear there are also mysteries regarding his background. And there's a lot more going on here than a hard-boiled mystery. There's a lot of history here about anti-Asian racism in the U.S., much of which is largely forgotten today. It's clear that Pichetshote (who is a Thai-American) has done his research. And the art is absolutely appropriate for the time period and the genre. Well recommended. Agreed. Like you I went in blind knowing the creators are. The results were one of the best reads of the week. I'm excited to see how this plays. Amazingly researched about a period in US history that was swept under the covers. When this is done, I want more Edison Hark; comic or novel.

Nightwing and Robin have been great since Taylor and Williamson took over their respective books.
Book of the week: Reckless: Friend of the Devil
The second of the Reckless graphic novel one-shots, Brubaker & Phillips deliver again another corker.

I bought some classic comic art that I wanted to share with you all. This page from Smoky (Dell Comics-1967) is a page from the movie starring Fess Parker. Art by Jack Sparling.
