My wheelhouse is in fiction, especially comics. I enjoy genre fiction, and tend to lean towards horror, weird and science fiction. I enjoy reading about food, socialism, music, religions, and computing.

Richard Corben: DEN, Vol. 1 (2023, Dark Horse Comics) No rating

P. Craig Russell: The Ring of the Nibelung, Vol. 1 (2002, Dark Horse) 4 stars

A multiple Eisner Award winner, P. Craig Russell's adaptation of the Ring cycle by German …

Alan Moore, Bill Sienkiewicz, Martha Honey, Tony Avirgan, Joyce Brabner, Thomas Yeates: Brought to Light (Paperback, 1989, Eclipse Books) 5 stars

30 years of drug smuggling, arms deals and covert operations that robbed America and betrayed …

Sienkiewicz's art for Shadowplay speaks to my sensibilities but I really appreciate the realism of Yeates' contribution for the La Penca Bombing half. Great primer on American foreign interference.
