Before my computer issues, I started a brand spanking new blog back at the beginning of the month. SHADES OF GRAY celebrates the artwork of the late comic book artist and sci-fi illustrator Gray Morrow. I was hoping to have it all painted and shiny before going public but at least I’ve got some content up. Check it out now and watch it grow in weeks to come.

This weekend is, as I’m sure you all know, Jack Benny’s birthday. It’s also Presidents Day. What you may NOT realize (especially if you’re male) is that it’s also Valentine’s Day! Here’s some handsome John Romita art from a Marvel romance comic of 1971 to remind you.

There is, of course, one comics blog where it’s always Valentines Day and that’s SEQUENTIAL CRUSH which this week is to be congratulated on its 100th post, a clever comparison of comic book kisses as drawn by more than a dozen artists! Happy Valentines Day, Jacque!

Finally, this weekend also marks the start of the Winter Olympics and RIP JAGGER’S DOJO celebrates with more Charlton covers than I would have guessed possible featuring winter sports themes.
