In working with Craig on his book, The Great Anti-War Cartoons, I developed a fascination with great caricaturists. Now comes the site,Great Caricatures, offering up histories and galleries on such as Thomas Nast, André Gill and the highly influential artist, Honoré Daumier. Perhaps best of all, The showrunner of that site, David Donihue, is now a member of I.T.C.H. and will be contributing here on a regular basis!

The Collectors Weekly is a site that deals with all types of collecting. Recently they ran this informative state-of-the hobby interview with Greg Theakston—illustrator/publisher/fan/historian/Kirby Collaborator and inventor of “Theakstonizing,” a process which has allowed for more and more classic reprints to be done in recent years.

Magic Carpet Burn offers the first part of DC’s Teen Titans # 3—an even in 1966 somewhat outdated tale of hot-rodders, surfers and fifties-style high school foolishness that served as my own personal introduction to the Titans (except Robin), the art of Nick Cardy, the un-hip hipness of Bob Haney’s scripting and even Ed “Big Daddy” Roth who is thinly disguised as the villain here! Check back for part two!

Finally today, a nearly forgotten—forgotten because it was buried in an issue of DC’s early seventies title The Sinister House of Secret Love which none of us fanboys would have touched with a ten foot pole at the time—32 page (!) art extravaganza by Alex Toth at his best, inks by Frank Giacoa and script by Frank Robbins.
