Since It’s Friday, Go Read A Bunch Of Comics-Related Stuff at Nerve.com



Other than an interview or two, I've completely managed to blow off the numerous features rolled out so far in the special comics issue offered up this month by Nerve. I did send various editors at the successful on-line sex magazine an e-mail about Dan Goldman's press release that his feature for the magazine was killed last-minute for content reasons, but none of them answered me, so maybe I was just subconsciously grumpy. Anyway, if you're contents-page phobic, so far readers get:

* an Andi Watson comic
* a Paul Pope comic
* a Chynna Clugston comic
* a Sophie Crumb comic
* essay on Sandman
* essay on the Ninja Turtles
* interview with Peter Bagge
* interview with Alison Bechdel
* interview with Evan Dorkin with impeccable name-dropping
* sex advice from comic book store clerks
* feature on sex in comic books
* feature on EC Comics and the line having its genitalia kicked in in the 1950s
* a bunch of archived features, including a pretty good interview with Marjane Satrapi and a talk with the great Phoebe Gloeckner

I haven't read all of these, so I can't endorse individual pieces beyond the Dorkin and Bagge interviews, but it's probably all worth at least a look. Nerve has been interested in comics almost from the beginning, as I recall.
