FEATURED ARTIST – DENYS COWAN

Denys Cowan was born January 30, 1961 and is a comic book artist, television producer, media executive and one of the co-founders of Milestone Media.

He did not yet even know what a comic book was and would not learn about them until the third grade.

Dingle showed Cowan his first comic book, an issue of Jack Kirby’s New Gods. Cowan attended the High School of […]

BRICK HOUSE COMICS – THE AUTHORITY

BRICK HOUSE COMICS – THE AUTHORITY

Welcome to the inaugural edition of BRICK HOUSE COMICS, where we review comics that we love and excite us, so we feel the need to share them with you and hopefully you’ll pick up something to read that’s totally new to you. So, with James Gunn announcing that there is going to be an Authority movie sometime soon, I thought it would be a good time to show…everyone…that the perfect trilogy for a film franchise is right…here. To sum it up. The Authority are heroes in only the strictest sense of the word. Ruthless and unforgiving, this group of insanely powerful superhumans face down countless menaces to Earth, protecting mankind

Featured Artist(Writer) – Bill Finger

Featured Artist(Writer) – Bill Finger

This one…is gonna cause a stir. Maybe. You all know who Bob Kane is right? Credited with creating Batman. Ring a bell? Yeah , well screw that guy. I’d be more terse but there might be kids reading and I wanna set the story straight. Bob Kane drew a guy with a cape. Bill Finger added everything else to make him Batman. To include his rogues gallery and supporting characters and story. Bob Kane stole it all. That’s right, he STOLE it. Out-right. I’m going to point you to a documentary available on Hulu to watch, it’s called Batman & Bill and you can watch it here. Go ahead and watch it.  I’ll

Art Tools

Art Tools

Hello! Are there any fellow artists out there? Either working on your craft or working professionally? Well, the one thing we all have in common is the search for that perfect tool. For some of us, that ‘perfect tool’ is not just 1 tool, but the one that is steady and reliable each time you get ready to make your mark(s). These are the ones I’ve used over the last 20 years (crap, 20??) and have proven very much worth-while in my exploration of art. I must say though, these are not the end-all-be-all of tools. Find your way.  Art is very much an exploration of the kinds of marks you want to

What we need is to move forward. Flipside Comics is a new way and all you need to do is Subscribe and tell your neighbor, family, and friends about us. We know we have an opportunity to make

Oh no!  Comics are dying!  Again!   Retailers are having record LOW sales! Publisher’s page rates are dropping! Whatever are we gonna do?! Will Eisner famously said that he had been watching comics ‘die’ for his entire career.  A career that lasted a good 60-70 years. And it’s still happening.  About once every couple of months a metric from somewhere comes out and people start saying the sky is falling….again. The problem is publishers and
