Itâs Adamâs turn to take us back to the year of his birth. And why not also go back to the birth of comics? Itâs 1985 and weâre talking about The Dreamer by Will Eisner. This is the semi-autobiographical story of not only Eisnerâs rise as one of the best to ever do it, but the story of comics itself. Itâs a love letter to comics as told in one of the first âGraphic novels.â

Get ready for a squealchy one! This week, we're peeling back the pages of Cacey's pick from 2024: THE RIBBON QUEEN by Garth Ennis, Jacen Burrows, & Dan Brown. One part supernatural revenge elemental unleashed upon some deserving monsters; one part modern social commentary on police brutality and accountability in America; and it all comes together as one powerful (and icky) narrative!
---TW: s*xual assault, police violence, racism, misogyny, and extreme body horror!---

Itâs officially a new season of TFTSB, and we have a new theme! We are each picking a book from the year we were born, and one from the last year. Weâre starting out in 1990 with Caceyâs pick Shade The Changing Man by Peter Milligan and Chris Bachalo. We dive down a psychedelic rabbit hole as we explore the Kennedy assassination, corruption in Hollywood and the deteriorating credulity of the American people. Itâs a weird one, folks.

Travis Bow from Minute of Thieves and Reel Comic Heroes podcasts joins us for Annihilation by Keith Giffen, Andrea Divito, and Laura Villari.

Itâs our season finale! This week weâre reading Shaunâs foreign pick, Blacksad by Juan Diaz Canales and Juanjo Guarnido. This book was originally published in French, and written by a Spanish creative team, but takes place in mid 20th century America. Itâs a refreshing perspective of mid-century politics all told from the perspective of cartoon animals. Tune in for some hard-boiled Antro-Noir.

This week itâs Shaunâs Domestic pick: Sleeper by Ed Brubaker and Sean Phillips. This book has a little bit of everything. Superheroes, double agents, high stakes heists, even a bit of steamy romance. Itâs the kind of break-neck anti-hero story weâve come to expect from this creative team, and itâs one that we havenât read before (except RJ, who has read everything).

This week we explore Adam's foreign comic pick: TREASURE OF THE BLACK SWAN by Paco Roca and Guillermo Corral, with translation by Andrea Rosenberg! This book was its own hidden treasure, a complete mystery until we dove in to find an incredible story. It's the true-to-life account of what happens when treasure hunters find loot in a lost wreckage, and how the origin country of that wreckage tries to reclaim it for cultural importance. It's the thrill seekers vs the bureaucrats, pillaging pirates vs diligent diplomats. It's an adventure comic like you've never read before!
