Snapped in Seattle's Easy Street Records:
The Land that Time Forgot
When I was a kid, I had a recurring dream about hanging out at Popeye and Olive Oyl's house. I really liked Popeye, and had a bit of a crush on Olive. Little did I know, I could have tried to convince my parents to actually take me to Popeye's house… in Malta! I am so taking my li'l swee'pea here one day.

Lilli Carre’s “The Carnival” in MOME 14
We just wrapped up the next MOME (Vol. 14), out next spring. This issue features quite a doozy: Lilli Carré's "The Carnival," a 32-page full-color graphic novella (featured on the cover above). It's an elegant follow-up to her new graphic novel, The Lagoon, and between both stories it's clear that Carré is a major talent to watch. In the meantime, look for MOME Vol. 13 to hit stores next month.

PRISON PIT: The Graphic Novel by Johnny Ryan.
World Peace Hulk
James Kochalka couldn't have done it better. Hard to believe this gentle soul would be waging war against the world a mere 28 years later. From Defenders #75 (1979) by Ed Hannigan, Herb Trimpe and Mike Esposito. That Greenpeace address is about a mere mile and a half from our office; I don't think it's still there. Oh, and NEVER accuse the Defenders of being intolerant.
