What's New


Comics by the Kubert Family:

Our bookshelf this month focuses on the amazing work of the Kuberts; father Joe and sons Adam and Andy. You can find fonts based on the hand lettering work of Joe and Adam over at comicbookfonts.com, and if you're interested in learning how to become a comic book artist, you should definitely check out the courses offered by the Joe Kubert School of Cartoon and Graphic Art. Even if you can't attend classes at the school in New York, note that Joe does offer correspondence courses. FAX FROM SAREJEVO, Joe Kubert's account of his friend's experiences during the civil war in the Balkans, is highly recommended.
