Our people are doing great things in the wide world of comics! On July 16, from 11:00-2:00, Hub Comics in Somerville hosts a signing for not one but two new graphic novels drawn by BCR members: “Making Scents,” with art by Shelli Paroline and Braden Lamb (written by Arthur Yorinks), and “Pigs Might Fly,” drawn by Jerel Dye, with colors by Laurel Lynn Leake (and written by the great Nick Abadzis). We knew them when (when they were already great. that is)!

Spellbound: An Urban Fantasy Comics Anthology
Spellbound: An Urban Fantasy Comics Anthology
Edited by Olivia Li, Heide Solbrig, Ben Doane, Jamie Koh
40 pages ~ $ 8 | Black and White | 7 x 8.5 inches
The latest installment in the Boston Comics Roundtable’s ongoing anthology series, delves into city life through the lens of urban fantasy. This collection contains over a dozen stories by Boston-area independent comics creators who challenge the way we view the world by adding a dash of the supernatural into life in the big city. Visually diverse, these tales reveal the magic in both the extraordinary and the mundane of life in Beantown. The stories span from imaginative solutions for the challenges of the immigrant experience, to the dark rites of Patriots fans, to larger-than-life musings of inanimate objects along a Boston skyline. This anthology takes our city and pulls it through the looking glass, and along the way creates a sometimes serious, sometimes silly wonderland of local comics.
Spellbound contains work from L.J. Baptiste, J.L. Bell, W.B. Clem, Patrick Flaherty, Mehitabel Glenhaber, Levon Gyulkhasyan, Paul Hanna, Youngjin Hur, Patrick Jordan, Anthony Lathrop, Dan Mazur, Greg Moutafis, John Quirk, Roho, Catalina Rufin, and Adam Tutkus. The anthology was edited by Olivia Li, Heide Solbrig, Ben Doane, and Jamie Koh.

The Super Wizard Returns
Joey Peters demonstrates the value of recycling for cartoonists:Peters mines the detritus of the Golden Age, namely the weird sequential outbursts of the mad genius Fletcher Hanks, using them to build his own comics empire from spare parts. Bringing his own contemporary sensibility to the material, Peters has actually drawn more pages using Hanks’ characters (including Fantomah, Stardust the Super Wizard, and Big Red Maclane — all in the public domain), than Hanks himself did in his brief, meteoric career. Peters’ newest Hanksian saga, The Super Wizard Returns, Chapter. 1, is now available as a digital download on Comixology.
