Written and Illustrated by by Martí Riera Ferrer  Introduction by Art Spiegelman Translated by Andrea RosenbergPublished by FantagraphicsI have to confess that I have been trying for a really long time to get into this book. I have heard from many people that it is a book that is “right up my alley.”Part of the reason it’s been so hard for me to get through is because I haven’t been able to find a good enough copy to read.

Shameless is a rare and enduring television achievement—an unfiltered, emotionally raw exploration of family, survival, and identity in modern America. Running for eleven seasons from 2011 to 2021, the series, developed by John Wells and adapted from Paul Abbott’s British original, found a lasting home on Showtime, where it became a defining work of television storytelling.

Magilla Gorilla: The Complete Series is a delightful blast from the past—a classic slice of Hanna-Barbera whimsy that ran from 1964 to 1967. With 31 episodes of slapstick mischief, colorful characters, and charmingly simple storylines, it’s a shining example of the golden age of television cartoons. Thanks to this Blu-ray release from Warner Archive, this lovable primate is still swinging into hearts decades after his debut. At its core, Magilla Gorilla keeps things wonderfully straightforward.

Written by Kieron Gillen Art by Caspar WijngaardPublished by Image ComicsI have to say that I haven’t read too many comic books from either of these creators. I have read their major works (The Wicked and the Divine and Home Sick Pilots), but haven’t read much beyond. They both are solid creators but they both never really appealed to me. With that, I decided to check out their newest work that they collaborated on. It sounded interesting enough.
