Also, I have an article in the current Comics Journal (#288). It’s a review of the last-ever issue of Strangers in Paradise. It’s not online, so if you want to see it you need to find the actual magazine.

I’ll be speaking on the following dates. Please spread the word!

2 February (Saturday), 5pm — Edmonds, Washington — Edmonds Unitarian Universalist Church (8109 224th Street SW)

4 February (Monday) — Victoria, BC — time and place TBA

7 February (Thursday), 7pm — Vancouver, BC — Simon Fraser University Harbor Center (515 W. Hastings) — Hosted by Indigenous Action Movement and Organized by Anti-Poverty Committee

I have an essay in the current issue of New Politics, discussing my experience writing about torture in my book American Methods.

You can find it online here:

My review of A Dangerous Woman: The Graphic Biography of Emma Goldman, is also out now. It’s online at Mindbuck.com:

And I somehow ended up with three reviews in the most recent Comics Journal. They discuss The Mad War on Bush, Sandman Mystery Theater: “Dr. Death” and “The Night of the Butcher”, and Defenders of Freedom: From the Chronicles of the ACLU’s Defense Team. None of those are online, I’m afraid.
