Eisner Award nominated writer of stuff about webcomics, fandom, and more comics. If you look for me on another platform, I'm most likely @SKleefeld there too.

Not sure why I don't see/hear more about Tauhid Bondia. A Problem Like Jamal was excellent and Crabgrass is great too! https://t.co/2e0k93bRDT

Tomazooma. Created (mostly) by Jack Kirby. First appeared in Fantastic Four #80 circa 1968. But how do you pronounce his name?

@ScarletDadSpidr @ChrisMurrin The most recent critically successful example I can think of offhand is Shaun Tan's "The Arrival" from 2006. Andy Runton's "Owly" books have been doing pretty well commercially since 2004; I believe he's working on another one now. https://t.co/LMqR25esS5

@Brian_Cronin It would have to be something from the '80s at the latest. Maybe John Byrne's She-Hulk series? https://t.co/qDXBzxTdYC

@andrewfarago Wait, it looks like there are actually TWO El Aguila characters. The Chronology Project does cite several Power Man issues for the second one, Marvel Fanfare #3, Marvel Comics Presents #9, and Great Lakes Avengers #2. Definitely no Contest of Champions though.
