Prison Blog

In which Possum recounts his experiences as an offender in the system.

Possum Bones is autistic. He has identified as a dirty kid in the past, and he’s attended multiple rainbow gatherings. He has several years left to serve in the Washington Correctional system.

He has been making art since he could sit up. He communicates better in writing than speech. If you are interested in the experience of an autistic person doing prison time, check out his Prison Blog. If you are a fan of comic art, underground/outsider music, Lovecraft, Clarke Ashton Smith, Murakami, Cixui Liu, etc.

Hm.

Hm. As is often the case, the best superhero genre comics occur when a very skilled writer picks up an established character. This is a common practice in comics. Examples of where this has been extremely successful : Grant Morrisson's* "Animal Man" , his "X-Men", his "Doom Patrol", his "All Star Superman" , Alan Moore's "Hellblazer" , Frank Miller's "Batman" and "Daredevil" ... It's quite common that when a big-dick writer picks up a tired series, the series ends up seeing better days than it ever has before. In Japan , you have the tradition of Doujinshi, where young authors do a riff on an existing series without permission. In America, that's basically illegal , BUT, we have the tradition where experienced writers take turns writing stories for a given character or series.


*Obviously by morrisson's , etc I mean THEIR issues of the publication, NOT that they themselves established it
