Today Harper's Magazine has a new interview with Judge Richard Posner on capitalism. (All timed to coincide with Posner's new book on the subject, naturally.)

Comic-book adaptations of the Old Testament and New Testament are experiencing a revival in recent years. Mangaka (manga artists) have been adapting the Bible into their own idiom, while new editions by comics legends Basil Wolverton and Robert Crumb are also appearing. Manga Bibles A number of manga versions of the Bible have been published in recent years. These manga vary in faithfulness to the source and in overall quality, but most are geared toward an adolescent readership. The most well-known adaptation is The Manga Bible: From Genesis to Revelation (2007). The manga is drawn by Ajinbayo "Siku" Akinsiku, with scripting by Akin Akinsiku. Siku, born and based in England, has a drawing style that is sketchy-looking, and not closely in line with more traditional manga. This week's Feature Article is my second on Dave Sim's Cerebus the Aardvark. It covers the plot and artistic evolution of High Society, the first graphic novel-length arc in the Cerebus saga (though by no means the last).
I hope to cover Church and State next, but don't know how long it'll be until I get around to it – want to keep the Feature Articles balanced, after all. In the meantime, see Dave Sim's Cerebus the Aardvark #1–25 for earlier Cerebus stuff. |
