Tales From The Short Box #215 - Starman by James Robinson
Tales from the Short Box
It’s Rj’s turn to take us back to the year of his birth. It’s 1994, and we are diving head first into Starman by James Robinson, Tony Harris and Wade Von GanBadger. It was a great year for comics, and this is a great pick. We follow a reluctant hero as he deals with the generational baggage of being the third Starman.

Tales From The Short Box #214 - Deviant by James Tynion IV and Joshua Hixon
Tales from the Short Box
It’s Adam’s turn to pick a book from last year, and he’s bringing us Deviant by James Tynion IV and Joshua Hixon. This is a nailbiting ho-done-it that kept us all in suspense up to the very last panel. We all had a lot to say about this one, as it landed right in each of our wheelhouses for different reasons. It had a neo-noir style mystery at its core, it touched on serial killer lore, and also serves as a very important conversation about queer representation in the media.

Tales From the Short Box #213 - The Dreamer by Will Eisner
Tales from the Short Box
It’s Adam’s turn to take us back to the year of his birth. And why not also go back to the birth of comics? It’s 1985 and we’re talking about The Dreamer by Will Eisner. This is the semi-autobiographical story of not only Eisner’s rise as one of the best to ever do it, but the story of comics itself. It’s a love letter to comics as told in one of the first “Graphic novels.” Support Tales From The Short Box by joining our Patreon!
