New COBRAS member!
Semester: complete. Grades: all A’s. Let us now resume our talk of secret agents with some fantastic news!
On behalf of David, Jason, Matthew, Paul, and Wes, I hope you’ll all join me in welcoming the newest member of the COBRAS:
Agent NAJA NAJA:
Spy-Fi Channel is the latest blog exploring genre fiction by celebrated comics scribe Christopher Mills. I’ve long been a fan of Mills, from the first time I read Gravedigger, a hardboiled graphic novel with art by Rick Burchett that channels Donald E. Westlake’s classic character Parker (especially as portrayed by Lee Marvin in Point Blank). With his newest blog, he’s come out of the corner swinging, with looks at classic Eurospy flicks, rare spy television shows, and much-maligned Bond films.
Christopher has also graced us with a look at a (so far) unpublished comic, with art by Rick Hoberg and Matt Webb that references both On Her Majesty’s Secret Service and Dashiell Hammett’s Thin Man series. I expect more fantastic stuff from him in the future, both in terms of blog posts and comics work (he also publishes Femme Noir, with art by former Michael Mauser illustrator Joe Staton, and is working on a Kolchak: The Night Stalker series for Moonstone). We’re pleased as punch to have Christopher aboard.
Later on tonight, expect a few more posts from me, including the long overdue results of our Nick Fury contest, and information about other fabulous prizes currently up for grabs.
