March 15: Adeline Kon at Fantom Comics at 5:30
we love seeing cartoonists whose indie comics we sold here at Fantom, go on to publish major graphic novels! Adeline Kon first got on our radar with their queer horror comic My Father Was a Good Man, and now Penguin is publishing their debut graphic novel JUST BETWEEN US—a sapphic figure skating story about love, talent, and the Olympic dream.
to celebrate, we're hosting an author talk & signing, in conversation with artist/Fantom friend Laura Rovinsky!!
"Lydia Chen knows how good she is on the ice. Technically perfect, she's been the one to beat since her debut years ago. Except now, between the constant training, appealing to sponsors to fund her, and the pressure to perform, Lydia's passion for skating has disappeared.
When her rival Elaine Yee starts training at the same rink, Lydia's struck by the emotion in Elaine's routines and unwillingly finds herself getting closer to her as they compete for a medal at the Olympics. As the tension between them comes to a head, Lydia has to figure out what she wants before it skates right past her."
Adeline Kon is a lesbian cartoonist and designer from Miami, Florida. They are passionate about creating messy, queer romances about women and love watching competitive figure skating.
They are the co-creator of Glimm*r Magazine, a sapphic comic anthology series they put together with fellow cartoonist Kimberly Wang—whose book launch at Fantom immediately follows Adeline's event on the 15th! hope to see you at both

My buddy Sara Duke pulled off another coup. Or these days, let us rather say, collecting triumph.
In 1855, when Thomas Ayers published the first images of Yosemite Falls, the rest of the country was enchanted. His sketchwork of the Yosemite Valley predated the famous photographs by Carleton Watkins and the monumental paintings by Albert Bierstadt in the 1860s that would cement the valley's reputation as the romantic dream of the American West incarnate. The Library recently acquired one of Ayers sketches, along with a companion lithograph, preserving them — and their moment in national history — for generations to come.

Comics Research Bibliography 2025 PRINT Edition available in 3 volumes
It's still online for free, but a 3-volume print-on-demand version for libraries and collectors is available at the following URLs. Note that this DOES NOT include the online addenda, and is essentially the online version split into three printed parts.
Recapping from our previous email on this subject:
If you're getting this notice, there's a good chance you're in the new 1800 page annual update of the Bibliography, on its 30th anniversary. We're also commemorating John A. Lent's 90th birth year, since John started the field with his 10 volume set. Tony Rose has been assisting for the past couple of years, and librarian Elizabeth Walker has just joined the team.
The CRB is a worldwide bibliography of all types of comic art, including comic books, comic strips, caricature, gag cartoons, animation, editorial cartoons, biography, webcomics, political cartoons, history of cartooning, and comics scholarship.
An addenda of 2000 more pages of unsorted citations is at https://archive.org/details/crb-2025-addendum These citations have been formatted but not yet placed into the CRB. Many of them are from the first online iteration of the CRB, now preserved on the Internet Archive. For our 30th Anniversary and in honor of John Lent's 90th birth year, we are providing these as a resource the first time, since they are searchable by keyword. However, the goal remains to empty this document by placing all the citations into the main bibliography which is online now at Comics Research Bibliography. A version combining both into an almost 4000-page document will be posted later this week (after I create a new cover for it).
You can follow our daily progress either on my ComicsDC blog at https://comicsdc.blogspot.com/search?q=%22Comics+research+bibliography%22&max-results=20&by-date=true or on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61555263475365
While I have your attention, please consider subscribing to the International Journal of Comic Art at http://www.ijoca.net/ . And forward this to anyone you think might be interested.

The Lent Comic Art Classification System, 2nd ed. PRINT version now available
It's still online for free, but a print-on-demand version for libraries and collectors is available at https://www.lulu.com/shop/mike-rhode-and-john-a-lent/the-lent-comic-art-classification-system-second-ed/paperback/product-v8wwzpd.html
Recapping from our previous email on this subject:
Long before the Library of Congress started revamping its cataloguing for comic art, John Lent had devised a system of his own. For his 90th birth year, we've updated the 2016 version and published it online for free with over 900 new terms added at https://archive.org/details/lent-comic-art-classificiation-2nd-ed-final/Lent%20Comic%20Art%20Classificiation%202nd%20ed%20FINAL/
This classification system is derived from John A, Lent's 10-volume set of Comic Art Bibliography with additions and emendations by Mike Rhode published versions of the Comics Research Bibliography.
"In 1986, in preparation for a conference presentation in India, I self-published a 156-page international bibliography on comic art, which I also sent to some libraries and researchers. That led to the compilation of ten volumes of comic art sources, broken down by regions, genres, functions, and other aspects, published by Greenwood Press between 1994 and 2006. As I assembled materials for these bibliographies, I developed categories into which to place sources. The classification system presented in this monograph is the result. The classification system portrayed in these pages is meant to bring some order to filing, categorizing, and discussing comics and cartoons. Actually, the fullest section, on the United States, can be used with minor modifications to organize comic art studies about any country." - John Lent
We're pleased to welcome Lizzy Walker to the team with this new edition, and expect to have annual updates.
