The purpose of the Comics Research Bibliography is to provide situational awareness across the media landscape. The appearance of articles neither implies endorsement nor credibility of the media source. (adapted from the Defense Health Agency’s Early Bird clippings service)

About Mike Rhode

I'm a co-editor with Bill Watterson of the Art of Richard Thompson book. With that out of the way, I'm interested in all aspects of comic art. I'm coauthor of the annual Comics Research Bibliography which is posting daily here and on Facebook. I'm the Exhibits and Media Reviews editor, and assistant editor, for the International Journal of Comic Art, and I've written for Hogan's Alley and the Comics Journal. (One of my first articles for IJOCA is reprinted here on ComicsDC). A good recent article is in White House History on the cartoon-decorated Hay-Adams Hotel bar, Off the Record. I've been a judge for the RFK Journalism Awards editorial cartoon division from 2009-2022 and in 2015, 2016 & 2020, I was a Herblock Award judge. I've edited Harvey Pekar: Conversations, a book of interviews for the University Press of Mississippi which is available now. In 2012, I edited and published Biographical Sketches of Cartoonists & Illustrators in the Swann Collection of the Library of Congress by LOC’s curator Sara Duke. In 2014, I co-edited The Art of Richard Thompson and The Incomplete Art of "Why Things Are" by Richard Thompson in 2017. In 2022, I edited and published Compleating Cul de Sac, 2nd edition focused on Richard Thompson's comic strip. In 2008 for my ComicsDC blog, I was chosen Best (Comics) Art Blogger by the Washington City Paper and from 2010-16, I wrote on comics for the Washington City Paper. You can see most of my writings at my Academia.edu page. The Library of Congress and Michigan State University's Library's Comic Art Collection both have "Michael Rhode collections" of cartooning items I've donated, and MSU has individually cataloged hundreds of them. From 2015-2019, 2022-, I'm an associate member of the National Cartoonists Society. I've written two short comics pieces, illustrated by Kevin Rechin, for Matt Dembicki's non-fiction comics anthologies District Comics and Redistricted.

Reader maps, or Where in the world is ComicsDC?

Our First Principle

"I try to be interested in very nearly everything. I always think boredom is to some extent the fault of the bored." - Julian Kestrel, the hero in Kate Ross's novel Cut to the Quick.

Our Second Principle

"It takes less time to do a thing right than to explain why you did it wrong" - Longfellow, quoted on an Elliot's Amazing bottlecap.







What's it all mean in the end?

"Ah, but a man's reach should exceed his grasp,
Or what's a heaven for?"

Robert Browning in Andrea del Sarto
