My Life is Choked with Comics - Archives

This is an ongoing column at The Savage Critics. It began as a weekly feature in which I would chit-chat about whatever miscellaneous comics I was reading at the time, and then transformed into an irregular, image-heavy series of long, structurally diverse essays about whatever miscellaneous comics I was reading at the time. Thanks to Brian Hibbs for inviting and indulging me.

BONUS: OLD ENGLISH

This was a short-lived attempt at reviving the 'old,' loose-fitting style of My Life is Choked..., but focused on forgotten English translation of foreign comics, with a heavy emphasis on images. The intent was to get a weekly or biweekly column up and running again, but I didn't keep it up very long. Maybe I'll go back eventually. If so, I'll be sure to update the short list below.

#1 - Perramus: Escape From the Past #1-2 by Alberto Breccia & Juan Sasturain (5/27/09)

#2 - Ashen Victor by Yukito Kishiro (6/1/09)

#3 - Conquering Armies by Jean-Claude Gal & Jean-Pierre Dionnet (7/6/09)
