Critiquing Comics #243: “Fables of Fear” and “Black Plastic”

from Deconstructing Comics · host Tim, Adam, and Jason

Fables of Fear is an anthology horror title by Karl Brandt and David Parsons. Tim and Adam discuss; there are some good short stories here, but maybe they’re a bit … TOO short? Black Plastic, by Josh Tierney and Nicci Busse is, as its writer says, a “karaoke cyber-thriller” graphic novel. That’s his description; Tim and Jason aren’t quite sure what to think of it. Are we getting too old for this comics-critique stuff? Brought to you by: Checkered Past podcast Our supporters on Patreon
