I'm glad Kenneth Smith is still writing for The Comics Journal. He was the first person who pointed out to my young 16 year old mind that Frank Miller's Dark Knight portrayed Batman as an unrepentant Fascist with a capital "F" (Batman on The Joker- "There's nothing wrong with him that I can't fix...with my hands") .
...and that there was room for intellectual and aesthetic criticism in any art form.
Too bad he looks like an extra from a television advert for one of those "Learn how to Draw by Correspondence" schools...
More talk on comics on the CBC, too. Go on, waste some time reliving your child/teenage years. Or last weekend ;)
