#076: January 1967 (w/Matt Fraction) - "In Our Midst... An Immortal!"

Marvel by the Month

Matt "Sugar Lips" Fraction needs no introduction, but here's one anyway:

He’s written more Marvel Comics than most people have read, including Uncanny X-Men, the Immortal Iron Fist, Punisher War Journal, The Mighty Thor, Defenders, and Fantastic Four — as well as the Eisner Award-winning Invincible Iron Man and Hawkeye.

He won another Eisner and a Harvey Award for the delightfully filthy Sex Criminals, which he co-created with Chip Zdarsky. He’s currently collaborating with Elsa Charretier on the enigmatic crime noir comic, November. And while we hate to go off-brand, his collaboration with Steve Lieber for the Distinguished Competition on Superman’s Pal Jimmy Olsen is absolutely a must-read.

He's smart enough to be invisible on social media, but here's his website, which hasn't been updated since he wrote the perfect Tumblr post in December 2018: mattfraction.com

Speaking of Elsa Charretier, her Kickstarter for the second volume of her Artbook ends in ONE WEEK! And backers can get the Commentary Editions of November vol. 1 and 2!
