Comics Read 7/9-17/2022 

As I was saying in my last entry I was reading Jill Thompson’s Scary Godmother Omnibus (though not a version that I can seem to find on Goodreads, much to my displeasure). As with my most recent entries I want to start by explaining a little autobiographical detail. As I mention before, the first comic book I got into was Vertigo’s The Sandman. As you may know Jill Thomson drew the “Brief Lives” arc, also known as the arc where Delirium looks most like Tori Amos, something that attracts me.  My initial comic reading coincided with the release of Thompson released her manga style Sandman spinoff Death: At Death’s Door, which I have and enjoy. When I was getting back into reading new comics I naturally wanted check into what she was up to, and one of the things was her Kickstarter for the Scary Godmother doll manufacturing as she had just regained the rights. Despite never having heard of the Scary Godmother, I backed the Kickstarter and now have one of the original dolls. So naturally I also had to figure out more of what is the story of the Scary Godmother so when this omnibus published by Dark Horse came out I bought it. But I was slow to read it. Last year when a cousin and his then three years old were visiting I lent it to them so that he could read her something while the rest of the adults were otherwise engaged. He quickly realized that this might be a little too scare for three year olds and I had to shrug and say that I hadn’t read it yet. 

Now that I have read it pretty carefully I can say that the suggestion on the publishing info page that this is for children ages eight and up seems accurate. The first story in the book tells the story of Hannah Marie’s first encounter with the Scary Godmother. In it her older cousin Jimmy tries to scare her into returning home so that his trick or treat party isn’t constrained by her earlier curfew. The ultimate lesson seems to be “cousins who resent your curfew are scarier than traditional monsters, who could be your friends!” which is pretty scary. The second story in the book, “Jimmy’s Revenge” is a on How the Grinch Stole Christmas, but different mythology and Jimmy becomes less scary in it and there is more of the mythology spelled out, such as we learn that the Scary Godmother’s realm is called the Fright Side, and how Hannah regularly visits.

The book’s organization is a little frustrating. There isn’t a table of contents for the entire omnibus. The first part of the book is a hybrid picture book comics with full colors. This is often beautiful and in comparison to the rest of the book, the part best for readers on the younger section. The very end of the book, where there are collections of old covers and sketches to help the animators of the cartoon has some more full color art. Other than that in black and white and full comic story telling. These often have the dates in which they were originally published in them, which really made me wish that the stories in the first part had their original publication dates easily available, because I don’t think they are arranged in chronological order and I would have been interested in seeing that kind of development.

The comic book stories here are for older kids and I can’t say that I liked them. The “Wild About Harry” story is the kind I definitely don’t need right now. “Ghouls Out for Summer” was slightly better, though so much or involved the Scary Godmother being drugged and kidnapped it outs a damper on the more fun plots involving Hannah at sleep away camp and a vampire summer school. Within these stories there are frequently moments where the characters break the fourth wall and gives advice on how to make some snacks. The penultimate section is filled with more snack and craft guides as well as other activities like a crossword. Ultimately it wasn’t for me, but I hope to give my copy to someone who would really love it. 

Over the past week I also read The Dollhouse Family. It’s created by M.R. (Mike) Cary and Peter Gross, one of the teams I am trying to be a completist about. When I started reading comics again one of the series that I quickly caught up on and loved was their The Unwritten, and have been catching up on their other work from Lucifer to The Highest House. While Gross is usually the main artist here he did the layouts but not the finishes (those were done by Vince Locke) so it doesn’t quite look the way I associate Gross’s signature style. I guess this makes it better that they also have covers by someone other than Yuko Shimuzo, who did all of them for both The Unwritten and The Highest House. Here the covers are by Jessica Dalva and they get quite creepy, but are also a little inconsistent.

Anyway The Dollhouse Family was published as part of the Hill House comics that Joe Hill curate for DC’s Black Label. I intend to read all of these but thus far have only read Hill’s delightfully gory Basketful of Heads. While both are horror stories and at least partially take place in the past the two could not be more different. Basketful of Heads is over one very violent night and while there are some serious themes of class based corruption and abuse, it is comparatively light next to the intergenerational trauma’s and epic span of time in The Dollhouse Family. When I reached the conclusion I was struck by how the most horrifying events were not cause by the Dollhouse, so the supernatural wrap up couldn’t entirely clear it. It once again strikes me that as a writer, Carey sometimes seems decidedly uninterested in charming his readers. It’s something to get used to, and in my opinion mostly worth while.

James Potter is a weak man! Not because he is actually weak but because he has no resistance to puppy dog eyes or crying or anything really.

Sirius asks James to pull a prank on the Slytherins and James says no he’s a little busy with quidditch and Sirius just tilts his head with a frown and James gives in EVERY time.

Peter invited James to play chess but James already has plans so Peter just nods and looks resigned to his fate and James cracks.

Regulus however, he is the worst. Because he cries. And he can full on sob to get James to do whatever he wants. He can’t resist Regulus with tears in his eyes much less with tears running down his cheeks.

James Potter is a weak man but he is completely fine with it
