Last week I did an interview for AshevilleFM.org. I talked a bit about the history of policing, about recent anti-cop resistance, and about the developing politics of police abolition. It’s archived here.

Horror Comics and Economics Comics (August 2011)
Some time ago I wrote a review of Mike Howlett’s Weird World of Eerie Publications for The Comics Journal.
More recently, I wrote a short essay for the Progressive Populist, comparing two comics explaining the economic crisis — Erich Origen and Gan Golan’s Adventures of Unemployed Man and Seth Tobocman, Eric Laursen and Jessica Wehrle’s Understanding the Crash. The piece is mis-labeled as a review, but it isn’t really evaluative; instead it reflects on the different genre choices and visual strategies the two titles employ.
Old horror or new economics — Which is scarier?
