Go in comics

I was curious to find out if there were other Go blogs out there. Google instead found me a new Go comic site called KoFightClub by Russ Williams. He has quite a large number of strips that he created from 2000 to 2002. I found them hillarious!

Oddly, they haven't been indexed in Sensei's Library so I will probably add that sometime next month. I wonder if he's gotten them published in print?

KoFightClub had a link to another strip called Making Life, by Justin Carmical. It's hosted by the Springs Go Club in Colorado.

I assume some of you might already be familiar with K.Budzinski's Almost Sente which has been featured in Sensei's Library. It's already been published as a book but I can't find any copies here in the US.

You can read a few of his strips on his website.

Of course, most of us already know about Hikaru No Go. This manga deserves credit for having ignited a firestorm of interest in Go among Asia's youth and is has begun its encroachment in the West. It's now up to volume 4 in its English translation licensed by Viz. Excerpts can usually be found on Shonen Jump's website.
