Off to the printer!

Very quick update: Heroes Now 4 and Strange Times 4 have been sent to the printer! I’ll still need to see digital proofs, receive the zines and get them out to recipients, but it’s so satisfying to say that the clock is now ticking. The print order will be for contributors, friends and United FanzineContinue reading “Off to the printer!”

Radio silence means things are happening!

It’s been around a month since I last posted, and for good reason. Lots of stuff on the family front – three kids in the throes of fall sports season, along with evening practices and weekend travel – plus a quick trip to SPX in Washington DC kept me on my toes. Oh yeah, andContinue reading “Radio silence means things are happening!”

Big changes to the back catalog

Of course I couldn’t have picked a better time, but this has been percolating in my mind for a while now. It’s also been something that I’ve been working hard on over the last week or so. What’s going on, you ask? Well, I’m migrating the Phoenix Productions physical back issue store to Amazon. There’sContinue reading “Big changes to the back catalog”

HEROES NOW #4 is finished

A little update for those interested: Heroes Now #4 is complete. I’ve been hop-scotching back and forth between Heroes Now, Strange Times, Hologram and Something in the Water (much to the chagrin of my long-neglected Inktober 52 artwork) for a while now. I figured it would be best to put one project to bed andContinue reading “HEROES NOW #4 is finished”

Strange Times to be added to Columbia University Library

An incredible side effect of Stephen Bissette’s endorsement of Matt Levin’s Strange Times #3 collection of Walking Man Comics is that it grabbed the attention of the Curator for Comics and Cartoons at Columbia University Rare Books & Manuscript Library. She ordered all three issues of Strange Times. When I sent the shipping confirmation, IContinue reading “Strange Times to be added to Columbia University Library”

The legendary Stephen Bissette praises STRANGE TIMES #3

While his most famous work comes out of his collaboration with writer Alan Moore and inker John Totleben on Saga of the Swamp Thing, he’s been a prolific presence in comics for decades. And now we know that StephenContinue reading “The legendary Stephen Bissette praises STRANGE TIMES #3”

See you in Chillicothe on Saturday!

It feels like forever since I tabled at a show — SPACE 2022, over a year ago! Gotta rectify that. I stumbled upon the Street Cat Zine Fest (URL, Facebook) in Chillicothe, Ohio on the zinelove chat Facebook group (a great group with a distinctly international flair). Stephanie Renner apparently has been organizing these annualContinue reading “See you in Chillicothe on Saturday!”

Phoenix Prods on Instagram, LinkTree

Trying to keep pace with the times… Phoenix Productions is now up and running on Instagram. I’ll likely be putting some unique content over there, so please make a point to sign up if keeping tabs on Phoenix Productions is important to you. While I’m thinking about it, Phoenix Productions also is on LinkTree. IContinue reading “Phoenix Prods on Instagram, LinkTree”
