Check out the Spring/Summer Phoenix Productions catalog!

It’s that time of year…around six months since the last catalog was published. And I have a few more zines to share, so it was time for a fresh look. My graphic design skills are slowly improving, so this time I thought I’d play with a faux tabloid look, and toss in some color. YouContinue reading “Check out the Spring/Summer Phoenix Productions catalog!”

Strange Times 5 — SOOOO close!

The mad dash of the self-publishers is ON! Like others locally, I’m moving heaven and earth to get ready for SPACE 2024. Prepping for a show can be as all-encompassing as one wants to make it, and my crazy summer plans suggest that this may be the only such event in which Phoenix will haveContinue reading “Strange Times 5 — SOOOO close!”

Quick FANZine Live update

[Slightly edited from a social media post from earlier today] Thanks to everyone for the positive response to the Welcome video. I’m going to be learning as I go, so please bear with me as hiccups are sure to occur. Already, I’m mulling over ways to improve different technical aspects. For a DIY rig onContinue reading “Quick FANZine Live update”

Work in progress: Something in the Water 4

Slowly but surely, Something in the Water 4 is rolling along… …and I’ve hit the point where I need to figure out what the next character looks like!  Guess it’s “pens down” for a little while so I can work that point out. Are you an illustrator, writer or comic/zine publisher?  If so, what areContinue reading “Work in progress: Something in the Water 4”

2024: The Road Ahead

Nope, I’m not announcing the next theme of Strange Times. (But it would be a good one.) This is a personal statement. Because if you write it down or type it out, there’s accountability. And I want to be accountable. A positive side effect of sitting down and assembling the “2023 in Review” post was that I took stockContinue reading “2024: The Road Ahead”

2023 in Review

What a strange trip this has been! So much happening in comics, at home and in the world. I don’t know as it’s entirely appropriate to share everything outside of comics (as this is a comics-centric operation, you know), but a Year in Review needs to be posted to provide historical perspective…but also to give me timeContinue reading “2023 in Review”

Check out the brand new 2023-24 Phoenix catalog!

While Strange Times 4 and Heroes Now 4 were percolating at the printer, I found myself with the time to finally put together a legitimate catalog of Phoenix Productions zines. You can download a copy of the catalog by clicking here. I’ll also bring copies to shows and zine fests, not to mention toss itContinue reading “Check out the brand new 2023-24 Phoenix catalog!”

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”

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”
