A very big few days
Since returning from vacation on Saturday night, I’ve: Unpacked and washed clothes for the family Grocery shopped Watched football Received unexpected and awesome character art for yet another Phoenix Productions character for the upcoming HEROIC: HEROES NOW anthology while watching football.

Back from vacation!
It’s been a quiet week on the Phoenix Productions front, and for good reason: I wasn’t here! My family and I spent the week on the beaches of the Riviera Maya having a wonderful time avoiding the Ohio cold. I can’t say I “missed” winter, Bob… But I’m back, and there’s comics to be made!Continue reading “Back from vacation!”
When it rains, it pours (in a good way)
Huge day on the Phoenix Productions front: Tony Lorenz handed in the last three pages of Patriot today. We have a couple pages to clean up, but the book is basically done. 33 pages of story! Alan Groening and I are one page plus a technical correction away from being done with Strange Times #1.Continue reading “When it rains, it pours (in a good way)”
Looking back, looking forward
Funny, that title. I’m a Cub Scout leader as part of my non-comics life, and “Looking back, looking forward” is the name of a Webelos (older Cubs) adventure that involves personal and Scouting history. It has been one of my favorite adventures for the Cubs — at 5th grade, these kids barely have a historyContinue reading “Looking back, looking forward”

Tony is over 2/3 complete with the inks on the 33-ish page story,Continue reading “First Look: PATRIOT cover!”
The in-between days
The life of a self-publisher can be streaky. By that, I mean short bursts of lots of visible activity and then long(-ish) stretches of what looks like nothing. I’d say we’re in the latter, but that doesn’t mean nothing is happening. So how about an update? My flagship book, Hologram, is moving along at itsContinue reading “The in-between days”
Patriot update (with artwork)!
Back in May, I teased a character study of my Patriot character by small press legend Tony Lorenz. I also suggested that he was going to draw my one-shot script, wherein we bring the Cold War hero and his sidekick, Jeff, into the modern day. Guess who’s been hard at work? Want to see someContinue reading “Patriot update (with artwork)!”
We got mail!
Much of the joy in self-publishing is the intrinsic satisfaction of creating something new, tangible and creative. But sharing that work is also fun, as is hearing what people think. The United Fanzine Organization is a co-op where members send copies of books and review/critique/support each other in our self-publishing journeys. The latest UFO NewsletterContinue reading “We got mail!”
