This is not a drill. I actually have digital proofs of Heroic: Heroes now. Only one minor tweak as best I can see, but I’m giving Matt Kanaracus a chance to look it over before green-lighting the presses. It’s only fair, seeing as a healthy portion of the book was drawn by his pen…over 30Continue reading “Heroic: Heroes Past proofs are in hand”

Catching up
Hey everyone – Sorry it’s been so long between updates. August has been largely about getting the kiddos ready for school, which just started today. But that’s not to say that I wasn’t busy…. William Henry Caddell and I are cruising along on Hologram #2, and I am reasonably confident that we will have itContinue reading “Catching up”
Been a little while…
Quick update on the state o’ things: I am working on Heroes Past, a book reprinting my five heroes’ stories…a short “omnibus”, if you will. Most all work on it is done, but I need to nail down the page count and get the special front cover finalized. To the best of my knowledge, I’veContinue reading “Been a little while…”
Not gonna jinx anything!
It’s been a little while since I wrote with an update on the status of new projects. (The old collection has been entirely bagged and packaged into manageable boxes…that took a week-plus.) And while I don’t want to screw up the system, here are some intentionally vague tidbits: Collected edition of older books – AContinue reading “Not gonna jinx anything!”
Progress on Hologram
Hologram has been a fascinating ride since I chose to resurrect the character. In the same vein as Patriot, I’m trying to create the 30+ year history of a character that we haven’t seen since 1988. With Patriot, I crafted a long (31 pages, I think) script that covers all the bases. What happened then,Continue reading “Progress on Hologram”
New Patriot sneak peek
The Patriot book – a one-shot with potential to go farther – is a go! Tony Lorenz, a great small press artist with a strong list of credits to his name, was recommended by a couple wise owls. He has agreed to draw my 30+ page script. Here’s his first drawing of the title character.Continue reading “New Patriot sneak peek”
On the prowl
I still have a bit left to scan for the library, but the real matter at hand is getting new creative material off the ground. As a writer, I’m only able to push a story so far. So if you’re an artist, one looking to play around on the fringes of the spandex hero sphere,Continue reading “On the prowl”
The (rough) plan going forward
(Excerpted from a personal statement of direction/purpose) As background, I wrote a few small press comic book stories back in the 1980’s. I have 4 characters where I have clear creative rights: Patriot (Patriot 1, c. 1987) — A fascist Captain America of sorts with a young sidekick. Lots of Red Scare spy stuff. TheContinue reading “The (rough) plan going forward”
