“Who Are You?” That’s the theme for the second issue of Strange Times, our “anything goes” anthology. The idea of “Who Are You” is tied up in the conversations of our day about identity.

What’s new at Phoenix?

Production snags
The best laid plans… I sent HEROES NOW: PATRIOT and STRANGE TIMES #1 off to the printer last week and received the digital proofs on Friday. STRANGE TIMES looks great. Totally ready to roll. PATRIOT, however, caused me to pause. The grey-tones that Tony Lorenz used were showing up as plaid on my screen. (AsContinue reading “Production snags”
