Brand new United Fanzine Organization member Len Mihalovich was kind enough to offer some thoughts on FANzine Three: Street Art in the 283rd issue of Tetragrammaton Fragments, the UFO newsletter. A couple things: First, the cat’s out of the bag. I find that the camaraderie and shared love of comics/zines in the UFO is soContinue reading “A little U.F.O. love for FANzine Three: Street Art!”

Looking back, Looking forward (2025 edition)
Happy New Year! May 2025 be awesome for each and every one of you who choose to read this. (And everyone who doesn’t.) For those who’ve come in late, I wrote a piece back around New Year’s last year. In a way, it served as a North Star for my efforts in 2024. In another,Continue reading “Looking back, Looking forward (2025 edition)”
FANzine Live: Week of June 15-21
It was a choice: Post weekly recaps or record videos to ensure uninterrupted flow of videos to hold things over while I chased my son around Central Europe. I chose the latter, and now I have a LOT of recaps to post. Let the deluge begin! Let’s step into the wayback machine at FANzine LiveContinue reading “FANzine Live: Week of June 15-21”
2024: The Halfway Point
New Year’s is a time of self-renewal. We make resolutions, mostly to improve ourselves in an effort to be happier, more confident and more satisfied with one’s life. I know, 99% of the resolutions are of the lose weight/exercise variety, and 99% of THOSE don’t pan out. But I’d like to try for a more modest, perhaps moreContinue reading “2024: The Halfway Point”
Another big year with the UFO Awards
The 2023 UFO Awards were an unexpected surprise insofar as it reflected 2022 work, my real comeback year in the United Fanzine Organization. And what a surprise it was! It’s hard to properly express how it felt, being away from the hobby for so long, to return and feel the appreciation of your peers –Continue reading “Another big year with the UFO Awards”
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”
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!”
A “must do”: Mini Comix Co-Op
With Strange Times #3 and Hologram: Counting the Days Book One out the door, I finally have time to attack a few items that have been on my small press to-do list. One of those was to get involved in Danny Ferbert‘s Mini Comix Co-Op! The premise is simple (all laid out on his website):Continue reading “A “must do”: Mini Comix Co-Op”
