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”
UFO Award notations on covers
Some minor housekeeping: Covers for our 2022 United Fanzine Organization titles have been updated to reflect the recently-announced 2023 UFO Awards. Check out the fancy ribbon graphics! Digital files in the Gumroad store have been updated as well. Should I reprint these titles, they will get the new covers.

The most amazing review of Strange Times #2
Being a member of the United Fanzine Organization co-op is a joy. Honest, it is. At it’s core, it does two things: 1. Provides a vehicle for members to mutually promote each others’ works, and 2. Through sharing complimentary copies of our works, give members a platform through the Tetragrammaton Fragments newsletter to review theContinue reading “The most amazing review of Strange Times #2”

Heroes Now #2 & 3 reviews!
One of the main reasons I rejoined the United Fanzine Organization (Website, Facebook group) after lo these many years away from small press comics was the camaraderie and constructive support that the membership offers to one another. It comes in many ways, but a highlight is the member reviews of each others’ publications. (As aContinue reading “Heroes Now #2 & 3 reviews!”
Next round revving up…
Hey all, been a little while since I updated you on things. It seems as if the publishing world works in ebbs and floes (flows?) around here. But I’ll offer a few little tidbits as things are starting to cook once again. And I think that covers the latest! I hope you’ve been enjoying theContinue reading “Next round revving up…”
Check out the United Fanzine Organization checklist!
Every couple of months (or so), the United Fanzine Organization co-op publishes a checklist of their members’ latest books. Here’s February 2023’s…with a few familiar faces… Tom Fellrath/Phoenix Productions is a proud member of the UFO, and every book listed strives to present the best of small press comics and fanzines. They’re all worth aContinue reading “Check out the United Fanzine Organization checklist!”
