The books are on the street, and former United Fanzine Organization Chairman and small press comics legend Jeff Wood got the first mention: I thanked Jeff for his kind mention, and he replied, “[T]hank you for the enjoyable books!” Small press publishing is fun! It’s a terrific challenge to make the books, but just asContinue reading “First HEROES NOW: PATRIOT & STRANGE TIMES mention!”

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.

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”
First Look: PATRIOT cover!
Just came in today, and I had to share — Larry Johnson’s cover for the forthcoming PATRIOT book! It’s been a long time coming — I started working on the script back in March 2021 — but we’re in the home stretch! Tony is over 2/3 complete with the inks on the 33-ish page story,Continue reading “First Look: PATRIOT cover!”
My Picks for the Top Comics of 2021
Happy Boxing Day! Everyone has their “Best of” lists for the year-end, and I read quite a few comics, too…so it only makes sense that I add my faves. This is a lightly edited compilation of my end-of-column notes that I’ve been inserting into the United Fanzine Organization‘s newsletter, Tetragrammaton Fragments, since rejoining that greatContinue reading “My Picks for the Top Comics of 2021”
Best Hologram review ever?
Former United Fanzine Organization chair and small press publishing legend Jeff Wood is catching up on his pile of unread zines, and he’s dishing out the commentary and accolades as appropriate. Here’s his Hologram mention: “Freaky diary of an insubstantial man.” Love it! Speaking of our insubstantial man, William Caddell and I are doing ourContinue reading “Best Hologram review ever?”
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)!”
Small press legend Larry Johnson reviews Heroic: Heroes Past
Much like United Fanzine Organization Chair Steve Keeter, Larry Johnson has been making fanzines and small press comics since I was a toddler. (Probably earlier!) He remains prolific, with his books making a regular appearance in UFO member mailboxes and even a 200+ page collected edition of his Tales of Fantasy available for purchase. Larry’sContinue reading “Small press legend Larry Johnson reviews Heroic: Heroes Past”

Continuing the reviews of Heroic: Heroes Past from Tetragrammaton Fragments, the United Fanzine Organization newsletter, here’s Chairman Steve Keeter, a legend of fanzine publishing and a guy who’s been publishing since 50-year-old me was 2 years old! Needless to say, a positive review from “SKeeter” means a great deal. Rather than retype his words, here’sContinue reading “UFO Chairman reviews Heroic: Heroes Past”
Heroic: Heroes Past review
Heroic: Heroes Past was circulated to members of the United Fanzine Organization co-op as part of my obligation as a member to share my books and review/comment on those sent to me. A few of the members were kind enough to offer their thoughts on the book in Tetragrammaton Fragments, the UFO’s bimonthly newsletter. VerlContinue reading “Heroic: Heroes Past review”
