I've been waiting to spill the news about a couple fun projects I've been involved in, and it looks like now is the time! Ho, ho, hoo-ray!
Just found out that InDELLible's All-New Popular Comics #4 is on sale at Amazon right this very moment! This album-sized, 70 page, FULL COLOR anthology features TWO stories written by yours truly and penciled by my pal, the late, great Donnie Page! First is "The Owl and the Pantherman!" This one stars the famed Public Domain creature of the night superhero at his battling best! If you dig this one, we really must take our collective hats off to inker/finisher John Gentil who literally saved this story from oblivion by inking the whole story from PHOTOGRAPHS Donnie had sent me as he drew it. Haltacolor did an amazing job enhancing Donnie and John's art with their colors and lettering. The second story in the ish, "King of the Hill" might sound familiar to those of you who grabbed a copy of Diversions #1--that's because it's the same story, except this time Mort Todd's incredible colors are in full view! Ho, ho, hoo-whooooo! You can order your copy of All-New Popular Comics #4 (aka PopCom #4) directly from Amazon by clicking right here!

Oh, and the fine folks at InDELLible have issue #5 of PopCom almost completed--and I have a story in there, too, illustrated by the sure-to-be-artistic-superstar--Truman Vasco! It's another classic Public Domain character, The Voice in "Lucky Dog!"
And speaking of classic, public domain heroes, I did a brand new Green Mask tale for my pal Mark Davis' Golden Era #2! Once again, I was fortunate to be paired with another uber-talented buddy on the art-end, David Johnson Jr.! Ho, ho, hoo-hah! It's on sale NOW at IndyPlanet! Click here and get your copy!
