Get Your BAM's Right Here!

A lot of ground to cover, so let's get right at it!

BAM! Today is my main blog, Diversions of the Groovy Kind's ninth anniversary. I never dreamed it would last this long--and it's still going strong. Wow!

BAM! Issues 3 (featuring Midnight Stranger part 3) and 4 (featuring Kragor and Black Rose) of Fun Adventure Comics are soon to be in print at Indy Planet and are currently available in .pdf through Drive-Thru Comics. Issue 3 is also available digitally through comXology. Way to go publisher Warren Montgomery!

And that's not even hinting at the ka-razy new concept Midnight Stranger artist Joe Koziarski and I are cooking up!

BAM! The first issue of InDELLible Comics' All New Popular Comics has hit Amazon, and it looks great! I'll have a feature in the third or fourth ish of PopCom featuring a brand new "Golden Age version" of The Voice!

BAM! We're closing in on a publication date for Surprising Universe #1 featuring my Unbeatable Brick origin story. Here's artist "CoInk Adink's" awesome cover:

BAM! Incredible Ian Groff has completed the art for our brand new Kragor adventure, and it looks amazing! Here's the inked splash:

"The Ballad of Setoora" will be featured next year in an issue of Will Lill's Fun Adventure Comics! Not only that, but Ian and I are working on a short horror story in the Creepy/Eerie mode that we hope will see print soon!

BAM! Remarkable Russ Martin has completed the pencils and inks on the first chapter of Ash-Aman and is creating even more phenomenal pages for chapter two! Check out the splashes for parts one and two...

BAM! Dynamic Donnie Page is working with me on a short sci-fi/horror shocker which we hope will be the first of many collaborations. Donnie is the Buscema Brothers and John Romita, Sr. rolled into one! Check out this page...

BAM! Daring David Johnson Jr. and I are working on a brand new split book featuring two brand new characters that have us very excited: the cosmic hero Captain Beyond and the cybernetic spy Agent 31! Here's a promo piece that's a work in progress, but too spectacular for me to keep under wraps:

BAM! And, oh, yeah...Publisher John Helmer has given me permission to destroy the Lucky Comics Universe (featuring Beetle Girl, Black Bat, and U.S. Jones) in...The Unlucky! Stay tuned!

BAM! That's not ALL that's going on in my comicbook world, but that should hold you for now! Hopefully next time I'll have updates on Fantastic Giants and G.R.U.N.T.--and probably even more cool stuff! Meantime, I still need an artist for my western Guns & Rosa!

Even More Comics Are Comin'!

Yeah, there's been a bit of a lull in my stories being published, but things are moving along on several fronts, so get ready for some fun funnies!

First of all, my Unbeatable Brick story for Surprising Universe #1 is almost completed! Artist David Johnson, Jr. set a high bar in the art department, and "So You Think You've Had a Bad Day?" (how'zat for a superhero origin title?) is coming down the home stretch in the lettering department. We should be hearing about a release date for SU#1 from publisher Mark Davis very soon. I've also written the second episode of Unbeatable Brick and will start on the third one, soon. Meantime, check out some more of David's awesome Unbeatable Brick art...

David and I are also working on a brand-new cosmic character called Captain Beyond! We're thrilled with CB's three-part origin story and hope you will be too! It'll be a little while before it's ready for print, but meantime plant your peepers on this taste of wonderment to come...!

Next, I have brand new  Kragor story in the works, this one illustrated by Ian Groff! This might be my favorite Kragor story yet, and I'm' so excited Ian's drawing it!  Ian has a cool style that suits our favorite teen barbarian perfectly! Just check out some samples and see for yourself...

I'm also collaborating with artist Russell Martin (illustrator of Daemon Mask, which you can read in Pulp Adventures Magazine #24--order a copy here) on another brand-new character called Ash-Aman of Atlantis. This is a straight-up fantasy character that I think you're really gonna dig! Check out Russ' designs for the main characters of Ash-Aman's first story arc:

I also have a couple stories I plan to submit to The Creeps (now nationally distributed via comics shops AND newsstands across America! Way to go, Publisher Rich Sala!), so fingers crossed there.


The original Kragor story illustrated by Louis Sollune, the third Midnight Stranger story (illoed by the incredible Joe Koziarski), and the sci-fi/western/horror short-shocker "Snake Eyes" will be coming your way via Will Lill's Fun Adventure Comics very soon, so hang in there!


I have a bunch of stories featuring The Black Spider (for all you fans of pulp-inspired superheroes) and Guns & Rosa (for all you western fans) that I still need artists for, so, artists, don't be shy and send me samples @ thegroovyagent@yahoo.com or contact me via the comments section below.

There's lots more to come--2017 is gonna be a comicbook blast! Stay tuned!
