Kragor, Ash-Aman, and G.R.U.N.T.! Oh, My!

What's up, y'all! I've almost let June slip by without a post on what's going on in my little corner of the comicbook world! Letting a month go by without mentioning what's going on would make it seem like...nothing's going on! (That made sense in my head...) Ahem. Stuff is going on! Here it is:

Midnight Stranger in Fun Adventure Comics #3, and that magnificent mag is available digitally right now via DriveThruComics! It'll soon be available through comiXology and in print through IndyPlanet, too! And very soon, FAC #4 will be out with a classic Kragor story, so thank's Warren Montgomery and Will Lill Comics for making summertime Fun Adventure Comics time!

Speaking of Kragor, Incredible Ian Groff has completed the pencils for a brand new Kragor tale, "The Ballad of Setoora!" Here's a little teaser of a page for you to drool over...

Remarkable Russ Martin has completed the pencils for the first chapter of Ash-Aman's origin and is now inking away! Prepare to have your mind blown by this gorgeous splash page...

Wondrous Wes Wedman has teamed up with yours truly to create a brand new hero called G.R.U.N.T.! What is G.R.U.N.T.? He's a soldier...he's a zombie...he's a man who's been "Genetically Re-engineered with Ultimate Nano Technology"...and he's gonna knock your socks off!

Oh, yeah, more big news: I'm going to be contributing a brand new/retro feature to a future issue of InDELLible's All-New Popular Comics! We're doing an old-school story featuring an old-school character called...The Voice!

And, as always, I'm still looking for an artist for my western Guns & Rosa. I also have a few 5-6 page one-off sci-fi and horror comics if any artistic type out there is interested in just a fun little diversion...and I have some cool new super-hero ideas as well! If you're an artist who loves to draw good, old-fashioned comics with a twist, send samples to: thegroovyagent@yahoo.com ! Pax!!

Kragor, Midnight Stranger, Unbeatable Brick, and Fantastic Giants Are A'Comin'!

Along with last month's announcements, there's even more excitement in the pipeline! Ready? Set? Go!!

First up, Will Lill Comics publisher Warren Montgomery  has announced that Midnight Stranger part 3 will appear in Fun Adventure Comics #3 in June, then Kragor will be cover-featured in Fun Adventure Comics #4 in July! Happy summer!!

Next, Surprising Comics publisher Mark Davis has thrown caution to the wind and granted Unbeatable Brick his VERY OWN COMIC once Surprising Universe finishes its three issue run. UB artist supreme David Johnson Jr. will continue drawing the series, and he's even created a new villain for the premiere ish! I LOVE writing Unbeatable Brick and I sure hope y'all dig it! Just to hold you over, here's David's in-your-face cover rough for UB's turn on the cover of Surprising Universe #3!

And last, but certainly not least..in fact, this is pretty big! And do I ever mean BIG! My online pal Steven Butler (yeah, THAT Steven Butler) and I are gonna work together (along with co-creator/inker/colorist/editor/honcho Mort Todd--yeah, THAT Mort Todd) on a brand spanking feature for Charlton Neo/Pix-C bringing back that grand old name, Fantastic Giants! Besides bringing back the name the name, we're also re-imagining Son of Vulcan into something totally exciting and new--Robogod Vulkan! But wait, the title is Fantastic Giants, plural, right? Right! Steven has also created a new gi-normous creature with roots in Charlton-past, Kongorr! And me? I get to put in lots of words! The plan is to run Fantastic Giants on online Pix-C and when it's finished, Charlton Neo will collect and publish the entire 30 page epic in it's own print-mag!

Yep, exciting times for yers trooly! I sure hope you join me for the ride!

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!
