Ya didn't think I'd let July slip away without an update, did ya? Yeah, I wasn't so sure either. It's not because things aren't hopping in my little corner of the comicbook world, though. Actually, it's
because things are hopping in my little corner of the comicbook world (oh, plus the real-life addition of a brand new gorgeous granddaughter, Joanna Bethany Smith) that I'm so long in posting. Makes you kind of curious about what's happening, huh? Then, read on, Macduff!
Ash-Aman chapter three will appear in Will Lill Comics'
Fun Adventure Comics! #9! That magnificent mag will be out around August 15, so don'tcha miss it! Here's the cover for the ish, as well as the superior splash page by the oh-so-talented Russ Martin...
The big news from Surprising Comics, publisher of
Surprising Universe, former home of
Unbeatable Brick, is that it's now an imprint of Lucky Comics (
Beetle Girl et al)! Notice I said that
Surprising Universe is the "former home" of
Unbeatable Brick? Well, shed no tears! Now that Lucky is publishing the Mark Davis' Surprising heroes,
Unbeatable Brick (as well as
Skyscraper and
Depthon) will be getting their own 8 page b&w mags in the tradition of the Lucky line of comics! That means that, any day now, you'll be able to get your hands (or digits, if you prefer .pdf) on your very own copy of
Unbeatable Brick #1! That's right, the origin of
Unbeatable Brick from the super-rare
Surprising Universe number one-and-only (with awesome art by David Johnson Jr.) will be reprinted in ish #1, then brand new stories, written by yours truly and illustrated by artists like Donnie Page, JW Erwin, Joe Graves, and more, will come your way starting in ish number two! Dig the covers (yep, Lucky does variants!) to ish #1 by JW Erwin and David Johnson Jr.!
Speaking of Dy-no-mite Donnie Page, he and I have been working on a few more projects that are gonna knock you out! One featuring the public domain hero
The Owl...
And, as mentioned above, a brand new
Unbeatable Brick tale! Check out this splash (literally, it's a splash!)…
Finally, Lucky Comics publisher John Helmer has made me a very tempting offer to bring my old company, Blue Moon Comics, out of retirement as a Lucky Comics imprint. Is it time for the Blue Moon to rise again? We're gonna test the waters with a rarely-seen Blue Moon superhero called
The Luminary. If you like it, there could be more to come. Stay tuned!
