The Comics Are Coming, the Comics Are Coming!

It's true! All the talk is about to become reality as Will Lill Comics is officially releasing Fun Adventure Comics #1 (featuring my Alex Miracle and Midnight Stranger stories) on July 20! Warren (Montgomery, publisher of Will Lill) sent me some comp copies and they are glorious! Cardstock covers, high-grade white paper stock, and magnificent colors by Warren. Come on a Fun Adventure with us! (Oh, and for those of you who prefer digital comics, ComiXology will, indeed, be carrying Fun Adventure Comics #1!)

Also, hot on its heels, comes Beetle Girl #3 from Lucky Comics! BG is scheduled to go on sale during the first week of August, and will be available in both .pdf and print. Beetle Girl is the brainchild of Lucky Comics publisher John Helmer and I love her! She's a sassy, powerful lady, who just happens to be the granddaughter of the original Blue Beetle! In my story she battles a new version of original BB villain the Sphinx, and boy is he a stinker!

Cover art is by Marcelo Trom and Brad Eastburn, and the interior art is by Eric Douthitt! Keep watching the Lucky Comics blog for more info! Why? 'Cause John Helmer and I have co-plotted a super-special comic in which Beetle Girl teams up with a member of...are you ready for this...a member of POWER CORPS! Yep, one of my old Blue Moon super-dupers is making a comeback in Lucky Comics in a special issue of Beetle Girl!

Beetle Girl Meets...? One of these folks...

Still have a ton of stories that I NEED ARTISTS FOR! GUNS N ROSA, KRAGOR, a couple of brand new heroes (one is COSMIC and the other is a crime-fighter in the vein of Daredevil and The Batman), aaaaaaaand I'm working on...the return of The Black Rose!

Join me in some adventures, won't you?

Hard at Work...

Hey! Hope the New Year is treating you well! Just thought I'd pop in to publicly thank Warren Montgomery, publisher of Will Lill Comics for giving me another shot with Kragor and Alex Miracle! Both of these stories were published in my own Blue Moon Comics back in the late 1990s/early 2000s.

I have a special fondness for Kragor, and still write stories about him quite often (I have about a half dozen on hand--ANYONE OUT THERE WANNA DRAW 'EM?). Ahem. I hope that an enterprising artist (or several of 'em) might read this and be interested in taking a shot at Kragor. I know Louis Sollune (then going by the name of JP Dupras) set the bar high with the first installment, but reach for the stars, baby! Check out his sensational splash page:

Alex Miracle was actually created as a possible submission to Gary Carlson's Big Bang Comics (I came "this close" to having a couple stories published in Big Bang back in the day). It's a "Big Bang" version of Adam Strange, obviously, but I had a lot of fun with it. Artists Ernest Edwards and David Vance did a tremendous job on that story. Again, I think you'll agree when you get a load of the splash...

I'm not sure when Kragor or Alex Miracle will be making their Will Lill debut, but when I find out, I'll let ya know right here!

I've also been working on a couple more new concepts that I'm pretty excited about. Maybe I can fill you in with a bit more information about them next time around. Take care!
