Next round revving up…

Hey all, been a little while since I updated you on things. It seems as if the publishing world works in ebbs and floes (flows?) around here. But I’ll offer a few little tidbits as things are starting to cook once again. And I think that covers the latest! I hope you’ve been enjoying the

Has it been a month?

It’s been too long since my last update, and there’s been a lot happening on every possible front. Catch up here!

Labor Day means Phoenix books in progress

If you’re paid any attention over the past few months, I was laying low on comics since the SPACE 2022 show in Columbus. My goal: Get through the summer, enjoy it with the kids and then ramp it up once Labor Day hit. And that’s come to pass as expected. Well, kinda. I actually was

A brief and overdue update

Hey comics-world! It feels like it’s been forever and a day since I had the flurry of activity concluding with the enjoyable S.P.A.C.E. show here in Columbus. Pro tip: The 2023 date and location are set! Mark your calendars! So while I am not blessed with time, I’ll do a quick and dirty rundown of

Post-SPACE wrapup – First show since ’87!

The 22nd Small Press & Alternative Comics Expo, aka SPACE, was held on May 21-22 at the Rhodes Center on the grounds of the Ohio State Fairgrounds. That’s the top-line explanation, but then there’s what happened inside. I’ll try to share what little I could see from my vantage point, as well as my personal

2nd printings ordered; Digital prices lowered

Inventories are low enough that I’ve gone back to press for extra copies of the following: HEROES NOW: PATRIOT STRANGE TIMES #1 HEROES NOW: PATRIOT – COMMENTARY EDITION These second printings will allow me to keep the in-house inventory up while also putting me in a position to do shows should the opportunity present itself.

STRANGE TIMES #1 is Sold Out, still available digitally

Thanks in part to low print runs, high customer interest and USPS ineptitude (they lost 20% of my print run…sigh), Strange Times #1 is SOLD OUT for paper copies. At present, there are no plans to reprint the book. A major factor will be whether I choose to do comic shows like Columbus, Ohio’s S.P.A.C.E.
