Wow—Issue ten is done. One more issue, and it will be time for a new trade paperback. Mind you, I didn’t render the last twelve pages of issue 10, so I’ll have to go back and do that. And, while I have the cover firmly in mind, I haven’t drawn it yet. Hmm, suddenly issue [...]
Hi, Friends!
Sorry I didn’t write a Chicago Comicon 2009 (fka Wizard World Comicon) earlier. I should have done it, but I was just so darned tired from the show. I still am tired, but happy.
Normally when I write convention reports, I produce a long list of old friends I caught up with and people I [...]
Hi, Folks:
If you are in your twenties or thirties, you might not be too aware of who Carmine Infantino is. He was the long time editor-in-chief and/or publisher of DC comics, but before that he was simply an outstanding artist. Here is a fantastic interview with Mr. Infantino.
By today’s overwrought standards, Carmine’s drawings may seem [...]
Morning, All!
Saturday I watched the Watchmen. I was moved by this movie.
For the sake of full disclosure, I was already primed to enjoy the movie, having read the graphic novel many times. As you can tell from Johnny Saturn, I have no allusions that superheroes are perfect or beacons of morality. In fact, I’ve long [...]
Hi, Folks:
My early Christmas present this year is “Watching the Watchmen: The Definitive Companion to the Ultimate Graphic Novel” by Dave Gibbons and Chip Kidd. This is a particularly stunning book, and it includes a lot of the thumbnails, script pages, and early character designs for the characters. It also includes such treats as the [...]
Hi, All!
This review popped up in my incoming links, and I thought it was well written and thought out. In fact, I feel like the writer, Crackwalker, ‘gets’ our comic.

Superheroes have been seeing a renaissance since Hugh Jackman first popped his claws back in 2000. The potential of [...]
Setting Realistic Expectations:
When I first began to seriously draw comics, I gave myself six years to break into the big time—I was aiming at Marvel and DC, and anything less simply would not do. That six-year break-in period came and went years ago, and I spent a lot of time in turmoil, feeling as [...]
This week, on Frumph.net, the site of Phil Hofer aka Frumph, Johnny Saturn is the featured webcomic. Phil has become a great friend, and I refer to him as a true Webcomic Crusader. Here’s the article:

Hi, All!
A new week is upon us, and my poor brain is a-whirl with the possibilities! Or, maybe I’m just dizzy . . . sometimes it’s hard to tell.
I went to the Indiana State Fair yesterday, and I marched around for about six hours with a Johnny Saturn t-shirt on. This might have once seemed [...]
Hi, Friends!
Lacking, as I am, any truly random thoughts tonight, I have decided to instead ply you with a short review of Grant Morrison’s and Andy Kubert’s “Batman and Son” trade paperback. I’ll let you know right off the bat (hehehe) that I enjoyed this book. It’s Batman, right? Why wouldn’t I love this book? [...]
