I can't tell you how thrilled I am to present the first promo clip for Stella B. and the Busted League. Full series will debut in late Spring!

Finally, a post here for those that don't do Facebook or Twitter. The long-rumored "project" I've been hinting about is web series ensemble comedy about comic book nerds. We're currently casting, so if you know of any actors in the DFW area (especially cosplayer/actors -- would love to cast one), please point them at the website: www.bustedleague. ( Read more... )

I had a great time at the show, mainly just chatting up many of my old pals from the early years of the century when I was self-publishing. I blew off Leonard Nimoy's autograph ($75!! LONG LINES!!) in favor of the amazing duo from TV's The Flash, namely John Wesley Shipp and Amanda Pays (also from my all-time fave Max Headroom). The new convention ( Read more... )

It was this past weekend, I went for a few hours on Saturday. Truth be told, it was kind of a lame show; the hotel is way too small for the event (they're moving to a bigger one next year) so everybody was packed in like sardines, it was hotter 'n heck, and the guest-list was nowhere as good as it has been in past years. I was interested to see ( Read more... )

I haven't posted here since last August. More to come, promise.

In 1997 I was priviledged to attend the Fandom Reunion Luncheon, held during (but not directly associated with) the Chicago Comic Convnetion at Rosemont, IL. My personal account of the event can be found here, but recently Russ Maheras, who helped Bill Schelly organize the event, posted a gaggle of pictures on his Facebook account, several of which ( Read more... )

Holy cats, a nearly-complete collection of my old sf/horror film fanzine Wet Paint sold on eBay this past week for $561! This was a collection of over 30 zines that I published roughly from 1982 - 1994, back in the heyday of my fan-publishing; none had a print run of more than 150 copies, and most were more like in the range of 75 copies. That's ( Read more... )

Great. A beautiful, sexy girl who's into science fiction, but she still won't sleep with us because she'd rather jack off to RB. Oh, wait. Maybe it's satire.

In the late 1980s, my old pal Mark Stokes (who I hadn't met yet) entered the then-bustling indie/self-publishing market with his b/w satire Zombie Boy, which was essentially a voodoo riff on Richie Rich. His Diamond orders sold out his print run, and though there never was an issue #2, ZB did crop up in two more self-published #1 issues over the ( Read more... )

Dateline: Titan Comics, 2006. Despite a few years of reduced activity, I had decided to participate in the annual "24 Hour Comic Book" day, in which a creator attempts to create a 24-page comic book in a single continuous 24-hour period. Rebecca and Paul at Titan had organized the event and were hosting as many comic creators as the premises would ( Read more... )
