Two-thirds done, and I’m now officially on the Back Eight. Go, me. I’ve referred to a dark period in the Crusader’s life when there was a “Crusader on Ice” show. The idea for it was very loosely taken from the Sea World DC Super Hero Waterski Show from the Seventies (and which I was lucky [...]
The 2008 Saturn Awards were Wednesday. You can see the full list of winners here. All the attendees received a lovely gift bag, including an issue of Love and Capes. Congratulations to all the winners and nominees, and hope you like the book. And, if any big names do like the book and want to [...]
There’s a universal constant: No matter what version of Flash Gordon there is, Princess Aura is always smokin’ hot. This one is based upon those way-cool Filmation designs from their animated series. It was my first exposure to Flash Gordon, and one that stuck. Heck, I even have a soft spot for that 1980 Sam [...]
Yesterday, I posted about my "I Love Comics Toys" article at Newsarama. I sent a link to it to my aunts who built the houses, and they responded with photos from that Christmas (thankfully there’s only one where you can see me at all). This is what the dollhouses looked like before we lost so [...]
I’m a Trivia Question! Over on the Comic Geek Speak podcast they do a regular "Stump the Rios" trivia question segment. They do three questions: DC, Marvel and an independent book. On episode #458, the Indy Question is: In Thom Zahler’s "Love and Capes", Amazonia writes a tell-all book. What’s the title of the book? [...]
JK Parkin over at Newsarama asked me to write a guest blog for their "I (LOVE)" series. I was honored and thrilled to do it, although sorry that their venerable institution had fallen on such hard times that they contacted me. My article is all about my crazy love for comics toys. It includes such [...]
Here’s the second-last image for my second Powerful Women sketchbook. Batman and the Outsiders was one of those series I knew about, but got on board too late. Fortunately, my cousin has been buying a lot of those Showcase reprints and has been lending them to me when he’s done. Now I’m reading the Batman [...]
Yeah, yeah, I’ve got a new panel. But I’ve also got this bit of coolness: This is my six hundreth post on the weblog! Wow. I’ve had a lot to say over the last three years, I guess.It’s been fun, and I’ve got no intentions of stopping. Thanks to everyone who’s been a part of [...]
The Deco City convention center is one of those places that’s so big that they’re able to host two shows: a Bridal Fair and… a Comic Book Convention. I’ve had this idea in mind since I did my interview with Sequential Tart last year. So, if you’ve read the article, or are clever enough to [...]
The retail version of Love and Capes #7 has hit the shops, and wouldn’t you know, there’s been a review or two. Including this one from Blake M. Petit at Comixtreme.com: I’m used to recommending comics for my girlfriend, but this is the first comic she’s ever recommended to me. And lo and behold, it’s [...]
