Three from Pronto

OK Kids, here is my latest comic from Pronto Comics, it is a B&W short entitled Perceptions, with art from David Quiles!

It joins my other two Pronto Comics, Hot Girl & Totally Hot Girl, and First In Flight (the story of Gustave Whitehead). I’m really very excited about this comic especially as it has now joined my other two books (alongside the rest of the Pronto line) up on IndyPlanet.com.

The Cinema Couch

A couple of weeks back, while I was attending Ray Felix’s Superhero comic con (once again in the Bronx) I was interviewed by Dana Gallagher from The Cinema Couch. here is that interview.



Truthfully, this was a tad odd for me, as I am usually the one doing the interviewing, not being interviewed (as you can probably tell from the clip).

It's my birthday, and I'll post if I want to!

Yep, today I'm Half-a-Hundred, Plus Seven (and still counting). If you want to get me a present (and you are certainly encouraged to do so), then you should hurry over to IndyPlanet and purchase a copy of my insanely popular comic ($2.50 + S&H) Hot Girl & Totally Hot Girl!

Your life will totally be enriched because of it! (We kid you not.)

It is fun, entertaining, and totally non-fattening!

It was published by the good folks over at Pronto Comics.

My “Second” Review

On the heals of the review of my comic Hot Girl & Totally Hot Girl I've been reviewed again, this time on IndyPlanet by a couple of folks who bought and read the comic. For a preview of the comic, check out the Pronto Comics page.

OK, OK, one of the folks who reviewed the comic was me (again), but there was someone else that was looking forward to it.

Anyways, I urge you all to go to the IndyPlanet site, but the comic and leave a (positive) review of the comic. Thanks all!

My first review

OK, that's not quite right. I've been reviewed before, it is just that this particular review is my first review of Hot Girl and Totally Hot Girl, my brand-spanking new comic from Pronto Comics which is available as a Print on Demand (PoD) from IndyPlanet. Spiderfan gave the comic five out of five stars, and totally loved it:

SpiderFan is a site totally dedicated to Spider-Man and places he appears, and since Spidey appears in a crowd scene on the first page, the fine folks over at SpiderFan chose to post the comic and review it.

Here is a picture (with link to the review) on the front page of the Spiderfan website.

OK, to be entirely truthful, I was the one who reviewed the comic. (Hey, I’m really a reviewer for the site. Honest. And hey, if you can't give yourself a good reviewer for your own comic, then why bother being a reviewer, eh?) Anyway, if you want to buy a copy for yourself, then you can go here to check out a preview of the comic first, and then go here and get yourself a copy of your own.

Have fun!

Bronx Hero Con 2012

This Saturday I’ll be returning to the Bronx Hero Con which is (as always) hosted by my good buddy, Ray Felix. Hopefully, by then I should have copies of my new Pronto comic Hot Girl & Totally Hot Girl, as well as copies of the numerous Main Enterprises comics in which my stories have appeared.

This is one of my favorite cons and it will be held at The Bronx Museum on  May Friday 11^th  and Sat. 12 ^th  2012 @ The Bronx Museum, located at
1040 Grand Concourse
At 165th Street

Looking forward to seeing all of you there!

Hot Girl & Totally Hot Girl are (finally) here!

Well, kids, it has been a long road, but finally my comicbook Hot Girl and Totally Hot Girl is now available over at IndyPlanet for a mere $2.50 (+ S&H).

The journey from idea to fully-published comic took me probably close to five years. It grew out of an idea that got pitched as, well, as something of a joke, but then festered and grew into an actually fully-formed real concept. It was then typed out on my smartphone (no really), then presented to a guy I met who was a co-worker of someone I had known for years.

Then it took almost another year until the — then unpublished artist — to get his rather hectic life in order enough to realize that I was serious and to buckle down to do the work. Once the art was finally completed (pencils, inks and colors), it was lettered (then re-lettered), and pitched to a couple of publishers.

Needless to say, it was generally well received, but it was the visionary folks over at Pronto Comics who finally committed to publishing it. Originally it was supposed to have been a part of a full-color anthology, but that project hit a snag or three and apparently vaporized. Not wanting the strip to linger in limbo I was asked if I wanted to publish it as a stand-alone Print-on-Demand comic. I agreed and we proceeded with that idea.

Unfortunately we hit yet another snag when the editor assigned to the project abruptly left Pronto. Not to worry, Pronto’s Editor-in-Chief stepped in and helped Shepherd the project to fruition. So here we are. with an 8-page, full-color comic for just $2.50.

Buy one, oh why be shy, buy two and give one to a friend!

Hot Girl & Totally Hot Girl are (almost) here!

Yep, you folks read that right, My long-awaited comicbook, Hot Girl and totally Hot Girl is almost here. Brought to you by the Unbelievable folks at Pronto Comics. My comic is being published as Print on Demand comic over @ Indyplanet. Now I'm totally feeling that this is like the coolest thing that has ever happened to me, and I’m wicked psyched over it.

While the comic itself isn’t posted as of yet, I’ve been assured that it will be posted by the end of the week. and that Pronto will have copies at MoCCA Fest (Saturday, April 28 & Sunday, April 29). I’m hoping to be there one day over the weekend, only at the moment I’m not quite sure which day it will be).

More info to follow.

In the mean time, you can preview the first few pages over at the Pronto Webcomic site.

Hot Girl & Totally Hot Girl

A couple of years ago, I met a pair of very cute young ladies at a comicbook show, and spent an inordinate amount of time (individually) chatting them up. Sometime during the course of the con I hit on the idea of developing a superheroine strip on these two (very lovely) ladies. That story evolved into Hot Girl & Totally Hot Girl I penned an eight-page strip that sat around until I discovered a very talented artist named Roy Cutting, whose work I loved, and I conned him into illustrating the strip.

Roy got a promo page, and a couple of pages of art, before his life threw him a wicked curve ball and he dropped off the face of the Earth. A true professional, he kept in touch with me, and apologized for inadvertently sandbagging me and tried to beg off the project. I wouldn’t let him do it, and told him that I was willing to wait for him to find level ground. Especially as both gals totally approved the art, and Belkis (Hot Girl) approved the story.

Well, Roy finally does have his feet under him again, and is drawing the story. Below are several pages that he’s already produced:









Is this stuff wicked-cool or what?

Hot Girl and Too Much Hot Girl!

This is something of a pet project of mine. I wrote it as kind of a fun thing to do. It combines killing hot (real live) female-type women that I happen to know (and, Lord know why, think I’m hilariously cute, or somesuch), and funnybooks.

I wound up carving a couple of characters out of a webcomic that I’m attempting to get off the ground (I have an artist, but this person has been sitting on my script for several months,and I’m really getting tired of waiting, so if you are an artist, want to illustrate a fun web-based superhero comic strip,and have some animation and/or 3D rendering abilities, post here on my site, let me know your interested, and leave me a link to your work. I’ll get back to you. Seriously.).

Anyway, as I was sayin’.

I took a couple of characters that I developed for this Web comic, and plopped them down into the middle of a fun, irreverent, silly story full of winky bits and just went to town. After penning the eight-page script I discovered the perfect artist. A gent named Roy Cutting that I was introduced to by a friend of mine. Anyway, I’ve conned Roy into drawing the comic for me, and the work he has turned in to me is phenomenal. It may take a while for him to get through it all, but I’m willing to wait (plus, I’m willing to do whatever I can to promote his stuff and keep him motivated).

Anyway, I posted a couple of illos that he did a week or so back, and he recently sent me a new page of pencils that I want to post here as well.

I hope that you all enjoy this as much as do I. If you do, let him know by posting here or drop by his web page and let him know over there.

See you in the funnypapers!
