Look for me on the Web!

As some of you already know I've been writing professionally for several years. The thing is that while I have long been attributing the start of my professional writing career to the publication of Amazing Heroes #5 in 1981, the truth of the matter is that for three years prior to that article saw print I was working as a radio ad copywriter for a a few different radio stations in and around CT. Needless to say, I've actually been writing for 45 (not 42) years.

While the addition of a mere three years may not seem to mean a great deal, it actually alters our own personal perception of our understanding of our own legacy as a writer. And frankly, that's kind of a very cool thing for us. 

Needless to say, while the bulk of our writing has appeared in print (and a small segment was broadcast over the airwaves) over the past couple of years an even smaller (though growing) portion of our writing has appeared exclusively on the web. 


Thus, it is with this understanding, we have decided to gather in one place, a series of links where we can post those links so that anyone interested, and see and access them. Hence, in no particular order, here they are:

This first link is for a print publication called Government Technology where I (in my role as Deputy Registrar of Voters in my hometown of Norwalk, CT) wrote about how we utilized technology in our local elections.

This next piece I wrote while I was living in Richmond, VA, and it was written for RVA Magazine



This first article  for Bleeding Cool where I reviewed Sean Howe's book, The Untold Story of Marvel Comics, The second one was a reprinting of an article I had written years earlier, while the third was to promote a then upcoming series.


Alternate Theories Add To The Secret History of Marvel Comics

Death of a Hero

Chasing Gods With Eddie Nunez And Stephen Lapin


This next article was written with my long-time collaborator, John A. Wilcox for Relix Magazine, and it was when we interviewed Frank Zappa for the 2nd tie (and he called us "The Wacky Guys").

Frank Zappa Meets The PMRC


All of these were articles I wrote, a second posting will be about a series of short fiction stories I penned over the past couple of years that are currently being hosted on a number of online sites.

Spider-Boy, Spider-Boy, does what ever a Spider-can...or something like that

Yep, that’s right, if you stopped by your favorite comicbook shop yesterday you might have seen a very special issue of the Amazing Spider-Man #666. Marvel comics produced a very number of special, limited-edition covers for comic shops around the country. The owner of the shop I go to (Heroes Comics & Cards in Norwalk, CT), put not only the front of his store, but his 5-yr-old son on the cover.


NORWALK -- Ask 5-year-old Ben Kruseski who his favorite superhero is and he presses two little fingers into each tiny palm and thrusts his arms forward. 
"Spider-Man!" he exclaims, imitating the costumed crime fighter with arachnid strength. 
Ben and Spidey share more in common than their web-slinging superpowers -- they both appear on the cover of "The Amazing Spider-Man" issue 666. 
But unlike the masked guardian of New York City, Ben was willing to reveal his true identity Wednesday to sign autographs at his father's comic book shop on Westport Avenue. 
Seriously, how cool is that?

The shop had to purchase a specific number of copies of the issue in question, something that Heroes’ owner, Dave Kruseski was all to happy to do.
"Spider-Man has always been my favorite superhero, so I couldn't pass up the opportunity to put my son on the cover," said Kruseski, a lifelong Norwalk resident.
