Ladies, and Gents...Commander X as the Knight Avenger

So some time back I happened across the very talented cartoonist Jay Piscopo and his wonderful all-ages comics, Sea Ghost  and The Undersea Adventures of Capt'n Eli. Both of these comics (published under Jay’s Nemo Publishing) are truly wonderful, fun-filled comics that are throwbacks to the kind of comics I read in my (ill-spent) youth, and I highly recommend them both.

Well, Jay (or rather his lovely assistant Tami) sent me a very cool action figure of another of Jay’s characters. The character is Commander X in his Knight Avenger garb.

The Commander/Knight Avenger action figure is a full-articulated toy, in the same style as the classic Mego figures, complete with a cloth costume. We think that this is very cool and we totally love that Jay is producing action figures based upon his characters.

The Commander X Knight Avenger sells for $19.95, and you  can order it (as well as other items from Jay’s bundle of wicked-cool comics and toys) by heading over to his web site checking out his store and doing just that.

Tell Jay I sent you!

Looking for an All-Ages comicbook?

While there are those that say “All Ages” and really mean something that they've “dumbed down” for kids, there are others, like the very talented comicbook writer, illustrator Jay Piscopo, who has created a throughly unique, and quite entertaining character in his new comic The Sea Ghost #1 (Nemo Publishing Group, $3.99).

Sea Ghost originally appeared in Piscopo’s graphic novel series, Capt'n Eli, and is clearly influenced by Piscopo’s love of Aquaman, and creators like Alex Toth, and Ramona Fradon. The story told in Sea Ghost #1 is sparkling, straightforward, and throughly entertaining, but don’t just take my word for it, head on over to Jay’s site and snag a copy of your own.

Don’t forget to tell him that we sent you!

This just in

Just got a few new packets of some wicked cool stuff from some funnybook folk.

First up, I got a packet from Marvel with comps of my Official Index to the Marvel Universe #9 (for which I’m a contributor).

Then I received a packet from Dynamite Entertainment which contained several of their Green Hornet comics, and a copy of Stan Lee’s new book on creating comics.

Finally I received a package from  Jay Piscopo which contained his nifty new comic Sea Ghost. as well as The Undersea Adventures of Capt'n Eli.

So, even though I’m snowbound today, I have loads of new reading material to keep me occupied.

How cool is that?
