It's Still Halloween @ Main Enterprises!

Yes it is boys and girls, if you are already missing the spooktacular month of shocktober then you can extend it for as long as you like with the special Annual Halloween edition of *PPFSZT! form my good buddy “Grim” Jim Main’s Main Enterprises line of comics. Jim has just released issue #39 of *PPFSZT! which is (as previously stated) his annual Halloween issue.

This terrifyingly entertaining issue contains several most-excellent Halloween-themed stories and illustrations — including the very-excellent The Four Horsemen from Des Langford and Simon Mackie; the very funny Pokadot Demon by Rick Limacher; as well as regular features like Brien Wayne Powell's Magnet Man, RIP (Michael Anthony Carroll), Mr. Bruelle Explains it All (Robert Waldo Bruelle, Jr.), and Bill the Cockroach (Henry Gustavson).

Oh yeah, there are are also two (count ’em TWO) short stories written by yours truly Zombies of the Apocalypse (illustrated by Marshall Loveless and lettered by Mindy Lopkin), and The Tunguska Event (illustrated by John Lambert). The first tale of mine is sort of a gruesome  fun post-Apocalyptic zombie tale while the second is a story I had originally written to be the prequel to a Indie film that simply never came together. With a few minor edits, it is still publishable, and Big Jim agreed to do publish it.

The story concerns the Tunguska area of Siberia in Russia, where at 7:17 A.M. on the morning of June 30, 1908, a mysterious explosion occurred in the skies over Siberia that flattened trees and completely devastated the area. This event has never been fully explained. I am offering up my story as one possible explanation of this mysterious and frightening event.

So if you are in the mood for some very good stories, then you’ll want to reach out to Jim and buy up all of his copies. Jim can be reached at jmain44@aol.com. I’m strongly suggesting that you do precisely that and then tell all of your friends to buy multiple copies as well.

Then if you like what you see, you should check out the rest of Jim’s line of comics, as we are entirely sure that you will be thoroughly thrilled and entertained by what you read there.

Oh, and don’t forget to tell him that Bob S. Sent you (you won’t get anything extra, but it will make him happy that there are folk out there promoting his very fine comics, and publications.

OK, now it is back into the mix for us, as we have more scripts to write (some of them even for Mr. Main)!

Face it Tigers, we’ve just hit the jackpot!

Apparently this is a real photo.

As far as I'm told, this is an actual photo, not Photoshop.

The Perfessor

Window Washer Spidey

Iron Man 3 Trailer

I realize that this has been already posted every else already, but I figure that I’d join in the fun anyway...



Wow, this totally looks cool, eh?

Grooming Spidey Style

OK, so we went out to the grocery store today, and well, we found the coolest shelf full of Spidey-related merchandise (very nearly bought these items then and there, but a small semblance of sanity crept in and I realized that I’d have to wait until next pay day to amuse myself.

Still I did snap off a few pics and thought I’d share ‘em with you fine folk!

OK, what we have here is Pull-ups

A bath kit (Shampoo, hair gel, body wash)

Wicked Spider-Cool, eh?

Hanging with Ray Felix

Perhaps one of the coolest things about going to comic book shows (like NY Comic Con) is getting to hang with good friends, including people like Ray Felix from Bronx Heroes. Which is precisely what I did while I was at NYCC, and I’m glad that I did, because it was there that I met Trevor Von Eeden. Trevor is doing work for Ray’s Bronx Heroes Comics and spent quite a bit of time at Ray’s booth. It was there — while visiting with Ray — that I was introduced to and got to chat with Trevor.

I even purchased a copy of the first volume of Trevor’s book, The Original Johnson. The graphic novel is Von Eeden’s personal and heartfelt biography of Jack Johnson, the first African-American heavyweight champion of the world, international celebrity, and the most controversial American of his time. This is an amazing artistic achievement of Trevor’s long and storied career (Trevor has worked on Batman, Black Canary, Black Lightning, Green Arrow, and many other characters), more than four years in the making and worth every moment (Look for my review soon to follow).

Anyway, here are some Pics from the con, including several of Trevor.

First up, Spider-Man stopped by.

Trevor & Catwoman

Trevor and the gang @ Bronx Heroes.

Mr. Trevor Von Eeden

Even Solomon Grundy stopped by.

For those of you who don't know Ray, he is an industrious guy. Never quite satisfied to do just one thing, he is now packaging his own line of soda. No, really, check it out!

Unable to resist, I purchased one myself, I even got mine autographed!

Seriously, Droogs, who’s cooler than Ray?
