Fighting Crime In Retro Time!

Does anybody remember when comic books were fun? Apparently I'm not the only one, because Mike Imboden & Ed Dukeshire certainly do and it shows in Digital Webbing Presents #24 (The cover on your left is one of two covers & I was a little upset when I recieved the alternate version!). Mike & Ed created the perfect retro hero with the Fist of Justice in a story called "I Think, Therefore..." and it was everything comics today can't seem to capture. There are, of course, other exceptions, such as Tom Scioli's currently-in-limbo The Myth of 8-Opus and my good buddy Nik's Rocket Girl, but FoJ's "I Think, Therefore..." just left me begging for more.

I had the pleasure of meeting both Mike & Ed at last year's Mid-Ohio con, quite unintentionally and I doubt they remember me, but I was informed that they are hard at work prepairing an upcoming miniseries continuing the adventures of this great retro hero.

After Things Fell Apart

They say you can't judge a book by its cover, but you can sure as hell buy a book for its cover. Such was the case for "After Things Fell Apart," written by Ron Goulart, who was the ghost writer for a lot of Shatner's stuff.

I couldn't pass this baby up when I saw it today at my local used book store (yes, there's more to buy in La Porte than candy cigarettes after all) and just had to share it.
