MAKING LIFE HARD FOR JOHN JETT The Jerry origin is ambitious in its scope, but even pages like this can pose quite a challenge for an artist. All those heads and expressions and a house on fire and a destroyed room and…man, there’s just a lot going on here. And John rises to the occasion [...]

THE ANNOTATED JERRY, PAGE 4 When Dr. Klein first appeared waaaaay back in Chapter 2, a lot of the readers at the time assumed he was evil. A couple of them even suggested that he must be evil because of his German name. I didn’t cop to anything either way at the time, but this [...]

Big, big thanks to artist Chip Skelton for the great work he did on this whacked out character piece. It was a ton of fun just getting Cap, Spy Gal and Dr. Rocket in a room together and watch them go. Hope you guys dug it as well. Next week begins an all-new Origins tale: [...]

Despite the fact that he’s made scant few appearances over the years and that this was his last appearance in the strip proper, Mega Matt has proved an enduringly popular character ’round these parts. Is it his sweet outfit? His constantly broken nose? I dunno. But I don’t think a week goes by that someone [...]

And now you know how Matt got started on his path to greatness and injury. Big, BIG thanks to artist Marjorie Rishel for her fine rendering of some pretty disparate locales. I kind of put her through the wringer with this story. Ever met a dragon? I pretty much have. New blog up at brockheasley.com: [...]

Lots of hints at bigger stories here, but our focus is on the Matt. Artist Marjorie Rishel rolls with it as usual though. I love how even when the Healer is doing good he still looks like a punk. Only two pages left in this origin story! Big, BIG revelations next week. Hey, don’t forget [...]

This page is a story that was hinted at a loooooong time ago. Now that you’ve finally seen, what do you think? Big thanks to artist Marjorie Rishel for the epic rendering of a tough scene. Sometimes, things get in your head and you’ve got to get them out. This week, it was an allegory [...]

Annnnnnnd thus concludes the unexpectedly controversial origin story of Mega Matt. I, for one, really love this last page. My partner in crime, Marjorie Rishel did a fantastic job taking on the 1950s setting and some real-life figures I asked to be put in there. Thanks so much for taking this journey with me, Marjorie!

Welcome to a new SuperFogeys Origin! Until now, this story has been exclusive-to-print so very few of you have ever seen it. Those of you with long memories may recall that when Captain Spectacular and Star Maiden first met, they were almost immediately sucked into a portal to another dimension. A few hours later, they [...]

Big thanks to artist Julio Molina-Muscara for meeting the tricky demands of this script! Longtime SF fans may remember this, but I’ve now posted it [...]

That second panel is one of the greatest things ever. I don’t know what it is. Something about giant monsters sunbathing makes me laugh. It helps that artist Julio Molina-Muscara put so much personality into them. Longtime SF fans may enjoy taking a look at my latest blog that gives an updated look on my [...]

This is the penultimate page in the story of Captain Spectacular and Star Maiden’s trip into the Inevitable Dimension and, as you can see, it’s a pivotal one. Spy Gal who? The whole story was inspired by a similar tale from Action Comics [...]
