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 [...]

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 [...]

I always think of this story as one of the more complicated, stranger stories I’ve written. I’m really interested to know what you guys think of it as it unfolds. 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 [...]

The whole story was inspired by a similar tale from Action Comics [...]
