SOVIET SAM and T.L. COLLINS Welcome back, T.L. Collins! More than any other artist, T.L. defines what a SuperFogeys Origin should look like. We haven’t seen him grace these “pages” since 2009, but he comes back in a big way with this 8-page Soviet Sam story. Sam is a character we’ve only glimpsed briefly in the [...]

T.L. COLLINS BUSTS OUT THE BRILLIANCE I love this page. I think it’s a bit of risk, storytelling wise, but I think it works and T.L. just brought his A game to the page. Be sure and check out the fantastic work he’s doing on his own webcomic, Bullfinch. BACK IN FIGHTING SHAPE I spent the [...]

THE TROUBLE WITH SOVIET SAM PAGE 3 So…you may have noticed that this page is missing some colors and some elements of the panels seem out of whack. T.L. and I regret bringing the page to you this way, but we figured this was better than no page at all. The sad truth is that T.L. [...]

HE’S NAKED! Ten points to whoever can remember the first time we saw a naked Captain Spectacular. Better provide a link if you wanna prove your superior intellect! Give it up to T.L. Collins for rendering this in fine fashion. I could look at his Soviet Sam all day. Having Captain Spectacular in there too [...]

DR. ROCKET, THAT’S ONE TO GROW ON As you can all tell by now, this Soviet Sam story is serving multiple functions, the least of which (no, really, the LEAST) is to enlighten some SF moments past. This page in particular is important to me because, looking back, the Dr. Rocket circa Chapter 3 didn’t get [...]

THIS DEPRESSING MOMENT IN THE LIFE OF SOVIET SAM BROUGHT TO YOU BY… T.L. Collins! Blame him if the rest of your day is a bummer because of this. He was the one who wanted to do a Soviet Sam story. (But seriously, how perfectly is he nailing the emotion of these scenes? Just great [...]

SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT: T.L. COLLINS ENDS HIS RUN ON SUPERFOGEYS ORIGINS I knew this day was coming, but I was hoping to put it off as long as possible. T.L. was the artist that made SuperFogeys Origins possible. The first to say yes and the only one to take it on as a regular gig. Without [...]
