I gotta say… I did not expect this chapter to be this long. 44 strips. That ranks it among the very longest of chapters. I think in that you can see the scope of this Invasion storyline. Everything you’ve seen so far… everything in Part One… it’s all been setup for what’s to come. I [...]

Marc just keeps it coming! Here’s the latest young version of an old hero you’ll be seeing in Chapter 15 – Atomic Fly! Atomic Fly was just your normal, everyday, average trapeze artist/law student when he was bitten by a radioactive fly. That didn’t do much besides make him sick for a month, but during [...]
Welcome to Chapter 15; Invasion, Part Two – Inaction Heroes No More! This chapter will see the Fogeys begin to embrace a different-or rather, old–way of life as they must step up to defend the Earth from the alien invasion after the Society of Heroes was killed. You’re gonna see some moments you’ve all been [...]

Today’s strip is a tour de force and the result of a lot of hard work on Marc’s part. New characters are always a risky move because they take time away from the characters you love, but I think it’s important to establish that Valhalla is a lot bigger than we’re used to seeing. I [...]

Marc knocked me out with the last panel. I’m guessing some of you as well. He’s got a new method for creating the art now, though it’s impossible for any of you to have noticed. Now, instead of roughing things out in blue pencil first, he’s doing his roughs digitally. This allows him to size [...]

I gotta admit I struggled with this one. Remember, Marc and I are doing the end of this chapter Stan and Jack style–he’s drawing from a basic plot, and I’m adding in the dialogue after the fact. It’s definitely fun, but also stressful. I don’t want to take anything away from Marc’s great illustrations. I [...]

More silent panels. Satisfying? No? Refer to my notes in the previous strip for why we’re doing this. The meat of this chapter is coming, and soon. Gotta get through these appetizers first and set everything up. All that said…that’s some beautiful artwork by Marc, no? See you on Monday with 807 – Space Pig [...]

Don’t mess with Space Pig. Seriously. A big part of what I enjoy about the early part of this chapter is getting Cap and Swifty on a mission together, especially at this point in the story. Swifty has a long history of giving Cap a hard time, but not this more humbled version. And I [...]

Ahhh…the famous Jerry Cradle. Infamous? It has, admittedly, been a long time since we’ve seen it in use. You’d have to go all the way back to the origin of the Society of Heroes to see that! I don’t know about all of you, but I have yet to get sick of Atomic Fly. I [...]

Swifty running on water across the National Mall gives me such joy, but Atomic Fly always makes me laugh. He’s a character that’s a true collaboration between Marc and myself, created very much after I gave up art duties. He makes me smile. See you on Wednesday with 820 – Heart-Stopping Great Looks!

That…that Avalon Thrice Evil statue is a thing of beauty. I might weep. It occurs to me that we haven’t seen a lot of Cap and Swifty interacting in this series. These two have a long history, and Swifty isn’t really the kind of guy to let Cap forget who he used to be, despite [...]

Happy New Year, everybody! It’s good to be back. I think it’s fair to say both Marc and I hate taking hiatuses, but they are necessary to keep this going and keep the quality where it needs to be. How has everybody been? Christmas treat you well? Didn’t run into any Avalonian frogs, did you? [...]

I could do a whole spin-off series just with Atomic Fly. I really could. BRIEF HIATUS This is an artistically demanding chapter, no doubt about that. Marc is at the top of his game right now (seriously, this is the best-looking art he’s ever turned in for SF–maybe his best, period!) and as such we’ve [...]

I always love it when Marc finds the opportunity to go wide. Originally, there were four panels for this strip, but he saw how easily the first three could be combined into one, and of course it works so much better. Get your copy of SuperFogeys Vol. 1 right now at a discounted price before [...]
