Fan Art: 8-bit Captain Spectacular by Tyler Heasley!
by Brock Heasley on September 8th, 2011Big thanks to my brother Tyler Heasley for this latest fan art! It made me laugh and brought me right back to the 6th Grade and playing The Legend of Zelda for hours on end. I’d love to see more Fogeys in this style!
This week marks the fifth anniversary of the creation of the SuperFogeys. Can you believe that? Why, it seems like only yesterday… wait, not it doesn’t. It’s been a long freakin’ time and I can feel it in my bones. To celebrate, I drew up the above image (and inked and colored it meself) to [...]

Steve had the unenviable task of recapping a chapter that isn’t even finished yet, but his take on how it could end is wonderfully dark and cynical–and all the funnier for it.

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 [...]

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 [...]

Monsters! I love good monster designs. Big thanks to artist Julio Molina-Muscara for seeing Cap and Star through this transition to their ripped and muddied up new selves! Is it just me or has anyone seen multiple people in their lives date the same person for a really long time, break up with that person, [...]

Strips like this are always a little difficult. There’s a lot going on in that last panel, but if you’re a new reader you’d really have no idea what any of it is. And there’s no way to communicate it to you succinctly. The perils of longform, story driven webcomics. I wouldn’t have it any [...]

Annnnnnd… WE’RE BACK! Did you miss us? Sorry for the brief hiatus, but it was necessary, believe me. Not like we’re making serious bank from this SuperFogeys endeavor (though I’m open to a change there) and a break now and again feels right to keep the fires stoked properly. Comic-Con and my 12th Anniversary felt [...]

Sorry for the two week break, but now SuperFogeys Origins is back! 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 [...]

And that’s a wrap for Captain Spectacular and Star Maiden’s journey in the Inevitable Dimension. Now you know how they fell in love and how Cap could break Spy Gal’s heart so terribly when they returned to Earth all those years ago. Big, HUGE thanks to artist Julio Molina-Muscara and colorist MAD Conk for helping [...]

Welcome to SuperFogeys Babies–the most ill-advised SuperFogeys Origins story yet! I know, I know. In the history of hacky ideas, is there one worse than doing baby versions of your characters? Probably not, but why let that stop us? I can only promise this: it’s gonna be FUN. My cohorts this time out are artist [...]
