THE END OF CHAPTER 11, THE DOCTOR AND THE DOCTOR With today’s double-sized strip, Marc takes his art to the next level. I seriously had no idea he was capable of stuff like this when I asked him to hop onboard the SF train. You can imagine how pleased I am. But, honestly, it’s with [...]

This is it! The big 400th strip! 400 freakin’ strips. Can you believe that? And, like other past centennial strips, this one brings in a pretty big reveal! What do you think of Dark Maiden? This also marks Marc’s 100th SuperFogeys strip. Take that in. That’s amazing. Never late, always getting better and better, Marc [...]

New Wallpaper! SuperFogeys 400 – Dark Maiden
by Brock Heasley on April 3rd, 2012The response to yesterday’s big SuperFogeys 400 has been terrific so far. As a thank you to everyone for sticking with us and being so supportive, Marc has crafted a huge wallpaper from the latest strip and it’s a beaut. Click on the image below to enlarge and download it for yourself. Enjoy!
Even the strongest of leaders know to fear the might of the Space Pigs. I’m always impressed how Marc is able to fit so many characters into a panel and still leave me room for the dialogue. It’s a real skill to be able to do that. Most artists don’t have a natural instinct for [...]

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 [...]

I was just looking back at Marc’s first work on SuperFogeys yesterday and it really stuck me not only how far along his line work has come, but also how much his method for coloring has changed. There’s just far more shades and details in his coloring now–things that aren’t even in the drawings themselves. [...]

Today kicks off a short, long overdue flashback showing just what the heck happened to Dark (Star) Maiden after she left Las Vegas. While the 400th strip played out as a fun reveal, I really did see it as a promise of an untold story I’d have to tell one day. Enjoy. Why do you [...]

I was reminded this past week that not everyone shares the encyclopedic knowledge of SuperFogeys I have. That brain in the jar? That really is Star Maiden’s father, she’s not THAT crazy. This flashback is a bit of a sequel to both Star Maiden’s origin and the flashback that showed her trip home. If you’re [...]

Here’s a tip to writers of comics: Wanna go easy on your artist? Script a bunch of head shots. Writing comics is often about balance. I can’t load up the detail and the backgrounds for multiple strips at a time or I’m gonna wear Marc out, so I’ve gotta also write stuff that it’s a [...]

One of the things that’s really hard to achieve in the strip format is any sense of scale. A comic book page gives you that vertical space that really allows you to expand the visuals out that a strip just doesn’t. True, there’s nothing saying we HAVE to do this in strips–that’s a self-imposed restriction–but [...]
