Every time I challenge Marc to give SF some sweep and scope… he comes through in spades. I only wish that first panel were bigger so I could get some of those captions out of the way. This whole flashback sequence is gonna really give Marc a chance to shine. I can’t wait for you [...]
Once again, Marc stuns. That first panel is a keeper, and any excuse I can have to make Marc draw debris breaking apart, I’ll take it. He’s a master. WEBTOON UPDATE The big Dr. Klein/Third Man/Jerry reveal just dropped on Webtoon yesterday. Reaction were both surprising and predictable. These new readers didn’t know what hit [...]
These flashback strips are really such a showcase for Marc’s talent that I feel like anything I have to say just doesn’t matter. I will say that if you know Soviet Sam… then you probably already know how this is gonna go. See you on Wednesday with 775 – Raging Percy!
Behold… the power of Percy. APOLOGIES TO OUR $3+ PATRONS HUGE apologies to our $3+ Patrons. You were supposed to see this strip a day early, as usual, but there was a delay in production that was entirely my fault. Marc, as usual, got the artwork to me on time, but then I completely spaced. [...]
I can’t apologize enough (again!) for this being late. We had to rush Cami to the ER last night (yep, on Easter) and it completely threw me off. She had a seizure–her first in three years. She’s doing fine now, but obviously it was a little scary. In other words… blame me, not Marc, that [...]
I daresay Marc has outdone himself with this one. I think it’s among the very best work he’s ever done, and it’s on a strip I know for a fact was incredibly difficult for him to draw. We’re both fathers to girls and this is a tough one. BRIEF HIATUS We’re in the home stretch [...]
I love it when Marc goes widescreen! So, so cool seeing all these characters in one place. We’ve come a long, long way since those early chapters. AND THE OFFICIAL ARTIST OF THE SUPERFOGEYS ORIGIN IS… T.L. COLLINS! That’s right, after much behind-the-scenes drama and two artists dropping out, I’ve finally secured an artist for [...]
Spy Gal sets us up for what the next chapter is about as Jerry stands unseen nearby. If you’re wondering what he’s thinking… well, the rest of this chapter should prove quite revealing. Time for Jerry to do something he’s never done before and just TALK honestly with someone. Spill his guts. Just WHO he [...]
I must say, it’s so good to be back. This is, admittedly, a bit of a quiet beginning to this more low key chapter. Quiet before the storm, I’m telling you…
Atomic Fly is in the house! And leaving soon with Captain Spectacular. But the really important thing here…the thing you must know…is that on Wednesday we will finally reveal the Secret Origin of The Atomic Fly. That’s right, kids. Christmas comes early this year.
And now it is known…who Atomic Fly is and how he came to be! Sounds legit. Bonus points to anyone who can put together what we’re laying down here. If you know what I mean, then you know what I mean. See you next week!
What do you guys think of Cap’s assessment of Swifty? Spot on…or way off? See you on Monday!
Originally, I was going to draw this chapter myself. I actually did draw the first four strips, but when it came time to do more I realized it just all felt so wrong. I shouldn’t be drawing the SuperFogeys right now, not the way they are now. This is Marc’s territory. This particular strip was [...]
Oh, Space Pig. We rarely hear from you, but when we do, you’ve always got interesting things to say. Anyone notice his new look? I’ve been wanting to get Space Pig in those goggles forever, and now there’s finally an excuse to do it! See you on Monday!
I don’t know about you, but anytime anyone introduces squishiness into my war room, it just makes me mad. See you on Monday!
This episode of Real Talk with Spy Gal brought to you by the usual suspects. See you on Wednesday!
What do you think? Is Cap right? Can anyone be redeemed? On Monday, we hit a big one. 800 strips. And if you think we’re going to celebrate by catching up with Jerry…well, you’re right! But there’s no way you’re prepared for where he is.
There’s a thing happening in this chapter that we just don’t do all that often: decompressed storytelling. Since its widespread mainstream adoption in superhero comics around the turn of the century, I’ve had a bit of a love/hate relationship with decompressed storytelling. On the one hand, you can create more cinematic moments with this style [...]
New looks for President Reed and Star Matron! Couldn’t send them into battle in their civvies, now could we? The new uniforms came together pretty quickly–Marc is a real ace when it comes to character design–but I did have feelings about President Reed’s hat. In Marc’s original design, he was hatless. That didn’t feel quite [...]
This strip is pretty much a Marc showcase. We went Marvel Method on it, but when I saw the final art I thought he’d done such a beautiful job that I didn’t need get into the mix. See you Wednesday with 824 – Knives Out!
Suckface guts! You wanted to see it, and now you have. And yeah, it’s fair to be worried about Ms. Missile. We are no respecter of characters here at SuperFogeys Central. SUPERFOGEYS VOL. 1: INACTION HEROES ON SALE NOW! You kickstarted it a year ago and now it’s available for everyone–the 300 page SuperFogeys Vol. [...]
It’s been hinted at…it’s been talked about…but we’ve never seen the full-on wrath of Percy. Suckface should shut his mouth (he can’t). See you on Wednesday with 828 – Sorry About the Torture!
Another major Marc Lapierre showcase as we come back from our brief hiatus–and one of the best. But, we’re spoiling you even more this week. Double-sized episode next time. See you on Wednesday with 832 – The Power of Percy!
I mean, look at that thing up there. I script “Percy rips a spaceship in half” and Marc is like, “Yeah, gotta go double-sized for that.” And here we are. I tell you, we are lucky to have him. Just remember: this story was going to end with Chapter 10 because (among other things) I [...]
I just watched A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood yesterday, a lovely film about Mr. Rogers and his impact on one skeptical journalist. Feels appropriate with this strip dropping today. What do you do with the mad you feel? Grab your copy of SuperFogeys Vol. 1: Inaction Heroes right here! See you on Wednesday with [...]
We don’t shy away from death in this comic, but this is one instance in which things worked out okay. A harbinger of good things to come? Don’t bet on it. ANOTHER STORY, THIS ONE TRUE I don’t know if I’ve posted about this here, but for the past several months I’ve been releasing a [...]
One of the big themes of The SuperFogeys–and one of the big themes of my life, honestly–is that the failures and the tragedies we suffer and the sins we commit don’t have to result in a negative. They can be for our good, and in really powerful way that supersedes what might have been if [...]
SUPERFOGEYS VOL. 1 OUT WORLDWIDE RIGHT NOW! It happened yesterday, the 300-page graphic novel collecting the first 17 chapters and some bonus stories went out in the world and SOLD OUT immediately. Amazon, Target, Barnes & Noble–it’s gone! But more are on the way and ordering now should get you a copy super soon. WE [...]
This episode just looks cool. The canted angles, the coloring, the little inset of Percy’s eyes… It’s just cool. Great job, Marc. Also, can I please do a SuperFogeys Origins story called The History of Earth-Avalon if only so we can see Starbrighter’s turn from hero and back to villain? His hinted-at familiarity with the [...]
I never get tired of seeing Spy Gal (or, in this case, Avalon Spy Gal) in the white outfit. It just looks so COOL. This is an episode Marc made so much cooler. Originally, I had both Suckfaces kind of grabbing Percy out of the air and throwing him down to the ground, but Marc [...]
Something I’m really excited about is seeing this chapter collected. More than perhaps any other chapter, I wrote it and paced it for the print version. Today’s episode is a prime example of that. It’s especially designed to lead into the next episode and give it maximum impact. May not seem like much in this [...]
For those keeping track of the geography, yes, Avalon Thrice Evil did just sail over about 3,000 miles of terrain and land smack dab in the middle of the Las Vegas battle. In retrospect, this might be a bit too abrupt of a transition. Wouldn’t surprise me if we end up doing an in between [...]
SUPPORT SUPERFOGEYS ON PATREON Jerry with a cape is a gift that just gives and gives. Look at how cool he is now! He’s a true hero. True heroes have capes, right? See you on Thursday with 906 – He Looks Different!
SUPPORT SUPERFOGEYS ON PATREON Dang. Jerry is just a good guy. Bringing it all back to when everything was great again. Gotta love ‘im. See you on Thursday with 914 – Time to Go!
