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!
Marc reminds me with this strip how much fun it is to get out of Valhalla. He rendered the snot out of that alleyway! Those with eyes attuned will recognize the boy’s shirt for what it is. Did you see it? Did you see The Avengers? I saw it at the end of a 6 [...]

So now you know. Space Monkeys. They’re horrible. There’s been some discussion about what, if anything, makes Captain Spectacular weak. There’s even been some hints here and there and some of you have guessed, but I figured it was time to make it plain. Then I deleted the relevant dialogue from this strip. What remains [...]

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 [...]

The Crimson Spelunker has been mostly a background character, but he’s a great design and I always look forward to finding new opportunities to use him. Marc designed a terrific vehicle for him with that driller. Some of you had some questions about Jerry’s escape in the previous strip and the nature of his powers. [...]

I love the detail of the action here. When all read together, the “silent action” of the past few strips will hold up pretty well. Marc’s spatial awareness as an artist is top notch, allowing him to craft some truly terrific fight scenes. Trust me, only gets better from here. 10th ANNIVERSARY OVER! And hey, [...]
