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 [...]

If you listened to my recent interview over at the Comics For All! podcast (SUCH a great interview) then you know all about my undying love for Atomic Fly. He and Soviet Sam are the two characters I wish had been there from Chapter 1 that just aren’t. SUPERFOGEYS VOL. 1 SELLS OUT AND ENTERS [...]
