13 Frightening Fiends for the Full Moon Silver bullets, stagecoaches, train robberies and tin stars. We’re all familiar with the rustic trappings of the Western. But what separates cowboy fiction from a badass weird Western? Having menacing monsters to fight, that’s what. When Steve Ellis and I conceived of High Moon, we drew upon the most terrifyingly bizarre creatures we could think of from folklore.

On Superheroes ...

People often ask me why we still need superheroes. Well, maybe when the authorities stop murdering black people in the streets, we won't.

The 19th Amendment was ratified 96 years ago, on Aug. 18, 1920. This is the copy of the original document that gave women the right to vote in the United States.

As a child, I was awed by the Superfriends -- they lives they saved, the disasters they stopped, and the lessons they taught. DC's heroes were an indelible part of my childhood. As I grew up, my cartoon heroes became the subject of ridicule ("who wears underwear on the outside of their clothes?" they'd taunt) but I never stopped believing. Cynicism is easy, but idealism -- and faith -- in the face of adversity -- that's the hero's path. In the wake of the cowardly attack on Brussels, I choose to believe in the best of humanity. I believe we can come together to make the world a better, safer, stronger place for one another.

I believe that hope makes heroes of us all.

On io9, I talk very, very candidly about my health and how it's affected The Only Living Boy. I hope you will take the opportunity to read the story behind my story.

Indie Monday: The Only Living Boy

This is a comic about a young boy joining forces with a mermaid warrior and an insect princess to free the world from an evil space lord … and yet, it manages to be one of the most feel plotted and well grounded comics I’ve seen on Taptastic thus far. It’s just good, really good, surprisingly good and well worth reading. Strongest Recommend. (The Only Living Boy)

To be fair, I always ask if I qualify for the ‘handsome person’ discount ... but this time it actually worked. Also, bravo for great customer service.
