Day of His Return A Steve Ditko Christmas Story

Day of His Return A Steve Ditko Christmas Story

Sad as it’s gonna sound. I’ve been working on this Christmas story, about a kid that wants to kick Ol’ Saint Nicks ass for putting him on the naughty list. For a few months now. My hope was to get it done a few days before the big day. That would have been today. But, I’ve been hit by the Sad Panda, Christmas Blues and doesn’t look like I will have a readable copy ready.

However, I have a…

Content I need it

Content I need it

Being good at anything comes down to these four simple words. KEEP IT SIMPLE, STUPID.

One of my grade school teacher a very long time ago. Told me those four words. I was doing something stupid. Back in them, days smartass kids like me got a bitch-slap to the back of the head. Followed by stop being stupid, DeBerry. It was my favorite class; marine tech. It was so much fun. I made a fiberglass…

(Script) Don't Drink Hulk's Soda

(Script) Don’t Drink Hulk’s Soda

I don’t get to write comicbook scripts as much as I would like. In my more ambitious younger naive years I would search the internet for interesting images and write a story around that image. When the enormously talented Joe Badon shared an image of a dismembered Deadpool. I had to know what the fuck happened to my favorite Merc With a Mouth. 

(The image in question can be found at link above…

(Song) Won't You

(Song) Won’t You

Occasionally I am struck with a sentence. The sentence so strong that it keeps me awake. Sometimes that sentence becomes a story others times it’s a song. This is that time. 

There is no better time than now without you. 

The song I think would be a nice country rock song. 

I am sure you will make this song about you AH HUH won’t you AH HUH I am stuck in a memory that wants to kill me AH HUH Won…

Closure. We all need some.

CLOSURE By PB DeBerry with Joseph Simmons

Nate Waldo, he’d made it to his mid-sixties. Somehow he’d made it through all of the miserable years, gotten through it. Gotten through the pain that had brought him to that dark room. He stood in the dark watching the man in the chair. Waldo’s life had been miserable for a long time. That day, though, that way was the greatest day of his miserable life.

ALL OR NOTHING #KICKSTARTER COMING SOON WITH FOUL HUMOR, FOUL LANGUAGE AND FOUL WOMAN. READ AN EXCERPT IN THE LINK.

I’ve written a book with Joseph Simmons (Yes!! That Joesph Simmons.) It’s all very exciting to me.

I will be launching an all or nothing Kickstarter for the book at the end of June. The Kickstarter will be a bare-bones campaign to fund the cost of printing and a slick looking cover. That will be created by Mister Simmons.

Rewards for pledging will look something like this….a live audio reading,…

HATEFUL

HATEFUL is the beginning few words to my #nanowrimo

Here we are, your guts hanging out like a slaughtered pig. You were trying to be some sorta hero and instead now you’re just gonna be another dead asshole. For what? To save some fucking girl. Hey, I get it we haven’t had piece of ass in, – what year is it? – a long mother fucking time. Now you’re bleeding out and the girl you were trying to save is ironically saving you.

The Fat Man And Norman

@mydumbopinion73 loved The Fat Man and Norman the way kevin spacey loves little boys

The fat man with the epic beard was a little startled that little Norman was able to sneak up on him. He prided himself on being aware of his surroundings and the fact this creepy little turd was able to do what the fat man felt impossible unnerved him.

“Ho Ho where did you come from?” He asked.

Little Norman just shrugged with a I don’t know.

The fat man decided to ignore Norman for now and…

[SCRIPT IN-PROGRESS] INSERT CLEVER TITLE HERE ABOUT NAZI SMASHING

Here is a bit of the script to a plot that Mister Simmons came up with… it might be something about everyone favorite subject smashing Nazi. It still needs a title and a fleshed out middle and ending.

Full page. We start in DC or outside DC… farm country. Night. Cloudy. Maybe raining or was raining. We open on a car driving along an old country road. The car is moving fast. The car is a new soft…

I love blurbs or how MOTHERFUCKING SPACE GOAT will piss you off

I’ve done these before. Posted back cover book blurbs. You probably weren’t paying attention. But, I have. They are fun to write. I dig them. This little bad boy here is groovy! 

MOTHERFUCKING SPACE GOAT is the story of Fancy Dan, a finely dressed, grey alien, that got tired of the nine to five bullshit of cow abductions, and probing. Fancy, wanted a little more, and more is what he got when, he…

I want to start with some cartoons… watched Rebels, haven’t been much of a fan of the show, still not, but needed to watch Obi Wan/Maul #2 it was a short fight as I figured it would and I loved the episode, it makes me interested in how they deal (hopefully kill) Ezra.

Holy Grail of How to Comicbook Script

I am just going to post these here and just add a couple things. Just remember. A panel is a single moment in time and a full page is normally just a few minutes. Keep your dialogue count down to around 140 words a page. Keep to these simple rules and you will be comicbook scripting.

From Stan Lee….
