New public pinned post over at Patreon, figured I'd pin it here too. Here's some links:

A drawing of a bearded man holding a brushpen surrounded by wacky characters. On the left is a woman with a wolf's head headdress holding a little woodland creature, then there's a Bride of Frankenstein, then a Frankenstein that looks like the man, then a skeleton on fire in a hoodi holding a cup of coffee with a ghost of steam rising out of it, then a werewolf holding up his hand in a hail satan hand sign.

I don't think we've had a new DAN DARE series in a while. We really ought to get on that — a MASTER AND COMMANDER meets MOBILE SUIT GUNDAM type joint maybe, could be a vibe

Dan Dare, Pilot of the Future, cuts through space in his ship, The Anastasia.

Hey, ANYTHING that reduces juvenile screen time is a plus in my book. I can tell you I'm currently actively working to make a collection happen, and public requests like this genuinely do help. Stay tuned.

A few panels from a 2024 FLASH GORDON strip I wrote and drew. The titular Flash, a handsome all-American hero, is in the process of escaping from an alien prison. He extends a hand to Bok, a member of a blue, gargoyle-like species known as the Dragonmen.

BOK: There's... there's nothing for me up there. Not anymore.

FLASH: Yeah? Is that you talking?
Or Ming?

The question settles on Bok. He finds something brave within himself and clasps Flash's hand.

BOK: Can you even lift me?

FLASH: Let's find out.

This also applies to the cowardice and complicity of corporate media, entertainment, and publishing.

(Panel from my adaptation of LIES MY TEACHER TOLD ME. Get it & other books while it’s still legal to do so. Do you think that’s a joke?)
