Come out to Richard’s Comics and Collectables for the first ever Superhero Swap and Shop.
November 13 from 12 until 5

The event where comic readers and collectors can swap and shop directly with comic fans just like you!

“It’s a great place for those new to the hobby to jump in feet first at a reasonable price with the assistance of local hobbyists. Come celebrate the joy of reading and collecting comics at a fun family friendly event for the young & young at heart! Local writers and artists will be there also.”

You still have time to sign-up for some monsters in your mailbox. Be one of the first to get each episode of the story as it unfolds all October. Don’t worry I’ll get you up to speed with what you’ve missed.

The Werewolf Feeds Tonight

Waldo hates to eat and run but when the full moon is out, it’s like he’s a different person inside. Wait, there usually is a different person inside him after he eats and runs. But just the tasty parts .

Your Time Is Up

Gleeble Sourg lives in the part of the forest where things go to die. He helps them pass on to the other side. So be warned that once you see Gleeble Sourg your time here on earth is done.

How do I know what he looks like? Well you can all thank Jeb for describing him to me. Jeb was recently killed in the woods by a werewolf. You may have heard about it. Anyway, some how he got away from old Gleeble Sourg and now he’s trapped here on earth as a ghost.

Jeb be gone.

Jeb experienced a recent half dispatching from our plane of existence. I say half in reference to him being stuck between here and there after getting away from Gleeble. Jeb wanted to take care of some stuff before he leaves.

Bully the bully twins

He might also try to take care of that werewolf that did the dispatching. So if you know who Jeb’s killer is, he’d like to hear about it.

These ads ran in the Dollar Bin anthology from a couple years ago. Can you guess which is my favorite of the series?

I’d be more than happy to modify one of these ads to be used for a specific comic shop. Contact me and we can talk about it.

Sometimes I start a mini-comic and it gets abandoned. Whatever the reason I’ve got folders with half started comics some of them with sketches, scripts and character designs. This one features fan favorite Orson Spinwell and Greg. It was in a file called Magic Ring and had no script. Just this panel.

I have no clue what the story was going to be. But sometimes I’ll come up with the name of a mini-comic before I even write it. Because a new document or folder needs a name. The name doesn’t always stick but it usually gives me a loose direction in which to write. I wonder how many other creative works started because the file had to have  a name? I should probably finish this one.

I missed out on snagging some of the Marvel toys that were recently at McDonalds. They weren’t anything spectacular but I’ve always tried to get at least a few comic book related toys at restaurants.

I was given the heads up that Batman Brave and the Bold was at McDonalds now. I couldn’t think of who they might make for it and my ultra-fast image search didn’t even show the second wave of characters. My mom informed me that they had some stretchy guy at McDonalds with Batman. PLASTICMAN in a happy meal?! I immediately set up a dinner date with Ronald and I was off.

The probability of getting the Happy Meal toy you want the first time you try is pretty low. A part of you wants it not to be in there the first time you go so you can get one of the others you sort of want. You prepare for disappointment. Which is what I did and is what I got when a pulled a Black Manta ship from the box. I have no clue why they wouldn’t have made a Black Manta figure instead of his ship! Man I probably would have traded a Biker Scout for a Black Manta figure when I was a kid. Anyway while I was faking enjoyment of the new toy and scarfing down salty fries my sweat heart Wifey sneaks to the counter and asks if they have a Plastic Man.

For whatever reason I can never ask for a certain toy in the happy meal. I feel like a total jerk for asking them to look and see if they have the little red guy with the bendy arms. Or the ship that’s shaped like a gray turtle, black dragon, orange rock guy or whatever it is that I’m looking for. Because of course they would have no clue what the heck it is they are pulling out of the giant box this week. But my wife has a secret handshake or code speak or something and always gets what she wants there. Never fails.
