"Adventurers like us are not just adventurers. We are explorers, with science understanding. And I want the kids to understand that. This is no joke; it is no play. But it's fun. A lot of fun." -- Jacques Cousteau, taking about his undersea world, but may have well been talking about Making Comics Better.

Just back from a week in Florida, and there's a lot going on, to catch up with, and to celebrate:
You can see from which parent Walker gets his hair.
+++++
Newly-minted Wildstorm editor Shannon Denton's Aces: Curse of the Red Baron is ably previewed at The Pulse by Jen Contino. Shannon shines my shoes thusly: "Larry Young is a perfect fit for something like this. Larry and I have a lot of the same loves…baseball, astronauts, whisky, etc. so I naturally assumed he’d also like ww1 era adventure tales with the ghost of the Red Baron jetting around and luckily I was right! The experience has been so enjoyable, I’m actually working on another book with AiT now but with co-writer Christopher Long." Go read about the book, which isn't half-bad, either.
+++++
The lads at iFanboy slather some love on The Homeless Channel: "I can’t force you to buy this book – but I will highly recommend it. If you already own it, read it again. I have passed it on to my wife. I’ll be damned if I can get her to read any books, but this one has a sporting chance. Which brings me to my final point about this book; the main character is a female and the writer/creator is a male. Some people are very good at creating well rounded character of the opposite sex. Matt Silady is one of those people. Kudos to that."
+++++
Today is the ninth anniversary of the date you could first walk into a comic store and buy a copy of Astronauts in Trouble: Live From the Moon #1, which is the date we count as the start of the company, even if we were working on the project for a year before that. And, you know, it was published by those titans of industry, Rob and Steve Snell, the powerful third stage of the Saturn V rocket that got us into orbit. Me, I'm spending the day lettering Dugout, Adam Beechen and Manny Bello's creative follow-up to their last team-up on Hench.
In other words, just another day of Making Comics Better...
