Hi, I just wanted to let everyone know that artist Tony Rubino has a story in the new issue of Red Slime Magazine. Tony and writer Dan Rafter contribute a story called "Halloween in Hero Town" and I’ll think you’ll enjoy it as much as I did.

Tony is my collaborator and co-conspirator on Wildcard. You can still read Chapter One of that superhero story right here.

Space Westerns, a Web site devoted to , has published one of my short stories, "The Lawmen of Dos Diablos."

Two lawmen track down a dangerous criminal. It just so happens that one is a sheriff in Arizona circa 1890, while the other is a policeman from a distant galaxy.

If you like sci-fi with a little western flair, check it out.

Thanks,

My article on the New Mutants comic book series appears in the brand-new issue of Back Issue magazine.

In it, I explore the history of this classic comic book series of the 1980s, from its creation by Chris Claremont and Bob McLeod through the Bill Sienkiewicz era to Claremont leaving the book and Louise Simonson taking over the writing duties to the end, which introduced Rob Liefeld to the X-Men universe.

If you aren’t familiar with Back Issue magazine, it is the definitive source on comics from the 1970s and ’80s. This is my first assignment for them — the first, I hope, of many to come.

You can find Back Issue at almost all comic book shops, as well as online at http://twomorrows.com/

We continue our series of back issue reviews over at Samruby.com by focusing on one of the Web-Slinger’s most sympathetic but deadly foes — the Lizard. The first couple of reviews already are posted and we’ve got more to come, so check ‘em out!

If you’ve been following "Brand New Day" in Amazing Spider-Man, you’ll know that an ancient, petrified stone tablet is at the center of the current storyline.

The original "Ancient Tablet" story on took place back in 1969 in Amazing Spider-Man #68-75. Over at Samruby.com, I am reviewing this story, which many remember as a highlight of the Stan Lee/John Romita era.

Be sure to check out my other Spider-Man back-issure reviews as well!

Over on Samruby.com, we are reviewing Spider-Man’s adventures during the 1970s. Currently, we are examining the Web-Slinger’s earliest encounters with Ka-Zar, the jungle lord of the Savage Land.
