I think this is the greatest comic book cover

Of all time. Agree? Disagree? Then what is?!?

By the way, this is my first PL blog post from my phone... It's pretty handy. The photo was also taken and posted from my phone.

Pulp Legacy #1

I finally found my copy of #1. I was surprised to find how many of the original roster have moved on. The only ones left are me, Seth, Tom and Sean Taylor. It's funny to read all the complaining and referencing of the Legends zine, which I now realize, very few of you know what that is! It's been 10 years almost to the month...

Note from Zarko

From the boss:

Alright folks,

We're up to Issue #49 of */Pulp Legacy/*! The deadline for the issue will be *April 28*. That's 4 weeks from now. More than enough time to get a 'zine together. I'd like to get a few more people contributing than when we had for #48. Hey, before you know it we'll be at #50!

Okay, the theme for this issue is *BAD DATES*. Write about a bad date. Feel free to include photos. It could be a date you were on or maybe you heard of a really bad date from a friend or a relative. Doesn't matter. Let's try to put something down. It's funny, a lot of you say "We want themes" but when the issues come out, only a few people do anything related to the theme. I was even thinking of dropping the whole theme thing, but the support for themes was so strong. So stretch your creative muscles and try to put something down regarding the theme.

Also, let's try to hit the deadline, if possible. I don't want to drag it out too long.

Is everyone reading the old issues? Did you get the downloads for the previous PLs? Anyone have any problems? I haven't heard a peep from anyone. Let me know if there are any issues. Once you've read #48, try to include MCs. They don't have to be super long, but any feedback helps us improve as writers and creators. I think Seth's mentioned before that it's the lifeblood of any APA.

That's all for now. I'll bug you as we approach this deadline.

Dick Giordano 1932-2010

Dick Giordano Passes Away

I've been a big fan of Dick's since I started collecting comics. A great guy who always took time to handout free advise and encouragement.

Got my bound comics back!

Wow, they look super!

I got 12 books done total and couldn't be happier with the results. Needless to say I've got a lot of reading to do!

I sent these to a company in Texas named Library Binding Company...each cost a whopping $15! Of course, it took me awhile to create each cover...mostly out of art that I've inked, pencilled or commissioned. Very personalized.
