Greetings airmen, another week has just flown by. They seem to really speed up this time of year, as summer weather wanes. The nights get colder and baseball season wraps this coming weekend. What with the Red Sox playing the Yankees in Fenway, for the whole enchillada, who but God could have scripted a more dramatic end to the season. A priest once told me it’s okay to pray for your team. Just keep in mind, good folks are also praying for the other guys.

A few weeks back I posted the primary portion of the awesome picture above. Back then I showed off the works of our penciller Craig Shepard and our inker, Sean Tenhoff. Well, as you can see, there was lots more to the picture than what I chose to reveal. Here it is complete with the book’s menace, one of the Python Men of the Lost City. And a big tip of the hat to colorist Bishop Bowie, who did such a bag up job here. Come on folks, if you saw this on the comic racks in your local shop, wouldn’t you have the urge to pick it up? Am hoping that’s the case. Ha. The project is coming along smoothly with everyone on board delivering some amazing work.

I spent an hour with some kids from the Barrington, NH middle school yesterday afternoon. I’m part of an after school enhancement program and I’m giving them a three week crash course in comic books. Had ten kids, nine boys and one girl, sign up. They were a good bunch and I’m looking forward to seeing them again next week.

My favorite TV show from last season was the Emmy award winning LOST. It kept me glued to the edge of my recliner all season long and I simply couldn’t wait to see it pick up again.
Well, it has and we are already two weeks into season 2 and it still rocks! The show is like an elevated, televised video game. My wise partner, Valerie, made that observation after we’d seen the season’s premier. She says it certainly feels like we’ve all been bumped up to the next level. Top notch writing, great characters and a mysterious setting. What more could you ever want from a TV show.

And finally, this week I have to offer up my sincerest apologies for NOT being at the Wizard World Boston convention, as I’d stated I would be. Circumstances beyond my control negated my
hoped for transportation and so I’ve sadly had to bow out. I do not drive in big cities, and Boston is one of the biggest, and the worst to navigate. Take my word on that one. I am particularly sorry I won’t be able to join the gang from Digital Webbing as they sign copies of
DWP #24. But on an upbeat note, DWP #25 is out and at comic shops across the country. It features the second MASK OF THE GARGOLYE story by yours truly and art by the gifted Dario Carrasco. I hope you’ll pick it up. As for you
folks hoping to see me in Boston, again, sorry.
I will be in Nashua, Halloween weekend, and that you can take to the bank.

That’s it for another go round. Tare care and have a great week. Ron, over and out.
