Greetings Loyal Airmen, well last Sat. the Air Chief was on hand at Gryphon’s Game & Comics for Free Comic Book Day and from the time they opened the doors to closing, they were jammed packed with comic fans.  Well over 2,000 local comic fans showed up at the show.  We sold tons of comics and pulps and had a great time meeting all these great people.

One of our many pals on hand was artist Jeff Herndon, seen here at his table.  If you look at the cool painting behind Jeff you’ll see the next cover to the comic horror anthology WICKED AWESOME TALES # 4 produced by our writing pal, Todd Jones. It features the Frankenstein Monster fighting a Steampunk Robot and is based on our story, “Monster vs Machine” that appears in the comic with art by Erik Roman.  It already appeared in Ron Fortier’s Tales of the Macabre issue # 5 and we let them use it for this comic.

Here’s a closer look at this great art piece.  Jeff is truly an amazing artist.

On another fun front, Valerie and the Air Chief finally got down to the local cinema to see AVENGERS – AGE OF ULTRON and both of us loved it.  Obviously the Air Chief was in prime geek-mode throughout and think the film, as the first in the series, was just the perfect balance of action, drama and humor.  Marvel Studios once again proves they know how to do comic book movies.  One only wishes DC would pay attention, instead of always make dark, somber epics which in the end are really not that much fun at all. Sigh.

Happily the Air Chief doesn’t get sick often.  So earlier this week, when we work up with a stuffy head cold, we immediately taking steps to make its duration a short one.  Over the counter fever reducers and pain fighters for sore, achy muscles. And of course the good wishes of all our friends over on FB.  48 hrs later, we are feeling ten times better and looks like we actually did nip this old cold in the bud.  We do so hate being sick.  Besides, we can’t afford to be laid up, we’ve got tons of new comic and pulp works in progress.  Got to stay on top of things.

And that’s it for this week’s Flight Log, Loyal Airmen.  Thanks always for stopping by.

Ron – Over & Out!
