Recently friends of Val and the Air Chief were hoping to visit Denver and attended the Andrea Bocelli concert appearance at the Ball Arena. Sadly, there was a conflict in their schedules after they’d purchased the tickets which were non-refundable. Aware that we are Colorado citizens, they called and offered us the tickets. The chance to spend an evening listening to one of the greatest singers of our time was something we were not about to pass up, Loyal Airmen.
For almost two and a half hours, Bocelli, and his troop of singers and dancers entertained a crowd of thousands, including Val and the Air Chief. Before the show got underway, a friendly stranger offered to snap the picture of us in front of the stage. It turned out great, save for the fact the digital show going on the background bathed the entire arena in a blue light. Ha. When seeing it Val, cringed. Hey, a minor annoyance compared to the sheer joy of listening to one of the most beautiful voices God has ever graced our world with. Mr. Bocelli is a treasure, a gifted man of faith he loves sharing that gift with the rest of us. It was a night we will never ever forget.
THE CRIMSON NUN 2 NEARS FINISH
Don’t look now, Loyal Airmen, but it looks like The Crimson Nun Issue # 2 is getting closer and closer to be all wrapped up. Super artist Jesse Thomas has pretty much finished drawing all 23 pgs. What is left is for him to color them, and then ship them off to artist Mike Belcher for lettering. Once that’s done, it’s off to Ben Dunn and Antarctic Press. Keep those fingers crossed. This one was worth the wait. Oh, yeah.
JIN & TONIK # 2
Meanwhile over in Japan, things are happening in JIN & TONIK Issue # 2 by the incredibly gifted Cesar Feliciano. Each new page has us smiling from ear to ear. Hopefully we’ll soon see a new colored page from Matt Webb as well.
CAN YOU FIND THE BROTHER BONES COVER?
Above is a panel from a new Bun Dunn comic from Antarctic Press. Not the first time Ben had done this little fun gimmick. He’s hero is in a comic shop, so Ben goes to Facebook and invites comic creators to send him the covers to their comics to slap on the wall of this make believe comic book shop. The Air Chief wasted no time sending him our cover to the one and only (to date) Brother Bones comic. It’s # 5 from the left on the top row. Thanks Ben, these kind of things are always fun and support the entire independent comic community.
SPEAKING OF THE UNDEAD AVENGER
Speaking of Brother Bones, here’s a peek at a few more panels from Rob Davis’ short Bones tale which will be featured as a bonus back-up to the first issue of the new comic series coming very, very soon now.
BEYOND THE STARS # 5
And leave us not forget BEYOND THE STARS # 5 is getting closer and closer to the end of it’s adventure. As indicated by the two pages above (18 to left penciled and inked – 19 to right pencils). Artist Andrea only has three more pages after these and we hand it over to Silverline Comics. Being the fifth of a six issue mini-series, you can see, Loyal Airmen, why we are getting excited. Only one final issue to go!!!
And there you have it, Loyal Airmen, this week’s Flight Log. As you can see, lots of great things happening. Thanks ever for stopping by and hope to see you all back here next Friday morning, nice and early. Ron – Over & Out!
