In 1976 Godzilla attacked America. Sort of. He was later just shown to be wandering through the countryside, causing accidental damage while battling monsters, villains and various superheroes. A misunderstood monster, if you will. Fortunately writer Doug Moench gave him a personality, or, as Damon Foster used to say, a monsterality. Thus he was more than an mere animal, which makes for a far more compelling character to be the star of a comic book series. This picture never actually appeared in a story, but I am glad they included it in the introduction note from the late Archie Goodwin.

Astro Boy 32 Dinosaur Dilemna
Professor Al Chemy figures out a way to bring dinosaurs back to life. These are supposed to be gentle thoughtful dinosaurs. Naturally, this goes all sorts of wrong. Kids are visiting Stone Age Park, which is populated by robot dinosaurs. Miss Anthrope, the teacher, has some issues controlling one student, the hip talking Disco Teck. The real dinosaurs show up and take Disco hostage. They are hungry and want some food.

Xenorama #29
The last issue I posted on here was #23, about two years ago. This is the newest issue, which is live on Amazon now, along with all the issues from #15 on, plus the Marine Boy book, version #2 (and that's a spoiler- there will be a version 3 in the near future, as soon as I put the final touches on it). I know I should have published more about the other issues recently, but life does happen, and I have found I much prefer the physical books than reading online.

Pachycephalosaurus
This is an image from a project I am working on now. It's more of a long term thing, so it won't be out any time soon, but I'm having a great deal of fun writing about it. It's about the various dinosaur parks I have visited, plus a few more parks I want to visit. The history of the parks is one of the most interesting things I am learning about. There are so many of these things in nearly every state (except perhaps Hawaii, since the islands are only about six million years old and thus wouldn't have fossils at this point in time.
