Writer & Creator
Here’s pages 2-3 of LadyDarke #4. I love following the pattern of full-page splash (see page 1 here) and then double-page splash. Kirby. TMNT. It’s just so…comics. A way to grab a reader and throw them into another world, totally unique to the comic book medium.
The unreleased “lost” issue #4 of LADYDARKE, releasing serially here page-by-page over the next few weeks. Without further ado, here’s page 1! Page 1 LadyDarke #4
One of my local movie theaters closed down last month. The backstory isn’t an unfamiliar one- rising rents, COVID impacts that never quite subsided, inflation, changing viewing habits, aging owners seeking retirement. Choose one or choose all. The theater, Cinema World in bucolic Fitchburg, MA, until March 31 sat on an old school stretch of…
I recently picked up a trove of HD DVDs and a standalone HD DVD player off of Facebook Marketplace (damn you, Zuck!) for a cool $30. Despite having a house outfitted with 4K TVs and a sprawling selection of streaming services at my fingertips, I’ve found myself oddly obsessed with watching movies on this obsolete…
This past Saturday I attended Plastic City Comic Con 2023. The convention is right in my area here in Central Massachusetts, so I’ve tabled at it each and every year. The venue has changed a few times- starting in Leominster’s Veteran’s Center, then jumping to Fitchburg’s Wallace Civic Center, and this year making the leap…
Hard to believe it’s been over 20 years since Marvel rebooted the X-Men line for the then freshly born 21st century, ushering in an era of post-modern mutants clad in leather and drenched in Y2K cool/ennui. Morrison and Quitely’s New X-Men was the crown jewel, but the oddest mutant book of the pack for me…
I used to love going on routine trips to the grocery store or pharmacy with my grandpa as a kid, because all those places had a spinner rack full of comic books that I could pilfer. Those spinner racks are long gone, and comic books are nowhere to be found in mainstream retail society, but…
Meet Iggy and Romero! Here’s a page from LadyDarke #3 featuring Laura’s Uncle Iggy and his talking shotgun, Romero. These two are a lot of fun and add that appropriate amount of inappropriate uncle energy to the world of LadyDarke. If you haven’t already, back LadyDarke Book III – Into the Void today!
What happens when the future gets old? What happens when the hot newness of the bleeding age gathers rust and accumulates the barnacles of time? A friend of mine passed away last year. Someone I’d known for over 25 years. Despite many years without seeing each other in person, we had a regular online cadence….

Maybe it’s a midlife crisis kinda thing, I don’t know, but I’ve been enthralled by rediscovering the television shows of my youth. The stuff of syndication dreams and reruns paradise from the era of the CRT. They say the present is the golden age of TV, with stuff like Breaking Bad and Game of Thrones…
March in New England is a good time to steep in regret and think about all the mistakes you’ve made in your life. Namely, how did I end up here in the hills of Worcester County, watching multiple feet of snow fall over everything, while my friends and colleagues in warmer climates are tending to…
