Yes, South America is a continent I've yet to visit -- though I think I did a short 4-pager somewhere in Latin America (can't remember off the top of my head!)<br /><br />I appreciate your enjoying the wide range of storylines I've tried to put in the series, which has kept my interest in it as well.Randy @ WCG Comicshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08105266129029859540noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1163912949777243757.post-7960822391573573292014-10-07T19:03:20.516-07:002014-10-07T19:03:20.516-07:00“This year marks the 20th anniversary”
[I’d like...“This year marks the 20th anniversary” <br /> [I’d like to say I was there at the beginning, but the reality of it is I came in after a few issues – having read a review, if memory serves, in the late Comics Buyer’s Guide. May not have been there from day one, but look forward to being with you ‘til the end. Been a great ride so far.]<br /> <br />“freedom to put the character in a wide variety of settings”<br />[the variety is one of the things I find attractive about your book. After all, life is variety and it’s good to see different aspects of your interests through “Rob’s life.” How boring it would be to be reliving the same stories over and over.]<br /> <br />“tell stories that have varied widely in genre and tone”<br />[I find this adds depth and history to the characters in your book. I, too, have a variety of interests besides comics and being able to bring that variety together is pretty awesome… sports, romance, music, food, travel, etc – I’m good with it all.]<br /> <br />“ the great syndicated newspaper adventure comic strips”<br />[I am familiar with these strips, though hardly proficient. I do recognize the place and influence they have in the comics medium.]<br /> <br />“ I loved the black and white art and how the stories dove-tailed with real-world events”<br />[It is very cool when a story/character/event strikes a chord in you as a reader. Your book has done that several times to me.]<br /> <br />“ WCG Comics go back to the 1970s and the early days of the small press of comics fandom.”<br />[My comics experience began around that time. However, living where I did, I was limited to access to a few books from the “Big Two” that made it to the spinner rack at the local drug store. It wasn’t until I’d left comics for a time and happened upon an amazing place several years later – a store dedicated to comic books – that I became aware of comics from other publishers, and comics from independent creators. Those were heady days.]<br /> <br />“an imprint called the “War Comics Group” (or WCG for short).”<br />[Ah, so that’s why.]Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03228762571716641334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1163912949777243757.post-47675341163372888732014-10-07T19:03:17.444-07:002014-10-07T19:03:17.444-07:00“Rob is Sgt.

Hanes’ nephew, and I’ve always planned to one day feature the character in the series.”<br />[OK, I’m very interested to see this.]<br /> <br />“the independent and black and white comics revolution was in full swing, with series like Cerebus the Aardvark, Usugai Yojimbo, and American Flagg! showing the viability of alternative comics<br />[As I said, very heady times… glad I was around for this.]<br /> <br />“ the small press comics community was a much smaller pond full of enthusiastic comics fans and creators who were very responsive to other people’s work.”<br />[I was grateful for the Comics Buyer’s Guide, at this time in particular, as it introduced me to books and creators that I absolutely loved. The small press books I discovered were for the most part quite interesting and enjoyable… Adventure Strip Digest, Amoeba Adventures, Xeno’s Arrow, etc – good times!]<br /> <br /> <br />“Though in 20 years this may not seem like much of an output, I’m still proud of the body of work I’ve created”<br />[I’ll say it now – Congratulations on 20 years! More importantly, I’d that to say – THANK YOU! – for 20+ years of quality entertainment. I DO indeed look forward (mostly patiently) to each issue.]<br /> <br />“other comparisons to the series are Jonny Quest, Indiana Jones and Tintin.”<br />[As I hinted above, I love the variety and these influences you mentioned are touchstones for me, as well.]<br /> <br />“Rob’s adventures have taken him to Russia; to Africa; to Eastern Europe; to Great Britain; to the Middle East; and even North Korea”<br />[I, having lived in Brazil for a time, am still eager to see a Rob Hanes story set there. (hint, hint)]<br /> <br />“ Caroline Wilde, Anthony Cromwell; Isabelle Corbeil,; Katya Vilnius; and Tiffany Lance. Gabriel Evans Girard; Abner McKenna; and Dennis Winger and Jarret Cox.”<br />[Yep, you’ve created a nice dossier of characters to play with, in your book.]<br /> <br />“ will re-set the series and refresh the character for readers and the realities of the modern-day world. Stay tuned for more about this soon!!”<br />[I am intrigued. I like the idea of a “reboot” to bring Rob into the modern setting… without completely changing the character(s) I’ve grown to know.]<br /> <br />“there will always be a print version that will always strive to capture the fun and magic of the classic high adventure comics that inspired me.”<br />[I’m a confirmed fan of the printed version --- aka “old school” or “dinosaur” --- sorry, but the digital comics just don’t give me the same excitement.]<br /> <br />“Here's to another 20 years–and more!” <br />[Here, here!!]Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03228762571716641334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1163912949777243757.post-83547091452254938412014-10-05T01:36:02.655-07:002014-10-05T01:36:02.655-07:00Andy didn't actually schlep the book to publis...Andy didn't actually schlep the book to publishers.

It seems as if Comicspace has dumped the Wordpress feature all together, and now we are left with a "store in beta". <br /><br />That means, goodbye my 200+ comic strips that went back to 2007. The abrupt change doesn't surprise me one bit. It just irks me that I still don't know if my stuff is out there somewhere, or if it is truly "gone".
