I love the A-10!! I lived near a national guard base as a kid and they flew over all the time. I included them in my own comic because they are bad ass.
I dunno why but I always find it cool whenever I see a comic on a stream or a forum or something, and I get that "Hey! I actually own that comic!" It's kinda amazing my comics from back then still survive today. That Superman Annual... I remember it well. Bet I haven't read it since I was 12.
Chuck's typos are a great lesson about how spellcheck cannot save you from hundreds of error possibilities. They're all actual words but incorrectly placed or used wrong. Like he said, "juts" instead of "just" cannot be caught by a computer because it's a real word. I'm not saying he makes hundreds of errors per book; I speak collectively. He's really not that bad. That said, I've had the joy of finding something on the first page of a book and sounding off "found one" before we're done chatting. I'm sure A.I. will replace me someday, but not too soon. An A.I. may catch "juts" but it will never ask Chuck, "What happened to Bat the Israeli woman? She's my favorite character."
thank you for this video about editors so people can understand the Occupation they have in comics - and you confirm to me modern days editors dont know about comics ... i agree that totally
Superman Annual 11 is a real treasure. (Though I have to correct Chuck that Wonder Woman never enters a fantasy world; she's too busy fighting a losing battle against Mongul. Only Batman gets to see a world where his dad sidesteps the gunshot and clobbers the gunman, and we aren't shown beyond that.) What I love is how the world of Krypton that Clark is shown is not a perfect dream. Jor-El is a disgraced kook who foretold Krypton's doom and it never happened. Kandor is still gone, people protest that the Phantom Zone criminals should be released and there is mob violence. Jor-El even seems to be leading some sort of klan rally. In other words, it's not a utopia, it is real, which is probably what makes it more convincing for the victim of the black mercy. We never really find out if this is a flaw in the black mercy or if Superman could ever have shaken it off without help. BTW: I love that they tried adapting it into the Justice League cartoon, but they completely change it in too many important ways, including everything I just mentioned.
Speaking of Antarctic Press, they've seemingly taken down everything you've wrote for them off their site or have completely sold out of them. I tried to get Unprepped but it's not there anymore.
I do news editing but I always try to be as hands off as possible and just let the writer do their thing, only making changes that I think are absolutely necessary. It is interesting to see how some of my co-workers absolutely can't do that. They always have to be screwing with stuff, making or asking for major changes, and justifying it with some argument like "no one [read: they personally] talks or thinks like that it doesn't make any sense!"
Mr. Dixon, Do you ever do speakings at literary festivals? There’s an Appalachian Literary Festival in Tennessee in early March. I tried contacting you via email and your website to no avail. The festival is part of the chamber of commerce in Sevierville, and it is a paid gig. Would you be interested?
“How many typos are in your drafts?”
“All of them. All the typos.”
I heard my name mentioned in conjunction with 'Zalen: What Kills Must Die.' 🧐
Yeah boi! My summoning of Andy hath worked! :D

Your stories are great! Thanks for sharing them.
Awesome stuff dude.
Perhaps you don't recall Moon Knight #34 because Fingeroth rewrote it 😉 (if his surname had been 'Fingeroff' he might have left your work alone more😅🤣
The first of the green lantern green arrow crossovers was very popular in my city, sold out every where. I had to get an issue re ordered at the time.

I'm shocked that you aren't curled up in a ball rage quitting comics until you get your way, and your mommy gets you your bottle! 😂
"Democrats and Republicans"? No love for the Independents, LoL?
