Before and after.

This mammoth built-in was a big attraction when Angie and I bought this house.
Alas, it is time to make way for something new.

How do I not get this?

Good productive day at the shop processing a long box of Sonic the Hedgehog comic books. Then, at the end of the day, a guy came to me and asked if I knew about Solomon Kane and if there were any comics about him. You've come to the right place, sir! 😬

Recent things that have come to live with me

It was on this day, March 3, 1997 that I started in comics retail. I figured it to be a fun bridging job while leaving the previous employer and seeking a new gig. Little did I realize what was in store. 29 years and still plugging 😊

Thanks for sharing this, Ben!

Thank you for sharing, Paul!

Thanks for sharing, Todd!

I was psyched to be a guest on the Brig, the Retro Ridoctopus podcast.

I talk about my newest novella in the Sinister Societies anthology, comics, Conan, and more.

@patrickzircher.bsky.social it is the Hard Hero one. I've been kicking myself for passing on it decades ago. It finally showed up in my shop and I bought it faster than a Cimmerian storming the walls of Venarium.
And thank you for your work! I've thoroughly enjoyed your stuff from the start.

That is a Buscema-inspired piece. Inspiration taken from the cover of CtB #88.
