Damn…

Friday, January 26th, 2007

I’ve let almost a week slip by with only a couple of comment replies posted. Sorry. I’ve been immersed in Doctor Fate. I’ll post some thoughts on the series when I finish this script. I’m experimenting a bit (always dangerous) and learning a few things (always interesting — to me, anyway).

Alone with Fate on a Saturday Night

Saturday, January 20th, 2007

I suppose the title says it all, doesn’t it? Bitch, bitch, moan, moan…

“…and it’s not like you’re going to read about it on the Steve Gerber Web site.”

Wednesday, January 17th, 2007

Oh, sure you are. Well, from a link on Steve’s web site, anyway. In an interview for Wizard.com, Marvel editor Tom Brevoort relates the story of the worst mistake he ever made. Basically, I’m it. About 98% of what Tom says in this interview is accurate. The other two percent look different from his point […]

Some Thoughts on Zauriel – Part 2 (Finally)

Sunday, January 14th, 2007

If you haven’t already, go read Part 1, then come back and join us for the next paragraph.

Zauriel certainly qualified […]

Some Thoughts on Zauriel – Part 1

Wednesday, January 10th, 2007

So, where was I? Oh, right — I was saying that the first time someone told me about Zauriel, back when he debuted in *JLA*, I thought it was just about the *worst* idea for a character I’d ever heard. One of my reasons would probably have occurred to you immediately. I’m an agnostic. The […]

Tonight…

Monday, January 8th, 2007

…I’m exhausted, but tomorrow I’ll finally post a few thoughts on writing Zauriel. I’d stop there, but I promised you and myself at least three lines a day, so I’ll toss out this fragment of a thought: The first time someone told me about Zauriel — years ago, when he made his debut in *JLA* […]

Don’t Call Me Shirley

Thursday, January 4th, 2007

I’m amazed at how these brief quasi-meditations seem to evoke so many comments. Here’s one more for you. Have you ever been introduced to a total stranger for the first time and experienced a flash of *recognition*, as though you’d known the person all your life — or in a prior one? That actually happened […]
