National Child Abuse Prevention (CAP) Month

 "April is National Child Abuse Prevention (CAP) Month, a time when child wellness and child welfare organizations across the U.S. elevate the importance of creating systems and programs that put children and families first."


It should be every month, every day, and every hour.

Happy Birthday Steve Englehart

 Among the many books he wrote, he also scripted the first solo titled Dr. Strange book, with a Brunner cover.

Top that!


The man still looks the same.

Thomas Yeates hung out with some of the Greats; Frank Frazetta, Al Williamson, and Alex Toth

 As a young man, and graduate of the Kubert School, Thomas Yeates spent some days with Al Williamson and then drove over to Frank's house.

Yeates has had many encounters with other greats in the comics, including a visit Alex Toth's home years later.

Robert Mitchum and Frank Frazetta


 Robert Mitchum was Frank's favorite actor. They kinda looked alike, right?

 When the late Trina was inducted into the Eisner Hall of Fame it was Sergio Aragones who did the honor of presenting her on stage.


Read Sergio and Mark's Groo if you have not done so already.


The poetry by Mark and the brilliantly detailed art by Sergio are worth the read.
