2024: The UNITED COMICS FOREVER Tour
UPDATE:
This year, actually next month, I turn 60. My first published work in this industry under my byline, a one pager in Charlton Bullseye #4 was published when I was 15. So yeah, 45 years of comics, working for various publishers. And now, for my own.
I’m not a marquee name. Quite frankly, I never tried to be. For me, the excitement was doing the work and getting paid for it…in an industry that I love. Unfortunately, this means that you end up cultivating two types of people around you:
Those that treat you with respect and appreciate you;
And those that disrespect you, and take you for granted.
This year, at this age, I’m done with the second group. Period. I’ve advised and helped several people in this marketplace along the way. Some who appreciated it, and some who kept trying to step over my co**se to make it.
After having suffered some trials and tribulations over the last half decade, I am finally back on track with a lot of effort and a little help from my friends. United Comics is doing well out the gate, Indybox is on the horizon, and our coffee line has launched with a very good start.
This year, I will NOT allow myself to be disrespected or taken for granted. Enough is enough. Time for some fun.
Thanks to those who care and have given me their support. This tour is dedicated to all of you.
