Jerry Lawson, the inventor of the video game cartridge.

This is Jerry Lawson. He invented the video game cartridge for the Fairchild Channel F system. Because of his invention, many consoles had cartridges and CD formats and would become the norm.

The Atari 2600, NES, Genesis, and many consoles wouldn't exist without him.

Happy Black History Month.

Monthly newsletter going out tomorrow and, honestly, it's probably not a good time to subscribe if you haven't already and don't know what you're getting into. I don't think this is the issue you'll want to start off with. In fact, I'm morbidly curious to see how many unsubscribes this one sparks. 🤣

Thanks my dude 😎

Hell yeah! Waiting on my Ultimate X-Men 3 Omni, which includes the much-derided Ultimatum event. 😁

New Omni haul 🥳

Good evening and you know what time it is ☺️

two heavily armed and very deranged individuals stalk one another on a city street Grimjack #77 (1990) cover art by Flint Henry

“I got some things to take care of before I check out. And you’re at the top of the list.”

It’s rare I share a cover, but when it came to this issue’s showdown between Grimjack and Skorzny - as good as the interior art was - nothing matched the perfection of what Flint Henry did here on the front.

Need that Absolute Killer moth to show up 😎
