The two-part epic return of the regular series of MAN IN THE MASK. "The Wulf of Mason Street."

Redneck Aesir or Norse Hillbillies?

You decide.

The Grant/Breyfogle Batman and Detective era should be required reading. Absolutely brilliant.

You gotta have a super secret place to hide your mask and gear. And, have some fun while you’re at it.

Check out issue #5 of the upcoming Man in the Mask regular series to see why Tommy’s gearing up.

HAPPY SUPERHERO DAY!

Took a stroll through Lexington Comic & Toy Con last night and had a great conversation with the very gracious Dan Riba. Picked up an awesome Spirit head sketch (during Eisner week on Eisner’s birthday) along with a couple prints of my favorite Bat villains.
