Finally—back to my drawing board. It's been a long, long time I couldn't even set foot into my studio (our late son Mike did the electrical wiring & work; the hole in my soul the size of Mike was just... to... raw). Relieved I still have some drawing chops left.

NEW WORK: Delivered 2 collaborative bonus features to 2 blu-ray clients (titles TBA) & overjoyed by this from Justin Decloux & @goldninjavideo.bsky.social : the long-lost DEVIL BEAR (1929)—with Justin's & my collaborative bonus feature—is now available! goldninjavideo.com?se_activity_...

Marj & I are braving the weather to attend this event & happy to do so, it's an honor. My childhood friend (the late great) Mitch Casey (the first person I ever saw draw a comic, when I was just 5 or 6 years old) not only put me on the creative path, he nominated me for this & let me know he was...

My latest ceramics painting excursion, finally out of the kiln... my color scheme, lovingly applied to a prefab Triceratops ceramic 'blank' sculpture.

Spending a chunk of tomorrow morning recording a new installment of our podcast CineGeezers—this one dedicated to our lifetime love for cinematic Frankensteins, kicking off with the latest as our springboard for conversation...

Two volumes to date; more to come this winter! The next volume (3rd in the series to date) offers an in-depth filmography for the genre, 1896–1972 (using the year of THE LEGEND OF BOGGY CREEK as the 'cut-off' for my purposes) & what will be the 4th volume is in the layout stages, too. Dig in!

If you know someone who might like page-after-page of my monster artwork, a Christmas gift of one of my published sketchbooks—like this (cover jam with John Jennings, back cover w/ John Totleben, book design by Mark Masztal)—might do the trick! Amazon POD, paperback b&w or color edition or hardcover

My only two digital books to date. Not feeling too motivated to tackle any more of 'em.

Gidney & Cloyd rocked my Saturday mornings—only on occasion, but for some reason, they were favorites (and still are)!

NEW WORK: Part 4—and final!—of my serialized pre-1972 TV westerns featuring cryptids and/or faux-cryptids (preview, all together, if one of the forthcoming CRYPTID CINEMA™ books for 2026) is about to see print in the xlnt zine BARE*BONES #24, which also boasts Monarch/Charlton's BRIDES OF DRACULA!

NEW WORK: My full-length commentary track for a longtime favorite Pete Walker feature from the bone-gnawing, marrow-slurping 1970s might be of interest to a few of you... kinolorber.com/product/frig...

I grew up with all these fine folks, folks! My Duxbury Elementary School class photo, before the momentous move to Junior High (7th & 8th grade) at then brand-new Harwood Union High School, also in Duxbury, VT.

I didn't catch much of anything, but I did used to enjoy fishing.

Raw ink application (over Jack Kirby & Mike Royer drawing), reconfiguring Etrigan's face to how John Totleben & I revamped the Demon for our SAGA OF THE SWAMP THING, then the same art, thresholded to deepen the ink to true black. __ This art ©Jack Kirby, Mike Royer, S.R. Bissette

Yesterday longtime pal Tim Lucas & I completed recording a brand-new bonus feature for a forthcoming Blu-ray/4K release— —we were sort of dreading it, but then we did it, & I think we killed it. In the good sense, mind you. Title(s) TBA...

Currently my favorite two new cinema books; highly recommended! The first volume of Greg Kulon's essential, lavishly-illustrated Willis O'Brien bio is a 'must,' too.

Another GORGOriffic endorsement of the LITTLE SHOPPE OF HORRORS #52 (with my article—as noted—on the Charlton Silver Age monster comics). Very proud to be part of this bible on all-things-GORGO!

Quote to my freelance clients: See, my work IS a drawing card (pun intended)... Thanks, Glenn!!!

Me, long ago. No, I won't word it "correctly" to fit the week's nonsense.

I sure hope those ICE ads paid big bucks to Spotify (NOT)...

This Christmas season, give the gift of TYRANT® to somebody you love (& who loves dinosaurs)! Restocked the folks at WowCool, live link in top of comments, below...

Loving me some revisitations of STIG OF THE DUMP—the source novel & both of the British TV adaptations.

AMERIKA 2025: This is us, folks. The U.S. & us. This is what we've debased ourselves to.

Last 4 movies I caught in theaters (del Toro's FRANKENSTEIN I've now seen twice in-theater).

I can't post about the last four movies I just saw because (1) you'd never speak to me ever again if I did, & (2) it would give away the as-yet-unannounced Blu-ray/4K project/client I screened them to prep for the bonus feature I'm collaborating on.

One of these things is not like the other. While I did dig the film version of THE LONG WALK until its botched finale, the Bachman/King novel beats it by 450 country miles. Nifty how the film's key ad/poster ad emulated the original Bachman Signet paperback cover (artist uncredited).

Since it's still 2025, I just read (RUNNING MAN) & I'm now reading (LONG WALK), paperbacks I've owned & treasured since the 1980s (before anyone knew you-know-what). Two of the most prescient of the King/Bachman novels (along with RAGE), both with endings no film version will ever retain.

Oval Office Breakdown—in many ways breaking it all down, Amerika 2025, in a single image.

NEW WORK arrived this past week—I contribute a full-length commentary track for my all-time favorite version of Robert Louis Stevenson's THE STRANGE CASE OF DR. JEKYLL & MR. HYDE (1968 Dan Curtis production), the first great American (& Canadian) made-for-TV horror feature!

NEW WORK in this past week: I contributed an essay to the booklet accompanying Deaf Crocodile's ALRAUNE limited-edition Henrik Galeen double-feature—and blown away to be sharing pages with the great Dave McKean!

NEW WORK just arrived this week! LITTLE SHOPPE OF HORRORS #52 is a GORGO Bible, I kid you not—and I contributed the concluding chapter (on Charlton's Silver Age monster comics, GORGO, KONGA, REPTILICUS/REPTISAURUS). Proud to be part of this massive definitive volume!

This Christmas, give the gift of TYRANT®—all back four issues in stock at Wow Cool (along with SPIDERBABY COMIX & others)! www.wowcool.com?srsltid=AfmB...

Mornin'—rise & rot, fellow meat-puppets!

Some of my recently-sorted UFOlogy home library. SOME.

Awaken to 'news' about insane Felon-in-Chief ordering new round of nuclear weapon testing, "like other countries." This can't end well.

2025 began with a silent-but-deadly minor kitchen plumbing catastrophe that home insurance thankfully covered, and summer ended with completion of the refinishing of our entire main floor wooden floors (per our insurance adjustor's decision & instructions, all covered by insurance). Whew! Relief...

Autumn project: sorting & properly organizing my movie pressbook collection (shelving custom-built years & years ago for said collection by our beloved late son Michael Bleier).

Beware the Sturm-wolf!

Collaborative sketch with fellow Vermonter cartoonist Blair Shedd, done years ago "at that FCBD in West Lebanon at Newbury Comics," when I worked with that venue to bring Center for Cartoon Studies students & others together for various events.

Shave the rich.

Give it a read. For multiple reasons, so glad I retired from college-level teaching in 2020. What a clusterfuck it's all become, in more ways than imaginable.

Fish for dinner AGAIN???

Unhappy guy?

Happy guy?

Well, the East Wing movie theater has been demolished & hauled away as wreckage. The ghosts of Rocket Ronnie & Nancy now have nowhere to eat their ecto-popcorn...

Triops.

Is Disney and/or Disney/Marvel top-heavy overloading their megabucks fantasies with Black villains? Athena in TRON: ARES (2025) is the latest—even in the digital realm, it's white male & Asian-American woman vs black woman (all other digital-realm scourge are ciphers) spilling into our reality.

Richard Linklater's BLUE MOON (2025) is a brilliant, but absolutely agonizing & painful, feat; incredible performances, especially from Ethan Hawke, but gird yourself & avoid going anywhere near a bar or musical in its wake.

NEW WORK: I delivered a tasty commentary track for this 1974 UK cannibal classic from Kino Lorber Studio Classics, just announced & available for preorder (and on sale!)... kinolorber.com/product/frig...

He's doing what alien invaders did in EARTH VS THE FLYING SAUCERS and INDEPENDENCE DAY. Didn't every gov't & military person swear an oath to protect America from enemies "foreign & domestic"? Is NO ONE going to bring a halt to this renegade destructive insanity???
