Rob Hanes Adventures #26 is mentioned in the latest installment of the Indie Comics Showcase on the @comictropes.bsky.social Comic Tropes' YouTube channel—with some kind words about the issue. The video is cued to the segment, but be sure to watch the full video. www.youtube.com/live/vH9-HJ1...

Work in progress: Continuing the tradition of stories inspired by real-world events, Rob Hanes Adventures #27 takes the series to Ukraine! When a U.S. spy gets trapped behind the lines in a hot zone, Rob joins forces with a private military contractor to extract him. #comics #wip wcgcomics.com

I'm featured at First Comics News and its Indy Spotlight column—the latest issue of Rob Hanes Adventures (#26) is now available to order, along with all back issues, both in print and digitally, at indyplanet.com! www.firstcomicsnews.com/indy-spotlig... wcgcomics.com

Remembering the great artist, illustrator and poster artist Drew Struzan. I had the opportunity and fortune to have him sign these four posters of his, most of which currently hang in my home. #DrewStruzan

I was sorry to hear about the passing of the luminous and quirky screen presence, Diane Keaton! The DVD of Warren Beatty's Reds, for which she received an Oscar nom, has sat in my studio the past few weeks, waiting for the right moment to rewatch. Look forward to revisiting even more now.

Thank you for being part of the issue! It’s especially great when an advertiser is also one of our favorite cartoonists.

Just received the latest issue of Hogan's Alley Magazine (#24)—another great issue and I have an ad in it with great discounts available to all—see ad or visit wcgcomics.com for details! @hogansalley.bsky.social #comics

Another ink commission. Lara Croft this time

Doom! By @philhester.bsky.social and me. #siouxpercon

RIP Robert Redford. He had a great career arc but I particularly admired his 1970's and later political/spy thrillers like Three Days of the Condor, All the President's Men and Spy Game. Anyone familiar with my work on Rob Hanes Adventures will see some of the DNA of those films in my work.

At Long Beach Comic Con recently, I had artist/writer Howard Chaykin sign my copy of the back cover to Blackhawk #3, since I have the original hanging on my wall, which I purchased from him in 1991! Also brought some recent collections of his work to sign, and got an American Flagg print.

On September 10th, 1966, the original SPACE GHOST animated series made its official debut! Happy 59th birthday, Big Guy!

Happy birthday to cartoonist Frank Robbins (1917-94), creator of Johnny Hazard, who cut his teeth on Scorchy Smith, and worked for DC and Marvel in his later years. Out of the Caniff/Sickles school, he was a terrific draftsman whose stories were always jaunty and fast moving! Even own an original!

Happy birthday to cartoonist legend and maestro Sergio Aragones!

The latest issue of Rob Hanes Adventures (no. 26) is now available on GlobalComix—where Rob gets dragged into the billionaire space race and the world of crypto, and blasts into space! Read it at globalcomix.com/read/32eb528... #comics #adventure globalcomix.com/read/32eb528... @globalcomix.com

Remembering Jack Kirby on his birthday yesterday—in my current issue of Rob Hanes Adventures (#26), where Rob goes to space, I very consciously sprinkled in some of that famous Kirby krackle into shots! Happy birthday to the king! #jackkirby #kirbykrackle wcgcomics.com

Tonight's Bedtime Reading: Rob Hanes Adventures #26, from 2025, by Randy Reynaldo. Every year @ San Diego Comic-Con there is one must-buy comic, the latest issue of RHA, a series I've been reading since its fanzine days over 30 years ago. And Randy is one of the nicest people in comics, too! #comics

Further #SDCC2025 #comichaul: Harley's Little Black Book #4 (Bombshell Harley is the best Harley), #RobHanes #26, #Archie meets Jay & Silent Bob. @jimmypalmiotti.bsky.social @randywcgcomics.bsky.social @billytucci.bsky.social @danparent.bsky.social @fernandoruiz.bsky.social @archiecomics.bsky.social

Recently saw the Jack Kirby exhibition at the Skirball Cultural Center museum in L.A.! Plenty of original art, and a fitting tribute to his life, visionary imagination, and impact on comics and modern culture and mythology.

Though I don't crowdfund Rob Hanes Adventures, the support of readers, fans and backers is nevertheless key to my work on the series—in that spirit, Rob Hanes Adventures #26 is now available! Every issue is self-contained so jump in anytime! I'm a 2018 Inkpot Award recipient.... (cont'd)

So glad to hear that the DC Comics work of one of my biggest influences, master cartoonist and storyteller Alex Toth, will be collected in a book next year! 13thdimension.com/first-time-e...

Hey folks! It’s some of my favorite people- @karlkesel.bsky.social and @davidhahn.bsky.social with a kickstarter you’re gonna want to support!

Hey, I cameo in JustinScarred's recent Randomland YouTube episode from #SDCC2025! Here's the video cued up to my appearance, but be sure to watch the entire episode, it's a great overview and walk through of Comic-Con! wcgcomics.com www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rtrr...

This was waiting for me in the mail when I returned from SDCC early this week! I actually don't purchase or collect action figures, but when this one became available, I couldn't resist. I can't decide whether to keep it in the box to preserve its collectibility, or to open and play with it. 😬

Every year, @comicbooksniffer.bsky.social & I love reading @comicsbeat.bsky.social's list of #SDCC "Winners & Losers." We we were shocked to see @fanbasepress.bsky.social among the winners! TY to @comixace.bsky.social & @zackquaintance.bsky.social for the shout-out and congrats on your Eisner win!

In this photo posted with a story about #SDCC2025 from, of all places, the National Review, you can see me and my booth. I'm in the center lower half of the photo—you can spot my Rob Hanes Adventures banner with the orange background! #SDCC #comics #indiecomics

DID YOU KNOW THAT MARK WAID (@markwaid.bsky.social) and DAN SCHKADE (@danschkade.bsky.social) did one of the many odd origins of EVEN STEVEN? Did you know it's in a book called "THE MANY ODD ORIGINS OF EVEN STEVEN"? Did you know you can get that book here: www.kickstarter.com/projects/122...

More coverage of my appearance at #SDCC2025 from @bleedingcool.com News! As @richjohnston.bsky.social notes in the piece, he and I go back a ways, so his writeup offers a nice personal overview and perspective. See me Booth K1 in the Small Press! I'll have the newest issue of Rob Hanes Adventures!

Slightly tweaked update to my cover art for Rob Hanes Adventures #19—a riff, of course, on Howard Chaykin's great American Flagg, particularly to that series' first issue cover. For the Fourth. wcgcomics.com

I've been re-organizing and indexing my comics collection. I plan to periodically post what I've been finding... #comics #mycomicscollection

Silver St. Cloud calls Dick Grayson to let him know that Bruce Wayne is missing. Dick reassures her by telling her Bruce is fine. But privately he's concerned and turns into the man who can solve the mystery of his missing mentor. Detective Comics #472, Sept 1977 by Englehart, Rogers & Austin

Now at the printer and available soon—This summer, Rob Hanes Adventures #26 goes into orbit when the long-running indie comics series blasts into space! #comics #indiecomics wcgcomics.com For more details and art, visit bit.ly/43V1ykG

Delighted to see Maybe Happy Ending win Best Musical at the Tony Awards! We went to NYC in April to see several shows and added it without knowing much about it—now we feel very fortunate that we did, with Darren Criss also winning Best Actor in a Musical! Saw him a few nights later signing outside!

We were fortunate to see Good Night and Good Luck on Broadway back in April and I was equally mesmerized by the live broadcast of the production last night—they did a great job adapting it for TV/streaming! And now I have a recording that preserves my memories of the play.

Saw M:I-Final Reckoning opening weekend and loved it! Back in Rob Hanes Adventures #24, I actually loosely based an actor character in the issue on Tom Cruise—much to Rob's chagrin, he portrays Rob in a tv streaming series based on Rob's adventures. wcgcomics.com

Had great fun my first time exhibiting at the Pasadena Comic Con—and I was boothed right next to the celebrity autograph area! Thanks to all who stopped by. For more photos, a complete report, and to find out who I saw (and had moments with), go to wcgcomics.blogspot.com/2025/05/2025...
