I just backed The Atomic Thunderbolt: Complete Graphic Novel on @kickstarter.com www.kickstarter.com/projects/tjc...

A new "One More Issue" Project commission, based on the idea that the Golden Age heroes had one final adventure in the 1940s - Doctor Fate battles the Spectre's foe Kulak in a fantasy cover to More Fun Comics #99, as drawn by Robert Jones (homaging Marie Severin's cover to Strange Tales #158).

Ha! Wordle 1,565 2/6 🟨🟨🟨⬜⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩

These popped up in my Facebook memories from nine (!) years ago - four #Babylon5 pulp magazine covers I mocked up using Pulp-O-Mizer. ... for anyone who, like me, has always wondered what B5 would have been like if it had been written by EE "Doc" Smith or Edmond Hamilton.

One for the #JSA and #All-StarSquadron fans - All-Star Squadron #150 (from my Continuation Project), drawn by @craigcermak.bsky.social and newly coloured by Rich Seetoo. Based on John Byrne's cover to Secret Origins Annual #1.

Aha! The secret of what @straczynski.bsky.social is doing in the UK is revealed - he's set up a scaffolding company.😂 (Just to note - this picture is taken from the company's website. A school near me is having some work done, and I saw a similar sign there, but I couldn't get a clear picture).

A new commission from @hotelfred.bsky.social - what if Quality Comics published a 103rd issue of Police Comics starring Plastic Man (it became a cops-and-detectives title with that issue) - and had also managed to do a deal with DC to use Golden Age Superman villain The Prankster as Plas' foe?

Back in 2018 I was in contact with Vince Argondezzi, and he was kind enough to share some of his unpublished #InfinityInc material, including two cover designs (one penciled, one just a layout). I've had Bambos Georgiou work both of them up into final covers for me - and I think they look great!

TransPennine "Express" once again demonstrate how inaccurate their company name is. Once I am appointed dictator they'll be legally required to change their name to the more accurate "TransPennine When We Can Be Arsed To Provide A Train Service"...

One for the #JSA fans: I picked this up from my framer yesterday afternoon - Mike Machlan depicts the Justice Society battling Solomon Grundy, drawn (I think) in the late 1990s, and now hanging on my wall. Machlan was an exceptional talent, and I'm absolutely delighted to own this.

Belatedly, because I've only just realised what the date is - and in solidarity with our French cousins - happy Bastille Day, and "a bas les aristos"!

I've just walked over to, and back from, the local farmer's market, and in my capacity as Prestwich's Arbiter Of Temperature I am officially declaring it far too hot.

A new commission: what if Comic Cavalcade starred super-heroes for one further issue (#30) before it turned into a funny-animal series - and what if Flash, Wonder Woman and Green Lantern (plus Mr Terrific) appeared in a book-length story? Art by John Howard, from the Kirby/Wood Avengers #20 cover.

I had no idea today was International Dinosaur Day - but it gives me the perfect excuse to post this 2021 commission from my All-Star Squadron Continuation Project - the Shining Knight and Firebrand, trapped on Dinosaur Island! Art by Val Semeiks, based on Ron Randall's cover to Arak #33.

One of my occasional commissions which homage Jerry Ordway's cover to All-Star Squadron #31, in this instance drawn by Steven Butler, and starring seventeen of the Golden and Silver Age characters who were members of the Mighty Crusaders. Can you name 'em all?

Your Pope name is: Last thing you ate + number of letters in your first name: Pope Toasted-Bagel IV I think there may be some ecumenical confusion here. 😉

I'm just wondering how long it'll take before the oaf in the White House claims that the election of the first American Pope was somehow his doing...🙄

Does the fact that the Papal conclave is emitting black smoke mean that they've got hold of a Martian war machine, and we can expect them to be using a heat ray before too long? IYKYK 😜

To be fair I'm backing the Kickstarter for this anyway, but it never hurts to have a backup... 😜

I had a package delivered by Yodel at around 11:30 this morning. Five minutes ago, they sent me an email to tell me that it's out for delivery and will arrive by 8pm... 🙄

Highland cattle in Heaton Park - I presume they must have flown south for Spring...

I know it's May 1st, and therefore no longer #JSApril, but I'd totally overlooked this fantasy alternate cover for All-Star Squadron #67, featuring the Justice Society - adapted by Bambos Georgiou from a Jerry Ordway page in America vs the JSA, and coloured by Rich Seetoo. ...so here it is!

#JSApril, day 30: and finally, my personal favourite JSA commission, art by Val Semeiks, based on an unused layout for the back cover of the "DC 2000" series which I saw after Val posted it (and other unpublished ideas) on his website, and featuring the pre-1944 members of the team, plus Hawkgirl.

#JSApril, day 29: a recreation (kinda) of the cover to the All-Star Squadron Preview featuring the Justice Society, drawn by Chris Kohler and coloured by Rich Seetoo. "Kinda" because it's adapted from the re-inked version (in All-Star Squadron #50) which swapped in Starman for the Shining Knight.

#JSApril, bonus: back in 2018 I was in touch with Vince Argondezzi before he sadly died, and he was generous enough to send me scans of some unpublished material, including this rough of his proposal for the cover of Infinity Inc #44. It wasn't used - but I think it would have made a great cover!

#JSApril, day 28 - @peterclintonart.bsky.social draws the members of Infinity Inc and friends re-enacting the cover of All-Star Squadron #31 (and yes, I *know* Hector Hall appears as both the Silver Scarab and his short-lived later identity as the Sandman - my commission, my choice of characters).

#JSApril, day 27 - Bambos Georgiou draws the Justice Society in a Golden Age Gallery reimagination of a Sal Buscema pin-up of the Avengers, originally his try-out piece for the team, before being used as the cover of an issue of Marvelmania magazine and then printed in an Avengers Treasury edition.

#JSApril, day 26 - two more "Untold Tales Of Infinity Inc" commissions, art by Luis Rivera, based on Avengers #176 (original art by Romita Jr & Austin) and New Warriors #10 (original art by Bagley & Mahlstedt). These are the last in this series thus far - but I have plans for around a dozen more.

#JSApril, bonus - all 4 issues of the 2003-2005 Spanish comic "Circulo Justiciero", featuring analogs of the JSA: The Living Flame (GL), Tomahawk (Hawkman), Crimson Lama (Spectre), Wizard King (Dr Fate), Dynamo Dwarf (Atom), Spark (Flash), The Fog (Sandman) and Target (Hourman, sort of).

#JSApril, day 25 - what if three members of the JSA had appeared in one more issue in the 1940s? Mock covers for All-Flash #33 (by the Fraim Bros); Green Lantern Comics #39 (by Bambos Georgiou); and Sensation Comics #107 (by Larry Guidry) - based on Flash #114, Green Lantern #16, and Ms Marvel #6.

#JSApril, day 24 - Justice Society members the Flash, Green Lantern and Wonder Woman (plus one of the Blackhawks) attempt to stop the War Wheel's path of destruction! Commission art by Mitch Ballard.

#JSApril, day 23 - two more "Untold Tales Of Infinity Inc" commissions, both drawn by Luis Rivera, and adapted from John Byrne's cover to Alpha Flight #27 and George Perez's cover to JLA #195. The second cover features a previously-unseen incarnation of the Injustice Society, led by Vandal Savage!

#JSApril, day 22 - a 2021 commission from @peterclintonart.bsky.social featuring the "expansion team" members from the 2005 Justice Society series (Damage, Cyclone, Judomaster, the new versions of Mr America and Amazing Man) plus the second Mr Terrific - with the All-Star Squadron in the background.

#JSApril, day 21: final four commissions from my Golden Age Team-Up Project, featuring JSA members Wonder Woman, Doctor Fate, Dr Mid-Nite and the Flash. Art on all by Bambos Georgiou, based on X-Men Classic #106, Sub-Mariner #22, Captain America #140, and Vision & Scarlet Witch #2 respectively.

#JSApril, day 20 - The Justice Society, as superbly rendered by @craigcermak.bsky.social and coloured by Rich Seetoo! I saw Craig posting work-in-progress shots of this in 2022, and when I discovered it wasn't already spoken for, obviously I grabbed it straight away, with Rich colouring it in 2023.

#JSApril, day 19: four more commissions from my Golden Age Team-Up Project, featuring JSA members the Spectre, Hawkman, Wildcat and Green Lantern. Art on all by Bambos Georgiou, based on Super-Villain Team-Up #13, Nova #2, Ghost Rider #55, and Fantastic Four #207 respectively. More to come!

#JSApril, day 18: Larry Guidry draws a revised version of the cover of JLA #67, substituting members of the Justice Society for the JLA, as the Earth 2 Robin and Silver Age Red Tornado celebrate their induction to the team. I spotted this for sale from Larry back in 2019, and just couldn't resist!

#JSApril, day 17: four more commissions from my Golden Age Team-Up Project, featuring JSA members the Atom, Superman, Johnny Thunder and Hourman. Art on all by Bambos Georgiou, based on Captain America #131, Marvel Team-Up #49, Phantom Stranger #39 and Spider-Man #183 respectively. More to come!

#JSApril. day 16: this isn't strictly a part of my "Untold Tales Of Infinity Inc" commission series, since it dates back to 2018, but still featuring the next-generation heroes of Earth 2 - Infinity Inc re-enact the cover of Giant-Size X-Men #1, art by Brendon and Brian Fraim, colours by Rob Shalda.

#JSApril, day 15: four commissions from my Golden Age Team-Up Project featuring, JSA members Starman, Mr Terrific, Black Canary and Sandman. Art on all by Bambos Georgiou, based on Super-Villain Team-Up #7, Blue Beetle #21, Defenders #36 and Marvel Tales #217 respectively. More to come!

#JSApril, day 14 - it looks like Johnny Thunder has found himself in trouble, but say, you know his Thunderbolt will bring the rest of the Justice Society (1942 line-up) to the rescue! A Golden Age Gallery pin-up, drawn by John Watson, adapted from an iconic John Buscema / Tom Palmer Avengers page.

#JSApril, day 13: the JSA and JLA met every year - but what if, in a 1984 Special, the Justice Society had *also* teamed up with the Outsiders, to battle the menaces of Earth 2's Wotan and Earth 1's Tannarak? Art by Bambos Georgiou, based on Ron Wilson and John Romita's cover to Avengers #118.

#JSApril, day 12 - to avoid running out of pure Justice Society-related material before the end of the month, here's the second of my "Untold Tales Of Infinity Inc" commissions, featuring Earth 2's next-generation super-team. Art by Luis Rivera, based on the Byrne/Austin cover to Avengers #186.

#JSApril, day 11: fifth (and final) All-Star Comics Annual commission, drawn by @mikewaltersart.bsky.social, featuring a group of JSA members from across the decades, held captive by their greatest foe - Per Degaton. Based on David Williams' cover to Justice League Of America #27 (2018).

#JSApril, day 10: the fourth of my All-Star Comics Annuals commissions (showing the 1985 Annual), drawn by @peterclintonart.bsky.social, in which the Justice Society battle the Ultra-Humanite, adapted from the cover of Tales Of The Teen Titans #87, original art by Gammill & Giordano.

#JSApril, day 9: the third of my fantasy All-Star Comics Annual commissions (this one depicting 1984's Annual), with a selection of Justice Society members defeated by Earth-3's Crime Syndicate. Art by Stephen Baskerville, adapted from Carlos Pacheco's cover to Squadron Sinister #1.

#JSApril, day 8: the second of my All-Star Comics Annual commissions (in this case, what might have been 1983's Annual), pitting the Bronze Age Justice Society against an assortment of members of the Injustice Society. Art by John Watson, based on George Perez' cover to New Teen Titans #3.
