Coming in February 2009

The 1950's superhero Atomic Mouse comes to the rescue of a dimensionally displaced funny animal superhero team in this epic parody adventure!

With the talents of:

Shawntae Howard
Louis Frank
Ron Murphy
Jerry Loomis
Mike Curtis

and input by comics legend Roy Thomas

Cover by Dr. Comet

Please note this time Atomic Mouse is general readers, not just for kids only!

Katmandu Mini Poster

We're still cleaning out the Vault and ran across ten of these mini posters reprinting the covers from Katmandu 16, 17, and 18 as they were designed - a tryptch scene.

Ceremonies are each signed by creator Carole Curtis, with art by Shawntae Howard and color by Shane Fisher.

Actual image size is 7 1/4" x 16 1/8".

$17.50 each plus 2.50 which pays for the mailing tube each is shipped in.

WHEN THESE TEN ARE GONE, THERE WILL BE NO MORE.

This next piece is news is hard to write. Carole and I have had what is called a "Perfect Storm" over the past few months, beginning with the death of her younger brother on her birthday.

Those who have read my occasional posts know that we have over 20 "barn cats" we inherited when we moved here ten years ago.

Basically we've weathered most of this "Perfect Storm" but now we are facing the tightest time in our life financially. We can't even afford to feed the barn cats today.

If you've ever wanted to order anything from our site, now would be a great time. Heck I'll throw in a free comic to anyone that orders anything right now, just to show our thanks.

I'm sorry that I had to write this today.
