Our story “Fury: part 2” in The Phantom issue 2000, out now in newsagents and comic book stores. @backflip_bacchi and I pit Old Lady Julie Walker up against bushrangers and pirates.

Been a nice couple of months of other Phantom story releases of mine, you might also be able to find issues 1995, 1996 and 1998 still in stores also, otherwise check the bio for website with links to Frew.

So, Billy Zane kindly stopped by the #FrewPublications booth last weekend, and picked up a copy of The Phantom #2000, which had our comic story “Fury: part2” inside. That’s not bad, right?
Amanda @backflip_bacchi was pleased with receiving a Zane fist bump.

The Phantom #2000 out across Australia in newsagents tomorrow with a fantastic @picci8 cover, and stories from @julieditrich @wendell.cavalcanti @piddeandersson @giancarlocaracuzzo Tony DePaul, Bret Blevins, Lee Falk, Wilson McCoy and Ray Moore.

You can also find back issues of my stuff on the Frew table, incl. Kid Phantom, the 75th anniversary issue, and the sketch cover edition of my boxing special which I can scribble a drawing on for you.

My pinup page from last month’s release of “The Human Fly #4”.
Had fun with these “Hey! what if The Human Fly…” fake cover adventure pinup ups; The Fly was active in real life and in Marvel Comics in the ‘70s, so I liked to hinge his exploits around that time for these silly ideas.
Cheers to IPI Comics/Human Fly International for the fun side gig, and congrats to editor & writer Chris Sequeira, artist Jan Scherpenhuizen, writer & editor Jason Franks and co. for their mini series.
Here’s the others from #3 and #1.

I mean, if I could have, I would have.

I mean, if I could have, I would have.

It’s in print, my comp copy of The Phantom #1996 arrived in the mail today. You’ll find it tomorrow in Australian newsagents & subscribed comic stores.

The Phantom: Vietnam chapter 10 - “Going Up the Country”.

Thank you Frew and King Features. This one-off official/unofficial team up/homage is the dumbest, proudest thing I’ve written and drawn in comics 😅
Blame the Fleischers and EC Segar.

Happy birthday to the late Lee Falk; Born on this day in 1911. A play writer, theatre director/producer, and writer and creator of The Phantom, and Mandrake the Magician.

Since late 2016 with Frew, I’ve been fortunate to be able to in the Phantom sandbox Falk began in 1936 with Ray Moore(then Wilson McCoy and Sy Barry), including iterations of their daily strip and Sunday comic strip stories. The fun part is finding the classic and forgotten Falk characters; I’m currently drawing a story with an old villain of his.

Anyways, here’s a few example variations of Falk characters:
an older version of Julie Walker the 17th Phantom’s sister (with co-writer @backflip_bacchi), young Kit Walker (Kid Phantom for 11 issues, a short film, merch and board game) as well as Young Mandrake, with KP series writer @aconstantwriter in Kid Phantom #6 (2018).

Next week’s issue of The Phantom #1996 (out in stores Thursday 1st May), has the next chapter of The Phantom: Vietnam; Chapter 10 “Going up the Country…” It was probably my favourite just for the log line pitch. Thanks to Frew for going to bat, and KFS approving my silly idea. Comics are fun, sometimes.

Shocked and saddened at the news of the sudden passing of Sabum Joel Muyot from the ACT. Always struck me as a very kind and friendly man, and I think the majority of any photo evidence of us at seminars and training and tournaments over the years was because of Sabum behind the camera. Hadn’t crossed paths in a little while, but he was always smiling when I did. He is a friend I will miss. Love and condolences to his close family and friends. Taekwon, Sabum. 👊

Goodnight Ladybird ❤️
Our small, fiery old matriarch has closed her eyes one last time. Hatched from an egg in 2017, good for occasional hugs when she wasn’t bossing around the others or chasing flies and lizards around the yard, or hogging the dirt patches. She was great at warning the others of overhead “danger” ie: anything flying over with a shadow, and was first to know when we’d accidentally brought home a baby rooster by yelling at us for weeks until we found out ourselves 😅

Strange how much you love and get sad and miss a chicken, even when they were a bit of a bully at times. Our loveable bully. 🐔 Our small flock misses you.

Happy Birthday to the Great American cartoonist Sy Barry, who turned 97 this week.

One of the last “golden age” comic artists, he worked at Timely (Marvel), and DC comics, before heading to syndicated comic strip art, and modernised and reshaping the Phantom comic strip in the 1960s. Sy worked on the strip for over 3 decades, before retiring in the 1990s. He still paints and draws today. An inspiring figure for certain. He’s appeared in two of my Phantom comics, here’s some kind words that one of my best mates managed to get from Sy in person a few years ago (thanks Duncan). We merely walk in the footsteps of giants. Cheers to Sy!

Haven’t been to a formal class in a while; lost interest with grief etc. But I’ll go back eventually. Have tried to keep it up. Here’s a recent Sunday arvo.

Bruce Lee use to say Martial Arts was a way of “honestly expressing yourself”. I still have a man half my age in my head telling me the things I “should” be doing, or what I “use” to be able to do. But, from time to time I record my later rounds (bits of 8, 9,10 you see here) because that’s where the form needs to count. Not the first few, when I’m fresh.
I see the mistakes. But there’s gratitude for still being able to move around a little and having the freedom to record myself like a wanker.

I also remember it’s suppose to be “fun”, right? My doctor tells me that, as well as exercise is good for my brain, and though it’s felt like a slog for a while, the arthritic hip brings a bit of chronic pain, and the shoulder and wrists have niggles, I still have to find the “fun” in doing this stuff. And see an acupuncturist.

The aim is eventually stop the brain from thinking it has to train for another world championship, and that I am not 20 anymore (and that’s ok I suppose, those days have passed). So here I am expressing myself, even if this sat in drafts for a while.

My two cents for the day is if you plan on being an artist for your living/part of your living, try and look after the engine.
