Al Gordon (as he is commonly known) has been doing that comic thing (thang) for lo these last twenty years, (which is actually older than my present gal friend) and has lent his Inker moniker to quite a few legendary-like titles in our fabulously fantastic, four-color universe: Spider-Man, Spider Woman, The Fantastic Four, The Justice League, The Legion of Super-Heroes, to name but an itty-bitty few. He also debuted his writing talents on that same Legion of Super-Heroes with kosmic Keith Giffen, moved on to writing and inking a Timber Wolf mini-series with jibin' Joe Phillips, and then up-shifted a boat-load of pulse-poundin' creative energy to his and jocular Jerry Ordway's Wickedly Wondrous creation... WildStar.

Al says that scribin' and inkin' WildStar was the way-coolest time he has ever spent in that muse-manic cacophony of creativity. Which sorta brings up a question Al and I get asked at just about every con we show our mugs at. "What the heck is going on with WildStar?" Good question. The sorry answer is that, a regular series is not affordable to do with the current market on life support. I know Al would love to do it, more than anything, after all, da Gordster says he was just gettin' his sea legs with this WildGuy when the comics industry took a flyin' nose dive. And in that dim light, this kaleidoscopicly crazy cyber-type comic-con is just what the physic ordered. So if you're interested we have a few groovy little goodies we'll be happy to part with if thou so desire. Check the side-bar for info on the WildStar Trade paperback, the four-ish mini series: WildStar: Sky Zero, and the first three issues of the regular WildStar series (with Chris "Madman" Marrinan penciling). If thou missed any of these pandemonius publications, this is the only place to procure them. They're in short supply so act fast.

Until most recently Big Al's been working with merry Alan (say no-) Moore, and Chris Sprouse, on a great book called Tom Strong, a sorta-symbolic, post-retro modern, semi-iconoclastic brand-new take on the SuperHero genre. Check it out at yer local comicbook type store.
