FCBM4 Day 30.5

It's still day thirty of the fourth annual YACB Free Comic Book Month; let's give away more free comics!

Our next selected entry is from Andrew Wales, who listed his five comics as:

1. Omega the Unknown
2. Iron Fist
3. Captain America
4. Avengers Classic
5. Phase 7

With Omega, I see that Andrew likes at least some of his super-hero comics with an indy flavor. So I'm sending him Superior Showcase #1, with stories about super-heroes by Nick Bertozzi, Mike Dawson & Dean Trippe.

For Andrew's bonus comic, I'm sending him the Iron Man ashcan.

Andrew's comics should be in the mail within a week. Enjoy!

Invisible Sex

Today's Bizarro cartoon is brought to you by Illusory Liaisons Motel. Hourly rates available.

I like this cartoon a lot for reasons I'm not entirely sure of. As pathetic as it is, the combination of two imaginary relationships with low enough self-esteem to invent them double-crossing you is funny to me. The ultimate defeatist.

There may also be an autobiographical element in this one. I caught my first wife cheating on me and it led to a divorce and the most difficult year of my life. In the midst of that storm the anguish seemed it would never end, but twelve years later, the episode has no more hold on me than the memory of a bad bout of flu. A valuable lesson learned.

Now all my imaginary friends are eunuchs and CHNW won't let me have a make-believe girlfriend, so I'm safe on all fronts.

FCBM4 Day 30

It's day thirty of the fourth annual YACB Free Comic Book Month!

Our next selected entry is from Jeff Erhart, who listed his five comics as:

1. Midnight Nation
2. The Witchblade
3. Sandman
4. Strange Detective Tales
5. Batman: Dark Victory

Jeff says that he's new to comics, so I'm betting that he hasn't yet read Brian K. Vaughan & Tony Harris's Ex Machina. So I'm sending him issue #21, the start of the "Smoke Smoke" story arc.

For Jeff's bonus comic, I'm sending him the Uncle Scrooge ashcan.

Jeff's comics should be in the mail within a week. Enjoy!
