Makes the comics. Creator/writer/artist of sci-fi bounty hunter Mercy St. Clair:TREKKER. Past work: DC, Dark Horse, Marvel, etc. WARNING: Also spins vinyl while drawing and overshares about that. trekkerkickstarter.com

THANK YOU to the fans, friends, fellow creators and to the staff and crew that made Rose City Comic Con 2026 such a fun and successful weekend. I was thrilled to reconnect with so many wonderful people over these past three days, and can’t wait to do it again in 2027. See you then!

A nice moment from ten years ago. We still don’t have Trekker in theaters or streaming, but I do have this rather nifty signed photo. The vision of Katee Sackhoff as Mercy warms the heart, doesn’t it?

Sunday matinee concert. Leonard Cohen Live In London, 7/17/2008 Leonard Cohen's sophisticated, worldly music, and his darkly smokey voice, are probably best suited for a late night cabaret show, but a cloud-shrouded, rainy afternoon such as I'm currently enjoying also works as a fitting setting.

Double-tap time! Just a quick note that the new COVID vaccine for '26-'27 is out now, and available at *some* locations. We just popped in to get our flu shots, and when I asked when the new COVID jabs would be coming in, they said, "We got 'um", so 2 pokes it was and, unusually, just before RCCC.

Working on the last chapter of this big TREKKER journey that I kicked off with Dark Horse forty(!) years ago has both me and Mercy reflecting on some highlights from her past. Immensely grateful for crowdfunding and the backer support that's made it possible to reach this long-planned resolution.

World keeps getting more ridiculous, to put it mildly. Might be good for the heart to pause and appreciate some more musicians, all in their eighties and still with us, who've been bringing us rich musical gifts for decades.

Weekend Concert! This massive four-record set from Kate Bush, documenting her return to the stage after a 35-year (!) absence, is NOT the place to start with Kate. But for the serious Kate-ophile, it's got plenty of immaculate performances and works as a terrific, extensive career overview.

Four Eighty. In the light of Dolly and Tim Curry's recent passings, I've been playing some of the giants that we still have among us. Here's four, all over eighty. These aren't their most iconic albums, but examples of how rich their bodies of work are. And don't even get me started on Dylan...
