THE OVER THE HILL GANG

Over on Twitter, the brilliant Kevin Maguire shared this amazing piece of art:  his vision of what our JLI would look like today (y'know, if comic book characters aged in real time).


And I can't help thinking he found his inspiration in this photo my wife took at DragonCon back in 2019...


To which I can only add:  "Bwah-ha-ha!"

THE GREATS

I recently took part in a podcast tribute to one of the Marvel's greatest—and, for many of us, most influential—writers:  the brilliant, iconoclastic Steve Gerber.  You can listen to it here.


And speaking of all-time greats:  Here's a tribute to George Perez, a man whose art and storytelling has shaped, and enriched, the worlds of both Marvel and DC.  George has pancreatic cancer and, tragic as that is, it's heartening to see the tributes pouring in while he's still with us.  God bless you, George.

AMARTITHI 2022

On January 31, 1990, I sat just outside Meher Baba's Tomb-Shrine in Meherabad, India, my head resting against the cool stone, surrounded by thousands of His dear ones—all of us joined in fifteen minutes of silence to commemorate the day when the Avatar of the Age dropped His body to live on in the hearts of His lovers. It was a profound, unique, and unforgettable experience that bypassed the mind and settled into the deeps of my soul. It lives there still.

Wishing a very Happy Amartithi to my Meher Baba family around the world.
