Al Schroeder interviews Steven Charles Manales, the creator of Superslackers, the winner of last year's Ignatz award for webcomics.

Al Schroeder talks with Thomas Floyd, the creator of the retro-pulp fiction action hero Captain Spectre.

We talk to Floyd about his own creation, his appreciation for the great pulp characters of the past and his plans in comics.
Abby L., the creator of The Green Avenger, has created the Peter Parker of super-heroines… fallible, fun, realistic-looking and prone to weight fluctuations.

The government has used reverse-time engineering to eliminate most of the "facts" of my existence from the Bose-Einsteinian timestream. From what I've been able to gather over the last four years of espionage and adventuring, I was once in line to become the emir of Kazakhstan until American oil barons decided it wasn't in their best interests to see me sitting on a vast, untapped field of fourth-quarter profits.
I might also be George Clooney, but I've yet to find any real, hard evidence for that.
