Hi, Friends!

Can you believe it’s already Wednesday?  Where the heck did the week go!  Sheesh.

We got in a fresh new shipment of our trade-paperback, “Johnny Saturn: Synns of the Father,” today.  We are expecting our shipment of Johnny Saturn no. 9 any day now, but very likely this week.  This gives me a warm heart.

A Conversation with Benita Story, Co-Writer on Johnny Saturn, by Scott Story

Most of you know it by now, but Benita Story is an integral part of the team that creates Johnny Saturn. She is also my wife. What follows is a casual conversation about what she does, and her views on it.

Manny Calabria wondered just how far he would have to hike along the interstate before someone gave him ride.  Probably all the way to Indianapolis, he thought wryly.  Dirty, tattered and bloody as he was, everyone probably assumed he was dangerous and passed him by.  Normally, he was dangerous, but not tonight.

Decorum did not see the bomb coming.  Rather, she saw Detective Buchanan and his remaining two men leap from their cover behind the crates and run, hell-bent for leather.  When she turned to see what had spurred them to flight, the silver ball that had so recently mounted Dr. Synn’s cane rolled under Bombastic and Shadowcowl.

This is from the blog Topics For All, posted on February 10, 2009.  Unfortunately, I couldn’t find the author’s name, even if I like what he says:

Johnny Saturn

Designed by Benita and Scott Story, Johnny Saturn gave a new definition to the concept of web comic. There is a main super-hero tale at the core with a mystery man that’s been through lots of challenges in a life where there is an eternal battle between the forces of good and evil.

Hi, Folks!

This is a short presentation Benita and I brainstormed to be delivered at a recent Writer’s Retreat. This might be of some assistance to those prose writers who are looking to break into the graphic novel or webcomic scene.

Dr. Horatio Synn climbed down from the semi truck’s cab, surveyed the scene, and clucked in disapproval—these meddlesome meta-heroes had made a real mess of things!  It had taken a mere forty-five seconds for the mercenaries, who had dominated the police, to fall before the two vigilantes.  This would not do.
