SUPERFOGEYS COLLECTIONS PRICE CHANGES
...and probably not the ones you're hoping for. We ran last year's numbers and did the math twice and...there's no choice now...we have to raise the prices on the SuperFogeys collections.
I hate doing this. I'm determined to make these books affordable so that anyone can pick 'em up, but, realistically, we never should have sold them at the price we have been. We've almost been breaking even with them, but not quite. One of those things where if we'd sold just 20 more copies then things might be different, but its early days still and I'm hopeful that in '09, with all the new books we'll be offering, we can turn this ship around.
So...for only a very short time more, the books are still available at the current price!
For the record, here's what we're offering currently in the SuperFogeys Store:
SuperFogeys Collection #1: Ch. 1, "Insane Romance From Hell" and Ch.2 "Bingo Night." Includes the exclusive-to-print features "Dear Dr. Rocket" and "A Moment with Swifty." Also featuring the bonus, exclusive-to-print, 3 page story "Operation: Valhalla" that acts as a prequel to Chapter 1 and features the first appearance of the Third Man (drawn by Mike Hartigan), sketches and commentaries.........$6.00
SuperFogeys Collection #2: Ch. 3, "The Techno Shuffle," reordered with most WebSpace pages placed in the back of the book for smoother reading experience. Also features the bonus, exclusive-to-print. 6 page story "Captain Spectacular and Star Maiden in the Inevitable Dimension" which tells the story of how the Captain and Star fell in love (drawn by Julio Molina-Muscara).......$5.00
SuperFogeys Collection #3: Ch. 4, "Dictator Tot's Revenge." Features the second, exclusive-to-print installment of "Dear Dr. Rocket." Also featuring the bonus, exclusive-to-print 11-page story "Cellmates" featuring Captain Spectacular, Spy Gal, Dr. Rocket and the Thrice Evil in a twisted tale of love, Unicef and peanut butter cookies (drawn buy Chip Skelton)........$5.00
Those are current prices. As of...very soon now...each of those prices will be raised by 50 cents! Get 'em now while they're cheap!
Also available in the store are SF T-Shirts and original art (and I do take requests on original art and the prices are negotiable on those--just email me at heasley (at) th3rdworld.com if you're interested)!
PRE-ORDER FOR SUPERFOGEYS COLLECTION #4
...is starting very soon! Most likely today or tomorrow. We're doing things a bit differently this time and not starting pre-orders until the book is entirely ready to go. So...for those of that have pre-ordered in the past and had to a wait a while...that's not gonna happen this time. Here's a peek at that:
SuperFogeys Collection #4: Ch. 5, "The Redemption of Dr. Rocket." Featuring the bonus, exclusive-to-print bonus story "Audition" featuring Captain Spectacular, Dr. Rocket, The Third Man and the Space Pig (drawn by Lucas Turnbloom). Also featuring "Erin's Comic" by Brock and Erin Heasley......Price TBA, (but most likely $5.50)
Soon as the pre-order is ready to go, look for the debut of the completed cover and more preview pages from the bonus stroy with amazing Lucas Turnbloom art on the "off days," i.e. Monday, Wednesday and Friday.)

Though it means nothing, I just happen to be preparing my Cold War lesson to teach my high schoolers tomorrow. I am starting the McCarthyism unit. The timing on that joke was perfect for me.gillybean1 says...

Mike J. - TL is the man.Tad - You just have to face it. I have access to your brain and I steal all my best ideas from you.
Gillybean1 - TL's version of Jerry really inspired me to use him more than I was originally going to in this story. He has a great moment during the heat of battle later on that I can't wait to get to.
Greg B. - Yeah, it's the nose, right? Love the way TL draws that. As for the first frame...is it okay to say that that is one of the my most favorite things I've ever written?
Stonehydra - Not one bit. And why should he? Jerry's got a sweet gig.
Tyler D. - Actually, you can. You'd just have to deal with your wife not going anywhere with you.
Miss Annoying - Me too. Luckily, I have a cupcake stashed in my desk (true story).
Birddog - Thanks, man! Just to be clear...they're not trades. Hopefully we'll have some trades eventually, but the comics that are on sale right now are like regular, pamphlet style comics. It's good stuff though, I promise!

TL really seems to have settled into his SuperFogeys chair. The story is great too. You guys are a dynamic duo for reals!bullfinch says...

Thanks guys! We've got some really cool pages coming up later this month, too. The scripts have been getting better and better as we add in more action, lots of fun stuff to draw.Greg Bulmash says...

@Brock: Totally the nose. Today's chapter of "Hell on $5 a Day" (on my blog, click my name to visit) has one of my favorite single sentences I've ever written. Describing the voice of the demon Asmodeus... "It was an awful, flatulent voice, like a chorus of a thousand tubas made flesh."Brock says...
posted 3/3/09 7:20 pm
Wit - I humbly agree. Working with TL is smooth process and I could not be happier with the results.Bullfinch - Dude, I'm so glad you feel that way. As you know, lots of action in the back half of this origin. Can't wait to get to it.
Greg B. - Dang. That is a really well written sentence. I'm jealous.

Tyler Durden - It was totally legal in the DR at the time, and everyone was doing it back then, it was the culture of capes and tights, ...insert long 40 second fake and uncomfortable pause... thank you.Norm says...

How did captain spectacular keep the bowtie on? I mean what is it cliping onto?Brock says...
posted 3/4/09 12:35 pm
Tyler D. - Well, I think of Jerry as being about 12-years-old here. Give or take. How bulky were you at that age? Oh, wait. You're Tyler Durden. Never mind.Michael D. - Nice.
Norm - Thanks, man! It's my favorite quote from him, in some parallel universe.
DoctorParadox - Tell you what, you tell me how Robin keeps his mask on and I'll tell you how CS keeps his bow tie on. Deal?

All around great page. I'm not sure whether covering up a bit of the banner in panel 1 kills the joke for a lot of people or just makes it funnier when you figure out what is being hidden.Skeptible says...

DUH. And NOW I notice that the same slogan is on the chalkboard. Not feeling so clever now.
