Even though I don't think Amazon will be offering it until 2/4/20, I got my author's copies from McFarland and am VERY proud. ;-) Secondary Superheroes of Golden Age Comics covers the histories of 1940's superheroes that don't usually get as much attention as the Big Boys, i.e., companies like Centaur, Harvey, MLJ (later Archie), Nedor, Lev Gleason, Prize, and all the rest. I've always wanted to have an in-depth centralized history of the "other" heroes of the time, such as the Shield, the Black Cat, Crimebuster, Blue Beetle, Black Terror, Dynamic Man, Frankenstein, and all the rest. So I ended up writing one. At about 450 pages, it does the job quite nicely, I think. Here's a link to our first review:

Gonna thank Bud Plant for it and hope you'll read and enjoy the book and the review.
In other news, I'm researching for an upcoming Frankenstein book and doing a script for an upcoming CREEPS. Other goodies should be coming up this year, both in prose and comics. Stay tuned!
