Cowboy Pete Doesn't Have to Torch Torchwood

So there's been this series on Starz now for a while calling itself "Torchwood." And to Americans who weren't previously familiar with the series, they might well have accepted it at face value. Me, I found it interesting enough and I kept coming back. But as week after week passed, I started to become increasingly [...]

News Flash

Exclusive to this site, here's a behind the scenes photo from the recording session for my second season episode of "Young Justice."

Back from West Coast

Caroline and I have returned from our excursion to the West Coast. Specifics below. 1) The recording session for "Young Justice" was great. Terrific group of actors.

The Trial of the (Last) Century

Originally published October 27, 1995, in Comics Buyer's Guide #1145 (A promise to readers: The following will, ultimately, have something to do with comics. I swear.)

Hi. Remember me?

Caroline's with me, giving Kathleen the time she needs to focus on various projects for Dragon*Con. Tomorrow Caroline [...]

For instance, there is intense discussion over an amendment to the Irish constitution. While in America we have heated debates over [...]

Elementary, my Dear Virginia

Well, actually Middle School, not Elementary. Apparently "A Study in Scarlet"–the introduction to Sherlock Holmes–has been removed from a reading list in the Albermarle school district in Virginia because there were objections to the way Mormons were portrayed in it (since they were essentially depicted as a murdering, blackmailing cult). In case you're keeping score, [...]

"Camelot Papers" at Dragon*Con

I've been asked if I'm going to be selling copies of the trade paperback of "The Camelot Papers" at Dragon*Con. Yes and no. I have a limited number of uncorrected proofs that I'm selling as collector's items. They are significantly more than the on line price of $15.99. So if you want to obtain autographed [...]
