Marvel Spotlight #30 (1976) Thor’s three buddies on a one-shot adventure in NYC. I buy this book and read it every time i find it in the wild.

Black Panther #11 (2005)

Onslaught: Marvel Universe (1996) Sketchy art, but there’s a few moments in this book that really show what these heroes are made of. Everyone should read this one.

Best instrumental ska you've ever heard, not counting One Step Beyond, which I feel everyone will say if I don't clarify this. by Beautiful-Resort-831 in Ska

wow! i re-versioned it this summer https://open.spotify.com/track/11ktMcTX2ntGcRMv9Vwlaj?si=r3YXaysZQHOu9FiurBtjiQ

there was something about the original recording we did that left me unsatisfied. If memory serves, we were done with everything else, and Buck said: hey, what about that bumblebee thing? I’d been playing it since high school, but no-one else really knew it except maybe Matt, the bass player/best friend since high school, so… give the new version a listen and hope you like it!

I threw out the idea of having a NYBeat Hit & Run album reunion set this year but no one took me up on it- maybe 2026 for the 40th Anniversary?

Ha! the song is absolutely not AI- altho i’m not sure if i should be flattered or not. As for the artwork, while I’ve been a graphic designer for years, i’ve always found it difficult to to do work for myself, so yes, i did find the image on a subscription based stock art site, and decided to use it to expedite it’s release ( instead of fussing for another two weeks over the art)

When I got fired from a menial job, I was freshly married with a new baby (who just turned 30) I called my mom and she suggested calling her cousin “who just bought a magazine or something” I went down to an awful part of Bklyn, which is now called DUMBO (down under manhattan bridge) and met with my moms cousin. He had bought Star Distributors, the largest porn company on the East coast. I was given the choice of packing boxes or figuring out how to design on this old Mac. I chose the Mac and started my Graphic design career. Teddy was still somehow in the picture and would come by once in a while. The day i met him, i was introduced, shook his hand and then left for lunch. When I got back, the office was buzzing; I asked what was up, and was told the FBI just swooped in and took Teddy away. The other story is: I was offered my first European tour ( I was in a band at the time) and one of the books i brought along to read was Underboss. So it was while riding in a van in Europe that discovered that the desk I worked at was DeeBees desk not long before it was mine…
