Back around 1980, DC Comics announced that they would be revisiting the Dial “H” for Hero concept. They would debut the new series in Adventure Comics using ideas sent in from readers.

See, the whole Dial “H” thing made the heroes change identities each time they used the dial. So, after a few days of drawing and provide some background ideas on each character, I sent in my entries.

A few months later, the series debuted but with no sight of any of my characters. Fast forward a few issues, we made a trip downtown to pick up some comics as we were gearing up to drive down to San Diego/Tijuana to visit family. I need something to read, so the comic shop was a must stop. I got my usual assortment of books and we went home to pack.

By the time we got home, I had glanced at some of the books and made my way to Adventure Comics #481. After getting near the end, I saw my name attached to the Stellar character. Looking back at the cover, my design was also used for the cover. Cool!

We realized we needed more copies. A quick run back to the comic shop and we loaded up with probably twenty copies of that issue which were mostly distributed to family.

Every so often, I buy a copy of that issue. Eventually, Gabriel will see my brief entry into the comic world, too.

As many of you probably know may 2nd is national free comic book day. So I hit up a couple of my local comic book stores and I was able to get 56 free comics!
Also every few months (usually each season) my local Walmart has a lego sponsored free building event, where anybody can come in and build a model out of a certain amount of pieces. This time around it was a flower (spring/mothers day).

Have you ever had anyone tell you to stay out of an argument because it doesn’t involve you? Do private disputes really stay private, or do they have a larger effect on the world around them? What if a domestic disturbance caused a ghostly disturbance?

Mike and Angie are just another couple on just another Friday Night date having just another argument. But this time it doesn’t stay between the two of them. This time their fighting stirs something in the nether world--something that threatens the entire city.

Only a lone wanderer can save them.
