Art Post: Mighty Morphing Music Rangers-Blue Blues
Finishing up the art for this year (Pro Wrestling Chapter 2 will continue but at the moment it looks it will be after the holidays) we continue our look at the Mighty Morphing Music Rangers. Since the Red Ranger went the reggae route, the Blue Ranger seemed a bit obvious.

Patricia Alice Albrecht, RIP
Just got the email a few hours ago. Patricia Alice Albrecht passed away December 25, 2019.
You may not recall her name, but if you grew up in the 80's odds are good you remember her from Jem and the Holograms where she played the main villain Pizzazz to utter perfection.
Albrecht may not have had the longest career when compared to her contemporaries, but she more than made up for it with the quality of her work.
She was also the first people we interviewed in person. Her interview was a delight and she showed a saintly amount of patience for a couple of dudes with a tape recorder. She also played along when she agreed to a phone interview with us and Elsa Hansen (of Maven of the Eventide fame) for a bit that we tried to make work, involving dueling Pizzazzs. The fact that the bit was as usable as it was speaks highly both performer's skills.
She was living in Nashville where she worked in poetry. In lieu of flowers, please consider making a donation to her favorite charity Free for Life.

Art Post: Mighty Morphing Music Rangers-Red Reggae
While we wait for the last two pages of Pro Wrestling the Comic lets take a look at a silly series.
Mighty Morphing Music Rangers!
A silly idea that sprung upon me suddenly and thus was born the Red Reggae Ranger.

Merry Christmas!
Enjoying a fine day of holiday specials and endless variations on Dickens' A Christmas Carol.
More work will be appearing here in the upcoming year. Be sure to check in February for our 4th Annual Bring on the Bad Guys. We'll be taking a look at the Golden Age Green Lantern, a surprise for this summer with our Summer of Love(craft) and of course more horror and horror hosts during October.

Art Post: Star Falls
From Chris Wharton
I fell into Gravity Falls by accident but I found myself engaged with the mystery and humor. Star VS the Forces of Evil was ok, but I was struck by the idea of the two main characters having a moment.

Freddy vs. Jason (2003)
Freddy vs. Jason (2003) dir. Ronny Yu, New Line Cinema/Crystal Lake Entertainment
This is it. For most people in my generation this would be our King Kong vs Godzilla or Frankenstein Meets the Wolfman. Teased at the end of Jason Goes to Hell, we had to go to space first before we finally got to see the Momma's Boy take on the Springwood Slasher.

Art Post-Bible John Pettigrew
While we're waiting for Pro Wrestling Chapter 2, I ventured down into the vaults of my crackerbox palace and low I found a gem.
I met artist Val Mayerik in Cross Plains during a celebration of author Robert E. Howard.
I had a vision of noted actor Peter Cushing as a Wild West gunslinger. So why not combine the two?
The character strolled through dusty streets, a gun on his hip and a bible in his hand. Who is the man called Bible John?

Art post: Ragnar the Warrior
Well I hoped to have the next page of Pro Wrestling: The Comic ready, but 'twas not meant to be today.
So what to do?
I was scrolling through the 'net, as one does, and I found a toyline that I had never heard of before. Dragonriders of the Styx was a short lived line made by DFC around the early 80's.
No plot, but the characters had names at least. The idea is you would come up with the whole 'good guy/bad guy' ideal. So here's Ragnar the Warrior. Is he a hero, villain? You choose!

Pro Wrestling: The Comic Chapter 2
For those who came in late, last year I put up a small comic based on the old NES game Pro Wrestling. So, since sequels are all the rage why not a follow up?
