Happy 2021! We made it out of 2020…kind of. I don’t know about you, but I’m a bit numb from the events yesterday in Washington D.C. We’re in the midst of dangerous days and there’s a strange lingering sensation that this isn’t the last of it quite yet. But alas, I hold out hope that…
CRISIS VECTOR has gone digital! The current COVID lockdown is a bummer, with many of us around the world sheltered in place. I hope you all are staying home and staying healthy. Going out for comics is on hold for the time being, so I’ve made CRISIS VECTOR #1 and #2 available as digital editions…
Howdy all! Hope you are doing well, staying isolated, and feeling healthy in these strange pandemic days. Speaking honestly, there have been peaks of occasional worry bordering on panic, a numb sense of disbelief, stretches of boredom, and a million things in between. I think have a newborn here certainly adds to ol’ emotional workload….
I’m not sure when I first caught the news of the novel coronavirus, now called COVID-19, but it was early. It was a back page kind of story, relegated to science and health column or international news sections. What struck me immediately was the scale. “Wuhan, a city of 11 million…” the articles would flatly…
I sit here on the cusp of what can only be called some major shit. Tomorrow, my wife and I check into the hospital to begin the modern medical procedure known as “birth.” It’s been 9 impossibly long months in the making, with the day of arrival a white-hot point of focus leading us on…
I have a piece in the new anthology PROS AND (COMIC) CONS from Dark Horse Comics and Bedside Press. My lil essay “A Lonely Place of Trying” delivers a stream of consciousness look at the mind of a writer (me) hanging in Artist Alley at comic conventions. Short version: It’s a weird experience. This is…
It was released in 1999, but in many ways STAR WARS EPISODE 1: THE PHANTOM MENACE stands as the first movie of the 21st century. It cleared the path for an entirely new way to produce movies, and fought against enormous headwinds from an industry entrenched in a byzantine system of inflexible and expensive analog…
Our guinea pig passed away this week. She was 10, which is ancient for a guinea pig. Google tells me the average life expectancy is 4-8, so she well exceeded that. She fought hard and was relatively healthy and normal right up until her final afternoon, but alas, the reaper man finally came a-knockin’. Ten…
CRYPT ZERO is an independently published comic book written and produced by me, Erik Radvon, with art by Rob Croonenborghs and letters by Micah Myers. Spaceman-for-hire Commander Dal is sent to a remote planet on a scouting mission. He finds an ancient crypt and a whole lotta talking dead things. A pulpy sci-fi thriller in…
My lil’ comic story VOODOO BIRD is now free to read! VOODOO BIRD is a comic written and produced by me, Erik Radvon, featuring art by Rob Croonenborghs and letters by Micah Myers. Inspired by the long-running “Tharg’s Future Shocks” segment found in British comic magazine 2000 A.D., this short story tells the tale of a hot…
Another year comes to a close. This was a really busy one for me. I turned 37 this year, and I felt the numerology was in my favor to do some ambitious projects. First and foremost, I put together a team and produced a new comic series called CRISIS VECTOR. Things kicked off in January,…
I was a guest on the podcast SciFi Saturday Night! I talk with host Dome about my “career,” if you can call it that. A strange but I think enjoyable experience. I think. Anyways, listen to me drone on and behold the splendor of my provincial accent, if that’s your thing. Thanks to the SciFi…
Ethan Hawke cuts a lean figure in the equally lean and potent First Reformed from writer and director Paul Schrader. Hawke stars as Rev. Toller, a pastor tending to the needs of a cold little church in a cold little town in upstate New York. The parish has its 250th anniversary celebration approaching, and multiple…
I just wrapped 3 days at Northeast Comic Con in Boxboro, MA. I didn’t know what to expect from this show– it was my first time doing it, and it fell on the weekend following Thanksgiving. Would anyone be around? Would Black Friday and football syphon off any interest? Would people be too hungover from…
Happy Thanksgiving! If you’re reading this chances are you’re my friend, family, or a very stubborn Spambot. In any case, if we’re connected on any level you should know that you’re dear to me, whether I’ve known you for 20 years or we just chat about video games. I’m thankful for you all. It’s been…
