In shops now – FAMOUS MONSTERS #291
Terror Begins at 40! I had a lot of fun covering ALIEN in the new issue of FAMOUS MONSTERS OF FILMLAND, on stands now. ALIEN is an incredible blend of old school cinematic parlor tricks and a relentless sense of new…a truly unique movie with a rich 40 year history. It’s hard to imagine pop…
This Week in Comics – August 7, 2019
Kicking off a new series on this blog, writing about the comics I pick up at the shop each week. There’s so much good stuff coming out right now, my brain is all itchy with that unmistakable desire to write about comics! So here we go. HOUSE OF X #2 – It’s so awesome to…
So I have a piece in “Pros and (Comic) Cons” from Dark Horse Comics!
So. See that cover? See those names? Brian Michael Bendis. Kieron Gillen. Jim Zub. Amy Chu. And more! That’s me. I’m the “and more!” !!! I’m very excited to announce that I have an essay/prose piece in this tremendous looking anthology project, helmed by editor Hope Nicholson and coming to comic shops and bookstores…
Famous Monsters of Filmland 290
I have two feature articles in this year’s edition of FAMOUS MONSTERS OF FILMLAND magazine! It’s a huge honor to contribute to this legendary magazine. I covered John Carpenter’s incendiary THEY LIVE for its 30th anniversary (spoiler alert- it’s as relevant today as ever!) and also the 35th anniversary of a small independent picture called…
A Big OI’ Update: Cons, Crisis Vector, Podcasts, and more!

Crisis Vector is Coming
Hey! Long time no blog. My site was hacked to the max, but the digital poison has been cleansed and I’m back in action! Lots to catch up on, but let’s start with this: CRISIS VECTOR. New comic. Three big issues. Full length. Full color. Full face melting. CRISIS VECTOR #1 kicks off the adventure…
Installing Doom
As a nerdy reclusive teenager from Massachusetts I made for a strange transplant to the wilds of Central Florida. Where I ended up on the outskirts of Orlando in the early ‘90s was more Dixie than Disney, and a level of raw violence permeated the humid air. The kids in my neighborhood were a curious…
Plastic City Comic Con 2017 Recap
This past weekend I attended the second Plastic City Comic Con. This year the show made the jump from a small VFW hall in Leominster to the mighty Wallace Civic Center in Fitchburg, Massachusetts. I saw my first concert at the Civic Center, and for decades the venue used to sub as the “Boston” leg…
“Independent punk rock master of darkness”
The good folks at Monkeys Fighting Robots were kind enough to do a Creator Spotlight write-up on me and highlight my recent comics Voodoo Bird and Crypt Zero. Writer Brandon Griffin described me as an “independent punk rock master of darkness”, which, y’know, I’ll take. Check out the feature here: http://www.monkeysfightingrobots.com/creator-spotlight-eric-radvon/
Colonial Comics: New England 1750 – 1775
Colonial Comics New England: 1750-1775 is here, and it is a great looking book. I’m humbled to be in the company of so many talented comic creators. The variety of styles, voices, and stories assembled by Jason Rodriguez and his team really makes this a unique and special collection. My contribution is titled “The Call…
Running on Empty in Winter 2017
Hello from the depths of winter 2017. My mental, physical, and spiritual reserves are at their natural nadir. The days are rusty gears grinding away- not much goes easy, but the job is getting done nonetheless. It was 65 degrees yesterday, in February, and the warm wind was exhilarating in its apocalyptic wrongness. I’ve moved,…
Cheap Thrills of a Cheap Age
So you kick out 3 million. Does the factory reopen? Do the shops come back to the decimated main street you walked as a kid? Do the Cadillacs roll by blasting something by Brenda Lee? Is everyone smiling and happy? Are things the way they ought to be? Maybe you hear less Spanish at the…
Crypt Zero – Postmortem ramblings about making an indie comic
This is the afterword for Crypt Zero, produced by the writer version of Erik Radvon, and axed from publication by the budget-minded publisher version of Erik Radvon. It is presented here as a companion piece to the comic book. Welcome to the Land of the Living, Crypt Zero All living things share the same plodding…
Every Second Counts – DC Universe Rebirth and the Rebellion of Hope
I’ve left my house at midnight for some ridiculous things before- movies, video games, unwise culinary selections- but Tuesday marked the first time I did it for a comic. The book in question is DC Universe Rebirth #1, the much-hyped reset of the DC Comics universe under the hand of writer Geoff Johns and a…
