Me and Ron, “Kevin Smith”-ing…
I was pleased to recently hang with my friend Ron Marz (DC / Marvel / CrossGen / Dark Horse / Image …you get the idea), the comic industry writing Legend and all around Great Guy.
He was very helpful in guiding me when I wrote, edited, and produced my own comic anthology.
If there’s anyone, anywhere who spins a better Silver Surfer yarn, I don’t know who it is. And, for my money, his Justice League: Endless Winter graphic novel stacks up against any other JLA adventure.
As we posed for pics, I suggested we do a ‘Kevin Smith’ and he knew exactly what I meant.

“Advice”
Folks, I’m telling you,
birthing is hard
and dying is mean-
so get yourself
a little loving
in between.
