Each week, the pop culture website Pop-A-Looza shares some posts from my vast 'n' captivating Boppin' (Like The Hip Folks Do) archives. The latest shared post is a look back at another one-page comics story I wrote and drew in high school, the grim 'n' gritty (and also dumb) Hero.
This piece was the second entry in my reminiscence He THOUGHT He Was An Artist! (Memoirs From Back At The Drawing Board), a series remembering my attempts to become a comics artist before I grew old enough to know better. Feel free to insert your own joke about me growing older without ever getting around to that "knowing better" part.
Re-reading the piece now, I realize that I promised (or maybe threatened) to follow up with a piece about my sketchbook from the mid '80s. I had forgotten all about that promise, but it ain't a bad a idea, so maybe I will get back to that in the not-too-distant future.
Meanwhile, we have a look back at a time when a square-peg 16-year-old tried his hand at creating an edgy pulp superhero story, and failed miserably. Hero is the latest Boppin' Pop-A-Looza.
