Before I get down to wheeling and dealing today's ten new illos, I'd like to make a few publishing announcements and offer a few links of personal interest.

First off, I've been informed by several readers out there that the 50th issue of CAPTAIN AMERICA with my two page tribute to the Sentinel of Liberty (colored ever so niftily by Chris Giarusso--I've seen scans, if not the actual comic) hit the stands this very week!! It may be only a scant pair of pages, but remember--one Hembeck page promises double (and sometimes triple) the reading enjoyment of most other scribe's single pages, so if you're so inclined, I suggest you seek it out, and I sure do hope you like it!! (And if you do, TELL someone! Like, hmm, maybe Tom Brevoort?...)

I'm doubly delighted to report that my ten page "Petey" epic, "Loa and Order", guest starring the Drumm brothers, is scheduled to appear in the very next issue of AMAZING SPIDER-MAN FAMILY, number seven, out in one short month!! Again, while there are high hopes and tentative plans for more such stories (you DO want to witness young Petey Parker's first meeting with Johnny Storm, don't you?...), it wouldn't hurt my chances any if you'd drop a line saying as much to one of the Mighty Marvel Big-Wigs!!

Beyond that, I'd like to take a second to officially congratulate my buddy, Roger Green, and his lovely missus, Carol, on chalking up a full decade of marriage--to each other, even!! This notable event took place last week whilst I was off-line and visiting--oddly enough--the honeymoon capital of the world, Niagara Falls!! Significant of nothing, I suppose, both worth a mention just the same!! In any event, big-time congrats to both Roger and Carol--and as long as you two stay clear of Angelina Jolie, I'm sure everything will be fine!...

Then there's my OTHER old buddy, Rocco Nigro, who's finally joined the internet revolution with a blog of his own, "On The Rocs"! He's just getting started up, but you can still go check out some of his intriguingly surrealistic art, as well as a review of that recently published collection of Golden Age Boody Rogers stories!! Nice job, fella--now we just need to get you on Facebook where you can mingle with the likes of yours truly and the faux Bob Crumb...

Well, that brings our pre-commercial commercial announcements to an end--now, LET THERE BE ART!! (Um, but you'll have to go over to today's Fred Sez blog entry to see it...)

Just read your Cap strip last night and enjoyed it - nothing like a shared memory of an old Marvel comic to bring a smile to the face.

All right!  That's TWO Marvel mags I'll have to pick up now!
