When Prince Adam of Eternia would raise his mighty sword above his head, he could exclaim âI⦠Have⦠the⦠POWER!â and with it transform into He-Man. This would turn his pink and maroon body suit into merely a manly loincloth and pec-harness combo. He would be granted a physique that would make Vince McMahon want…
Of the many treasures IâÂÂve collected since making comics, the friendships gained are the most valuable. One such friendship, with writer and artist Jim McClain, stands above and beyond nearly any other â save perhaps only for my frenemy Dan Dougherty (a.k.a. âÂÂBeardoâÂÂ). For those who arenâÂÂt in the know, Jim represents literally the best…
I’m a fan of eating crow. Truly a student from the school of tough love. The other day I happened to be perusing my archive of articles here on ComicMix when I hit on the one where I vowed to buy more indie books. That article was published August 14, 2014. Shortly after it hit…
Barely six days ago from the time this article prances across the interwebs to be posted to my little corner here at ComicMix, I will have once again broke bread with our ol’ E-I-C Mike Gold.

Following up on my column last week, I had to sit down and really ask myself what it would take to sell me on a comic book. Not to toot my horn of Stereotypical Jewishness, but the thought of wasting as few as five dollars on a product I won’t wholly appreciate causes me to…
And he’ll do it, too! All it will take is getting the crowdfunding for Dan’s book Beardo above $5000, and our own Marc Alan Fishman will be taken off the leash to start shaving things off. Dan foolishly agreed, never thinking we’d get close to his precious beard… mwahahahahah. First we remove the sideburns. Then…
Beardo is the back to back winner of the prestigious Shel Dorf Award for Syndicated Print Strip of the Year (2012 and 2013), and Beardo is the alter-ego of award-winning writer, artist, and musician Dan Dougherty. ComicMix is bringing the first three volumes of Beardo back into print and adding the fourth book in the…
