FUN ADVENTURE COMICS! #14: A MIRACULOUS, CREEPY AND SENTIMENTAL HIGH!!!

Thanks to Warren Montgomery's Will Lill (Publishing), readers are treated to another trio of terrific tales in Fun Adventure Comics! #14.

Writer Lloyd Smith (creator of Ash-Aman) and artist Joe Koziarski present a miraculous appearance by super-scientific Max Miracle, a superhero of far-out, inter-dimensional design in "Liv Elaine at the Center of the Universe". 

In this instance, we find grad student, Liv prepared to teleport into that titular "center", but things are never as they seem. When the set-up goes awry (and boy, does it ever!), the metamorphic Miracle is prepared to remedy the matter in an adventure that's as thrilling as it's bizarre. Fans of old-time science fiction will be pleased and elated by the imaginative ingredients that Smith and Koziarski stir...

Then writer Ron Fortier and artist Rob Davis give us "Tales from the Mother Road", featuring kismet-kissed characters, Little Doc and Wishbone Charlie Beaumont. The duo's sojourn sports a sweet twist which demonstrates that good deeds always pay off. 

I gotta say, the story made me misty-eyed, but then the best life-lesson tales will do that to any of us. Fortier and Davis sure did hit the sentimental jackpot with this one...

In the third story, Jonathan A. Gilbert and artist Lee Melton present statuesque, bounty hunter, Karen Le'Court in a cool, little riddle entitled "A Chitown Story", where our intrepid, Gadsper Corp mercenary encounters a gang of cruel cosplayers in doleful Detroit.

Le'Court has only her physical prowess to ward off the maddening eccentrics, in a reckless rumpus that culminates in a chilling cliffhanger. Can't wait for the next Fun Adventure Comics! to see how Gilbert and Melton resolve our heroine's stupefying predicament...

Issue #14's entries create the sort of flavorful consortium that one won't find in most comics these days, but that's what makes Warren Montgomery's Will Lill publications so darn special. Fun Adventure Comics! will please those who desire something new with a dash of the traditional: a great, ongoing anthology of diverse wonderment from the best writers/artists around.

FUN ADVENTURE COMICS! #13: SCARES, BATTLES AND GUFFAWS!!!

Will Lill's Fun Adventure Comics #13 is here!!! Dig that moody, Warren Montgomery cover of disguise-shifting Mister Chameleon. It sure does set this issue's magnetic tone. 

Mister Chameleon's latest chapter is penned by mastermind Jonathan Gilbert and graced by Mike Dougherty and R. Humble's enriching artwork. 

This time our crusader pursues a viral weapon in "The Silver Canister Incident". Can our hero seize the device before disaster strikes? As fans well know, Mister Chameleon is far too crafty to let any such harm come to the world, but his quest proves a real spine-tingler all the same.  

Issue #13's second story is a new King Jupiter and the Rockets exploit called "The Runaway Guitar", where a desperate, three-eyed entity steals the titular instrument, and in so doing, keeps our robotic band on the run.

Writer Troy Vevasis injects the mayhem with great gusto, as does Denis Pacher's lively imagery, the combination of which smacks not only of Rocky Jones and Tom Corbett, but such slapstick, kiddie shows as "The Monkees", "The Banana Splits" and "The Kids from C.A.P.E.R." (BTW: The King Jupiter panel supplied for this post is a b/w variant; the printed deal is in blazing color.)

The eerie third entry, "Battle of the Dulce", comes from writer Steve Perry, with riveting artwork by Steve Williams and Stuart Berryhill. The story depicts the plight of a fallen soldier during an extra-terrestrial attack within good ol' New Mexico. 

The harrowing (is-it-fact-or-fiction?) account projects tons of violent valor, and its creepy H.G. Wells angle will keep one on the defense--and on the edge of one's seat. 

What a fantastic trio: each different, yet much the same for all the vast wonderment they bring.

FUN ADVENTURE COMICS! #10: NEW TALES TO THRILL AND ASTONISH!!!

Another three exciting tales arise in Will Lill's Fun Adventure Comics! #10...

Ron Fortier's script, based on Dario Carrasco Jr's story idea, establishes the initial segment, "Mark of the Gargoyle", featuring rich, moody images by Montos and lettering by Jim Reddington. (The breathtaking cover is courtesy of Carrasco and colored by Will Lill publisher Warren Montgomery.) 

The first chapter in "Mark of..." is "Rocket's Red Glare" and introduces the brooding, Boston-based protector, Lord Greyford, aka the Gargoyle, who's prompted by the compassionate Father Holmes to probe a Nazi-linked murder case.  Batman, Black Bat and Spectre fans will find much to relish in the gripping tale, where each panel's shadowy essence springs to spectral life. 

The Gargoyle's eerie entrance is followed by the small, sprawling wonders of "The Man Under the Microscope", by Jonathan Gilbert, with striking artwork by David Owens and lettering by David A.Vance.  Followers of DC's the Atom, Marvel's Ant-Man and Richard Matheson's "Incredible Shrinking Man" will get an amazing, colossal kick out of this one, as an intrepid trio of scientists embark on a fantastic voyage into a dangerous world. The story is a real nail-biter, folks, and even more so, scientifically uplifting. 

Capping off Issue #10 is the fourth and concluding installment of Lloyd Smith's epic Ash-Aman saga, entitled "Cataclysm", visualized with stylish zest by Russ Martin. 

This time the ardent Ash-Aman fights to save Atlantis, in a valiant and woeful finale that rivals even that of the great George Pal's "Atlantis, the Lost Continent." 

Once more, I was inspired by Smith's storytelling, which ripples with intensity and identifiable humanity. Without question, Ash-Aman's story stands as an astounding merger of ancient adventure, matched with the tragic pathos of Universal Studio's famous fables. A virile and moving saga for the ages!!! (I must confess, though, that I was saddened to see it end.)
