PERSONAL WEB STUFF 
 
My personal Facebook page for personal & professional networking.
 
My JacketFlap page....yep...more professional networking.
 
Aint-It-Cool -- Major source of entertainment news.  As Prof. Challenger I contribute commentary, interviews, and reviews for the AICN Comics section.
 
IMWAN -- Messageboard with a light touch
 
 
 
FRIENDS
 
Christopher Paul Carey -- Author and friend who edits FARMERPHILE magazine and contributed to MYTHS FOR THE MODERN AGE.
 
David Hopkins -- Texas comic book writer.  Creator of one of my favorite all-ages comics, EMILY EDISON.   If you haven't tried, you should.
 
Geoff Johns -- Chief Creative Officer of DC Comics and writer of GREEN LANTERN and FLASH.
 
Javier Grillo-Marxuach -- Author and friend who created and writes THE MIDDLEMAN for Viper Comics, SUPER SKRULL for Marvel Comics.
 
Kristian Horn -- Superb cartoonist and fellow AICN reviewer.
 
Matt Haley -- Fantastic artist and co-creator of G.I. SPY.
 
Michael Easton -- Writer, poet, actor, director who has created one of the finest graphic novels I've ever read, called SOUL STEALER.
 
Philip Jose' Farmer -- Late Nebula, Hugo, and Grandmaster Award-winning science-fiction author.  
 
Rich Johnston -- The most hated man in comics.  So hated that his fictional death was the subject of a seemingly never-ending C.S.I. mini-series.  He is the writer of the long-running LYING IN THE GUTTERS rumor column and even wrote one of my favorite comics of 2006 -- THE FLYING FRIAR (yes, that's my quote on the page from aintitcoolnews.)
 
Rick Lundeen's Epoch Comics -- Cool writer, artist, and all-around great guy.
 
 
PUBLISHERS
 
AIT/PlanetLar -- An independent source for quality black and white graphic novels.
 
Archie Comics -- Archie, Jughead, Betty, Veronica, Reggie, Moose, Mr. Weatherbee, Hot Dog...  They're all still around and going strong with fun comics for kids and teens.
 
Big Bang Comics -- A loveletter to the style of the Golden and Silver ages of comic books but with modern production qualities.
 
Moonstone Books -- Premiere source for new takes on classic pulp action and adventure. 
 
Oni Press -- Another great independent publisher of quality black and white comics and graphic novels.  Of which, the all-ages BANANA SUNDAY and POLLY AND THE PIRATES are my daughter's favorites.
 
Papercutz -- Superb young publisher of graphic novels for teens and tweens.  We're talking Hardy Boys and Nancy Drew type stuff...and they're cool.
 
Subterranean Press -- Publisher of my books, THE BEST OF PHILIP JOSE' FARMER and PEARLS FROM PEORIA and a slew of fantastic and eclectic product.
 
TwoMorrows -- Best publisher of comics-related magazines and books such as THE JACK KIRBY COLLECTOR, BACK ISSUE!, ROUGH STUFF, ALTER EGO, THE ALL-STAR COMPANION, and THE JUSTICE LEAGUE COMPANION.
 
Viper Comics -- Publisher of THE MIDDLEMAN and EMILY EDISON, two of my favorite comics.  Beyond those two, this Texas publisher puts a ton of outstanding professional product on the comic and book shelves across this country.
 
Wildcat Books -- Another great source for new and classic pulp adventure.
