While my big projects are all on hold for various reasons, I recently started something small that may soon become a new thing from Great Scott! Press.
I was putting together some "best of" compilations of old titles because -- let's face it, with even the best of these old anthology titles, not every feature is a gem. So, if you're not like me and don't want to read every story that was ever written (though -- confession time -- I only skim some of them), maybe you want to see just the good ones, and maybe you'd drop 50 cents to have the bad ones culled out for you, even though you can really just skim the whole thing for free somewhere...
Anyway, I'm going to do a trial run of these, repackaging Centaur's title Funny Picture Stories, and slap them up on DriveThruRPG/DriveThruComics as ebooks only in the coming months.

As I posted elsewhere, Funny Picture Stories #1-3 are now available in POD. They are expensive comic book and I will admit the contents look better on a computer screen than on print. My feelings would not be hurt if no one else buys a copy. But the feeling of having my own hand-picked compilations of classic stories sitting on my comic book shelf...for me, priceless.
Something else to share, though -- I had thought that no one else was reusing the name Funny Picture Stories, but as I was searching up my own titles on Amazon, I discovered that someone out there is selling POD versions of the original, complete scanned issues as-is, and has been since 2015. Oops!
Since issues 4-6 already exist, I'm still planning to make them POD next. Sales of the ebooks have been so low, though, that I'm not sure I'll finish #7 that I'd been working on. But we'll see.

Oh, well done! How the heck did I miss this? (I mean, besides my Secret ID as a mild-mannered Traffic Controller/Emergency Responder, the World Revolution on Nega-Earth as my Other Self, the mystery of why my Android Daily Power is actually a Magic Spell...I don't remember a Mystic Origin! Oh, and my attempts to game with my Besties at HQ. Really though, I have no excuse...  ) Well, I know now. Time to raid RPGNow before my Sleep Cycle... |

A project that I *thought* was going to be an easy target goal this year was to touch up the restoration of the first few issues of FPS, since I had learned so much by #7. But the upgrades have been really slow going. Issue #1 is upgraded already and the new version is what you download online when you buy it, but #2 is still not done.

And #7 too. Done! Now, this project is going on the backburner for a while. The next step is to get all seven issues up on Indyplanet for POD sales - because I dislike the non-comic book feel of the Amazon POD versions - but this has to wait until I have some discretionary funds for ordering preview copies.
