I used t'write for Disney, and I was an editor at Marvel, where I took care'a the Harvey-Award winning THOR THE MIGHTY AVENGER, Eisner-Award winning OZ books, SPIDER-MAN, SUPER HEROES, X-MEN FIRST CLASS, PET AVENGERS, SPIDER-MAN LOVES MARY JANE and a buncha others.
This blog is dedicated to exactly what I'm thinking at all times. I'm on Twitter as @NateCosboom.

Don’t be stupid. There’s no future there.
She’s the child of gods. The most beautiful woman in the world. I’m an unlikeable obsessive-compulsive nutjob that lives in a cave. Even my butler hates me.
She could have anyone she wants. She doesn’t want me. And if she does…she’s wrong.

This is my Death Ray!
Thought about changing that name a few times. Matter-Displacing Ray, World Conquering Ray, Ray Of Eternal Suffering, etc etc. But Death Ray! DEATH!!!! Really cuts to the heart of the matter, you know? DEATH RAY.
Sorry, I’m rambling. This Death Ray’s really been such a labor of love…once you get me started, I go on a roll! Ha ha.
Anyway. Name me ruler of America or I’ll kill you with my Death Ray, Mister President.

Cow Boy: BOYD'S WAGON. A Cow Boy Short Story. →

cow-boy:

Had me a wagon. Daddy gave it to me.

“Never had me no wagon growin’ up!” he told me. “Take care’a that now. Don’t go breakin’ a wheel off yer first play.”

I went off’n played. Didn’t break a wheel. When I came back from playin’, Daddy was gone. For good this time.

A summer later, I loaded my…

I’m not him. He took me in, I swore an oath. There’s nothing I can ever do to repay him for all he’s done, what he keeps doing for me. But Bruce is at home in the darkness. That’s not where I want to be. I’ll fight for him, I’d die for him. But I’m not him.
At least…that’s what I keep telling myself.

The Warning Page.

Page design by Chris Eliopoulos. Words by me.

Although my book is intended mainly for the entertainment of boys and girls, I hope it will not be shunned by men and women on that account, for part of my plan has been to try to pleasantly remind adults of what they once were themselves, and of how they felt and thought and talked, and what queer enterprises they sometimes engaged in.

Mark Twain, from the Preface of The Adventures Of Tom Sawyer
