New York Con looms
As each day we get a little closer to the New York Comic-Con, I’m filled with excitement and trepidation. We didn’t exhibit there last year, and after hearing all the horror stories about the overcrowding, it was kind of a blessing we didn’t. But the mess in ‘06 just proves how we’ve finally, finally got [...]

Stan Kirby, where are you?
Okay, I don’t know who the joker is out there, but here at Casa Dos Morrows, we’ve been getting an awful lot of mail addressed to one “Stan Kirby”. Several have him listed as an MD. Others are offers for everything from credit cards to timeshares. A recent really nice one came from Lamborghini, for [...]

Take2 My Wife…

NY Comicon Marvel Bullpen Panel
I’ve been asked by the fine folks who’re putting on the New York Comicon (http://www.nycomiccon.com) to host the 1960s Marvel Bullpen Panel, featuring Stan Lee, Roy Thomas, Joe Sinnott, and Marie Severin. After pausing 8 seconds to pick myself off the floor, I immediately said “Yes”, before they could come to their senses and pick [...]

Take my wife (to dinner), please…
My wife Pam puts up with a lot. (As do other wives of comics fans, but let them get their own blogs.) Since 1994, she’s learned more about Jack Kirby and comic books than any woman other than Roz Kirby should have to. She’s followed me to countless conventions, and sat there patiently answering questions [...]

Welcome to TNT!
After a bit of computer hijinx interfering, we’re finally ready to start blogging! But aren’t there enough blogs out there already? Does the world really care about my life and times? Other than my wife Pam and daughters Lily (5) and Hannah Rose (2), I pretty much doubt it. But my company, TwoMorrows Publishing? Based [...]
