Tim Fish

Tim Fish is an extraordinarily-talented artist
with a wide range of mad skills!

Long a fan of his, imagine my delirious
excitement at discovering his Legion Sketch Book
work over the past several weeks!

Check out his beautiful site here
and pay the man his hot little due!

"Meet Death" advert


Yes, I know it's actually Dream of the Endless, but 'Death'
sounded so much more spectacular, and Dream was the
more recognizable--and co-paid advertisement figure
available--so it was a bit of a fudge!

This is one of my ads for the shop, back in the day.

I can't recall offhand which publication;
probably a music venue or alternative weekly.

I'm very proud of the feel I created for the store,
and for the enthusiastic response I received
(much to the Haterz' chagrin!)

St. Petersburg Times coverage, 1993

A very nice piece written up by a pleasant young woman.
Despite a small handful of the inevitable misquotes or
inappropriate titles, one of the better coverages I've seen
from a non-comics person!

'eclectica delectica' advertisement


One of the absolute best ads of any kind, and certainly for a comic book!

I had to take advantage of the awesome Milestone Comics
ad for Hardware, which DC gave a percentage of payment
towards cost for using their in-house produced ad.

This is from the back cover of 'eclectica delectica' # 1,
sometime in 1993.

Rogue print by Paul Ryan


During a Tampa comic book convention back in 1993 or 1994,
I purchased a print of a "Rogue" sketch done by Paul Ryan
(the good one!) and had him sign it to The Outpost!

It's one of my favorite keepsakes, even though not an original
piece! (I also got my Squadron Supreme graphic novel and
D.P. 7 # 1 signed by Paul, who was quite a nice guy!)
