I’ve been anxiously awaiting Shooting Star Comics Anthology #4 because SSC graciously invited Phil Meadows and me to contribute an 8-page story. The result is “The Adventures of Melvin and Marvin Middler, Time Meddlers”, about two British brothers who try to make money using their time traveling rolltop desk. It begins with their bagging and preserving a certain 1938 comic book, and launching an even better scheme from there. How much can these two screw up in only 8 pages? You’ll be surprised.

However, I’ve just found out that the book is delayed two weeks. We’re not sure why, as it went to the printers on time, but it’s just not on Diamond’s shipping list for this week or next Wednesday. The company prez is investigating and will get a firm date to us ASAP.

Hmmm…maybe I should post the first two pages to tide you over. Interested?
