24.01.2022 Hi, Tad here. It's no secret I've been working on an outside project & I've been very loathe to reveal anything about it. Now that my part, for the most part, is done I can reveal the following but thought it best that it come from the horse's mouth - in this case Paul Power - take it away Paul. 'Now the ONLY thing I can let you leak out is that You and I have been working a brand new Professor OM story "The HUNTER!" that takes place in Africa and that it is in the EC Comics... style. There are some amazing backup stories by name cartoonists. You can mention the 4 Devil Doone stories in-color for the first time colored by Tom Luth and Steve Oliff and drawn by 4 different cartoonists Hart Amos, Gerald Carr, Jose Gual, and Andre Bressani, that the look marvelous. You can mention the title "Sweet REVENGE" # 1. That's ALL you can say. Later you can spill more beans once the book goes on sale. I like to surprise people. It's REALLY important that you ONLY mention the above.' The stuff we can't mention till we get closer to the mark is REALLY COOL & worth the wait. That is all. Go back to enjoying the rest of your day ;)

As for the sketch covers we'll continue to look into that & hope you'll be able to contribute to that. Cheers. https://www.gofundme.com/help-conny-valentina-rebuild

08.01.2022 Cyclone Collector Card #1: The Jackaroo! Jack Keegan a.k.a. The Jackaroo is a two-fisted adventurer and Dugga Dugga Grudge Champion. Trouble finds Keegan like flies can find a fresh dog turd. Though raised in the country, the big city draws him in to many adventures with the extreme monotreme, Flash Damingo, and the various members of Cyclone Force. Jack’s family history is full of mystery and the more he learns about the intrigues of his parents and grandparents, the more he... realises that adventure just runs in the family and that family secrets can be very deadly. Skills/powers: Seems to be able to take a lot of punishment. Heals quickly. Inexplicably uncanny senses. Group affiliations: Flash Damingo, Cyclone Force. Factoid: Keegan’s grandfather, Old Man Spit, bequeathed Jack the Australiana Café. First appearance: Cyclone #1 (1985) Cyclone Comics Collector Card Set 1 (2020) Card 1 of 12. Art: Gary Chaloner.
