Last year, DC Comics made a formal declaration that June 3rd would forevermore be known as Wonder Woman Day. Of course, the fact that it only fell on the day following the U.S. release date for the first-ever Wonder Woman big-screen motion picture, and that there are no official plans to make it an annual celebration, surely had nothing to do with it…
But that shouldn’t stop you from celebrating it! And how can you do that? Well, how about downloading a free digital comic that’s only available right here, at StarWarp Concepts!
Heroines and Heroes is a collection of comic stories and pinups all drawn by me, dating back to my days in the early 1990s small-press movement—that age of dinosaurs in which creators like me used to make our comics by printing them out on photocopiers and then stapling them by hand. In H&H you’ll find mainstream heroes and small-press heroines, a couple of anthropomorphic bikers—and a certain member of the Justice League.
“V-A-C-A-T-I-O-N (in the Summertime)” is a three-page Wonder Woman vs. Harley Quinn story that I wrote and drew in the late ’90s as a sample for a DC Comics editor who thought I’d be a good fit for their Batman: The Animated Series comic (it didn’t work out). It’s followed by an adventure of small-presser Jeff Wood’s rabbit-eared superspy, Snowbuni; three pages from the long-canceled indie comic Motorbike Puppies; and an adventure of the indie superheroine The Blonde Avenger.
Heroines and Heroes is available for free download right now, so visit its product page for more information, including sample pages. It’s a small-press wonder!
