Passing The (Comics) Torch

As you have probably noticed the comics related activity on RevSF has been pretty much negligible to nonexistent over the last few months. This has been mainly due to the fact that I’ve been snowed under with that most seductive of writing gigs – paying work.

And it looks like things are going to continue that way for the foreseeable future. With the upcoming GOD SHOP comic for Tokyopop and the James Bond book for Hermes Press, I’m just not going to have the time to give the role of being comics editor at RevSF the time and attention it deserves.

So, with Joe’s agreement and blessing, I’ve decided that I should pass on the torch.

The new recipient of the esteemed title of “Comics Editor” is my good buddy from Arizona , Jay Willson.

Although Jay now works in IT, in a past life he was the Art Director of Another Rainbow Publishing, the publisher (at that time) of the CARL BARKS LIBRARY, MICKEY MOUSE IN COLOR and the Carl Barks and Frank Frazetta lithograph series. He ha also been a staff illustrator for the ARIZONA REPUBLIC newspaper, and had illustrations appear in various science fiction and horror books and calendars. Jay’s also done some writing for various Internet sites, BACKISSUE and ALTER EGO magazines from TwoMorrows Publishing, plus he’s a regular contributor to the COMICOPIA APA….

…. And he knows comics.

As for me, although I’m passing on the comics role, I’ll still be around, joining the ranks of Rick, Mark, and Jayme, as an “editor-at-large.” I intend to finish off the Comics of 1986 series, as well as providing reviews, posting to this blog and maybe even contributing a few other articles along the way.

So please join me in welcoming Jay to the RevSF staff.
