What Really Happened to Dave Cockrum?


If you've followed my blog, you know how I felt about my pals Dave Cockrum and Gene Colan. What you probably don't know is what went on behind the scenes of their struggles with Marvel. Perhaps you read between the lines. Maybe you missed the episodes entirely and are content collecting their comics and art. Fair enough.
Gene Colan kept his dignity and his spirits high in the face of dire circumstances.

But if you're interested in their real stories--and some of the other sordid happenstances in the world of four-color funnies--you might want to check out this video.

Aardwolf Publishing has launched it's first Kickstarter project around my book ComicBook Babylon. With an introduction by Stan Lee and art by Michael Netzer, it's little wonder why the project funded in less than two days. But the Kickstarter is just the beginning. The book will be the real event. Come meet the real Alan Moore, Frank Miller, Joe Kubert, Walter Simonson, Bob Layton, Herb Trimpe and many other key creators of the comic book universe. Come read Harlan Ellison answer tough questions for tough Jews. Have a look at what I consider my most exciting project in more than a decade. Click here to take that journey.

Dave Cockrum was cheated but never complained. For Dave, it wasn't about money.
