If you have any money left after shopping, bring it to Powers Comics & Collectibles2180 S Ridge Rd #2, Green Bay, WI 54304 and drop it on my table.

A 50TH ANNIVERSARY TRIBUTE FROM MY SON

Hi, guys –

Yesterday marked my 50th Anniversary in comics. Thanks to my great pal Scott Hoverman of 3 Alarm Comics in Biloxi, MS and the conniving of my righthand man Jeff Messer, we did a Streamyard broadcast of the event, which will be available to watch on Youtube or through the 3 Alarm site.

I was blessed to have so many friends join in, guys I seldom see in person but always hold dear to my heart.

The highlight for me was when my son and granddaughter, Torrin (born the same year as Starslayer but the name–Torrin/Torin–is purely coincidental… or prophetic, if you like. We didn’t meet until he was 6 years old, but I’m claiming him darn it) and Piper Miller joined in. Piper is 9 and just competed in her first gymnastics event, winning a medal! If I sound overly proud, that’s an understatement. Even better, Torrin wrote and read a tribute that continues to make my heart swell with love and joy every time I read it. 

I’ve always been proud of Torrin, I just never realized how much that went the other way.

It’s the greatest anniversary gift I could ever have hoped for. I’m sharing it with all of you here.

In the realm of comics, where shadows and ink converge, stands a titan named Mike Grell. For half a century, he’s chiseled tales of heroes and anti-heroes onto the unforgiving canvas of creativity.

His legacy is a symphony of storytelling and artistry, from his iconic work on “Green Arrow: The Longbow Hunters,” redefining a character, to his artistic prowess in “Legion of Super-Heroes” and “Warlord.” Let’s not forget the series I saw go from mind to matter “Shaman’s Tears”.

Amidst his creative maelstrom of life, Mike or Papa Mike as his granddaughter knows him, echoes the duality of his art – taking on many of life’s complexities while crafting narratives as stark as the landscapes he illustrates.

So, here’s to Mike Grell (Dad), the maestro of comics, an artist whose ink has left an indelible mark on the medium for five remarkable decades. His work, like a timeless melody, continues to inspire and captivate.

Love you!
Torrin Miller

MIKE GRELL’S 50TH ANNIVERSARY IN COMICS

Hi, guys –

Tomorrow, September 23, 2023 marks my 50th Anniversary in comics. I want to invite all of you to join me in a special streaming event hosted by my buddy Scott Hoverman of 3 Alarm Comics. It begins at 7PM CST and goes until I’ve run out of bullsh…er…stories to tell. You can pop in and out as you please. I’d love to see you there to help celebrate what has been an interesting career with not a few twists and turns.

We’ll swap lies and you can ask me anything–don’t worry about embarrassing me in front of Mary,  she’s seen me laugh and heard me fart and she’s still here.

If you can join us, I’d love to see you. If not, no worries. It’ll be available to watch later.

 I hope to see you  there,

Mike

UPDATE: CORRECTED LINK

Sorry, guys! I not only sent the wrong link but the wrong time. It starts at 7PM CST (not 7:30). The correct link is below

HELP BRING THE DEAD BACK TO LIFE in a new Horror Comic on KICKSTARTER.

Hi, guys –

My pal Joe Janowicz has created a great project in the vein of the old EC Comics stories that corrupted… er… entertained so many of us in our youth. I’m attaching the press release for “HELL”OWEEN which contains a link to the Kickstarter platform along with a couple of teasers I think you’ll like.

Pass the word to all your friends for a scary good read.

Mike Grell

Press Release
HELP BRING THE DEAD BACK TO LIFE in a new Horror Comic on KICKSTARTER.

Real-life terror in the most unexpected places…a new horror comic anthology, with storytelling and art similar to the style and tone of the classic EC horror comics of the 1950’s, “HELL”OWEEN tells four continuing stories with vampires, witches, werewolves, and zombies on a night when costumed monsters become real. In other words, all Hell breaks loose on a holiday night gone terribly wrong.

Created and written by horror author Joe Janowicz, (The Naked Dead, Ghosts) and drawn by five different popular artists, Keith Williams, Ken Wheaton, Rob Dumo, Nigel Carrington, Rick Arthur, and Joe Orsak, who bring their unique art styles to create a very chilling, yet fun, comic book, ideal for any horror fan. And, “HELL”OWEEN also introduces a brand-new seductive scream- queen character, Lucifer’s daughter, Lucy, who captures the campy, yet creepy, fun of the famous late-night horror show hostesses and comic icons Elvira, Vampiri, and Vampirella. Lucy, as the mistress of the “deep” dark under, frames each story with her own horror wit and humorous quips.

“HELL”OWEEN is now a KICKSTARTER project and offers a wide variety of sponsorships which include autographed copies of the comic, sketches, and original art. Each artist has his own variant cover reflecting an individually drawn story, and Lucy has two exclusive variant photo covers, one each in the “Nice and Naughty” category. She is also featured in a three-minute introductory video on the “HELL”OWEEN Kickstarter page where she visits a cemetery and asks for your sponsorship help and even a donation of your blood.

To learn more about this Kickstarter project, the creative team, and to become a supporter of this unique comic book (spoiler alert…with your support Lucy may come back from the grave) go to www.kickstarter,com/projects/hell-o-ween.
