GHOSTS Now Available For Pre Order



From Yoe Books, Steve Banes presents over a dozen pre-code horror comic stories about ghosts. This book makes perfect reading for Halloween season or any late rainy night by candle light. I know, because I've read it and even wrote the introduction. You can pre-order a copy at the link below. The book itself is available October 8, 2019. Check out all the other Yoe Books titles for more classic comic book horrors.





Daredevil Epic Collection: Purgatory and Paradise



Marvel's Daredevil Epic Collection: Purgatory & Paradise is now available. It includes over 500 pages of comics including Daredevil #351 which I wrote with art by Shawn McManus, colors by Christie Scheele, lettering by Jim Novak and editing by James Felder. You can order a copy by clicking the link below, or by visiting a comic book store near you.

Ask Me Anything #63








It's been a really long time since I've done one of these. January 2018 in fact. Much of that is due to blogging seeming to be on the wane as other, more immediately gratifying, forms of social media have taken people's fancy, and readership has shifted elsewhere. Meaning that my own posting efforts have shifted elsewhere more and more as well.

I've always preferred Blogger over other forms simply because it allows me to cover things more in depth than other delivery services, and to delve into somethings that I wouldn't really think felt at home on say, Facebook, or certainly Instagram. I'm trying to make an effort to post more here than I have been, and one of the ways I wanted to do that was in bringing back "Ask Me Anything." I've always liked this feature here, because I tend to get some good, and often surprising and challenging questions, plus I like the interaction it creates. Hopefully, after all this time, there's still any audience for this thing. Let's see how it goes.

I make no promises of this returning to a regular schedule, but on the first Monday of the month you can usually find a post like this one allowing you to hit me up on any topic and I'll do my best to answer it.  Ask me anything you want.

Questions can be posted in the comments section below, and I'll either answer them there, or in a separate post sometime later in the month.

I've been asked a lot of good, thought provoking questions in the past as well as some really banal ones, all of which I tried to answer. You can see the previous questions by visiting Ask Me Anything  #1#2 ,  #3#4#5#6 , #7 , #8#9,  #10,  #11,  #12 , #13#14,  #15 , #16#17 , #18 , #19,  #20,  #21#22,  #23#24#25#26#27#28#29#30#31#32#33#34#35#36#37#38#39#40#41#42,  #43#44#45,  #46#47,  #48#49,  #50,  #51#52 , #53#54#55#56,  #57,  #58,  #59, and #60 , #61 and #62.

Answers not found following the questions can be found in the archives section for each associated month under Ask Me Anything.
