From the Editor's Desk: Dave Schreiner and Megaton Man

Reproduced here is a two-page letter dated February 13, 1987 from Dave Schreiner (1946-2003), offering his assessment of the Megaton Man cast of characters. Dave was the editor at Kitchen Sink Press from 1983 to 1993, and was particularly crucial as a sounding board for me on Border Worlds (1985-1987); I've often said the recaps he wrote of the previous issues where more coherent than my comics. In this document, Dave is responding to a plot outline I sent to him (it may be this one or an even briefer synopsis of Megaton Man #11 and other comic book ideas I was cooking up at the time).

The Golden Age Megaton Man Meets the Uncategorizable X+Thems #1 roughs

These are the original roughs to Megaton Man Meets the Uncategorizable X+Thems #1 (Kitchen Sink Press, April 1989). These were penciled on 8 1/2" x 11" bond paper, then blown up on a photocopier and light-tabled (traced) onto Bristol board for lettering and inking. (All the images here are scanned from the original small roughs except the front and back cover.
