Read It and Weep: Collected Writings, April 2024

I’ve posted a number of times on social media since the passing of Ed Piskor (1982-2024) and have written a couple pieces for publication elsewhere. Several people have commented that they have found my words consoling, although I want to stress that I wrote purely for my own personal, selfish, therapeutic reasons—to help me process this awful tragedy and loss. For what they may be worth, I’ve gathered them here for the record:

1998 Interview with Don Simpson on the Megaton Man Web Comic and Print

The following is the text for a Comics Journal column by Jeremy Pinkham from 1998 that never ran; I believe it was to be the first in a series of columns cover web comics. It was based on a brief interview with me; I suppose since it was largely about my now-defunct MEGATONMAN.com website, it was canceled, since the Journal (also now defunct) was in denial about the impact of the internet on printed comics). It is presented here for historical purposes only.
