    I'm not exactly sure which one story I'd direct people to for my characters.

    Semi-Transparent Lad: At work recently I explained the basic storyline of the STL to a fellow co-worker. It was brought up that I've written some stories in the past & he wanted an example so I choose STL since I thought he was a good example. He seemed to like it. Most of what I said was the basically the 1st issue (which is Issue 0) of his own series. So, that would be the starting point I'd give people for STL.


I think that's a fine choice. Unless the character was created at Image in the 90's, the first story is usually the one that defines a character. (If the character *was* from Image of that era, then they likely remained mysterious throughout most of their first 2 years of publication, assuming the creators didn't get distracted and let the book just sort of trail off.)

    Chad & Ronnie: I don't know. Given that I don't think I've ever done "Ultimate" C&R story & there has yet to be an Origin story for the duo. The first Chrismahannqwanza story is pretty good but is slightly tied up in PV continuity. A lot of the C&R stories are tied up in its own continuity & the continuity of the PV so to read one stories you have to read others.


With Chad and Ronnie, people will always assume that it must make more sense if they understood the larger context. The joke's on them. ;\-\)

    Catherine: Again slightly tied up in C&R continuity but does have a few stories where is not. The story where Catherine meets Alice April Apple is a nice small story but is slightly tied up in PV continuity. The Man with the Glass Breasts story is a good one, it give Catherine her one & only Villain (have to get back to him someday). The stories where Catherine visits The Lair Mansion & The Moon Public Library are two good character pieces. The stories "Family Time" & "Nightshift" are also good.


I like the Catherine in the Morgue stories... but then I also like the Catherine in the comic shop stories. Really, you've done a number of good spotlight stories with her.

    Lee Bookman: I don't know. Mostly since I think all the really good Bookman stories aren't by me. Lee has only really progressed because of him being part of the Legion & in turn being written by other people. But good stories about Lee written by me are the "File Room" series & the "Just another day at the Moon Public Library" series.


Ian has done a number of good stories with Lee, but I like how you handle him and the library cast.

    Ham-Boy: Not sure which stories I'd point people to for the Earth's Meatest Hero. There is no Origin story as of yet so that it out. I probably just direct them to a number of his appearances, maybe give the reader some background & leave them to it.


He's kind of self-explanatory. Kind of.

    What might be my favorite story I've done is one that is tied up in PV continuity is my Proctology Membership Drive story. Sure, it's a variation on a Great Lakes Avengers story by Dan Slott but I think it works. I can't find a joke in their that I don't think works.


With that team name, how could their tales not be comedy gold?
