Welcome to the second Anniversary Issue of The Collector Times! Wow, how
time flies. Our cover art this month comes from our own Joe Singleton,
and I think the subject is self explanatory.
I want to take a moment to apologize to my readers for not being prompt with my email for the last
month and a half. I, and the whole Roberts clan have been busy. We had to take a trip, and a very
important trip it was. Our own AJ Higginson, teen comic reviewer, got married to Chris Reardon
March 18th. True to her New Years Resolution, she
*did* suck up to the Editor and ask me to be an attendant at her wedding. She asked my daughter
Sidra, too. So, we had
things to do, people to see, and 2400 round trip miles to drive from Houston, Texas to
Tucson, Arizona. We did it, too! For those that are interested, and I am sure there are a few
of you out there, we took a ton of wedding photos. So you can go
We have lots of wonderful things this month to commemorate our second Anniversary. The
Art Gallery is crammed full of varied and exciting works.
We welcome new artists Rod Jennings and Ryan Leary to the staff. I'm sure you'll want
to take a minute out and look at their work. You won't be disappointed. We have two
interviews this month. Jamie Coville has another chat with Roger Stern
about his Marvel work and his snakes. If Jamie has a Clubhouse, Jason has a Torture Chamber,
and Jason Bourgeois interviews Robert Weinberg, the new writer
of Cable. Mathew Bredfeldt gives us another viewpoint on the
Dig Dug vs. Mr. Do controversy and also gives us his opinions about the latest Academy
Awards. Sidra Roberts also reviews Mangaphiles, in Alternate
Views. The book she reviews has art in it by our own Daniel Fu, the Utter Confusion guy.
Speaking of Daniel Fu, after we got back into town from AJ's wedding, Daniel was in
Houston for another wedding, and so we got to have lunch with him. I spent a very nice
lunch with him, getting to look at his original artwork. Not only is he a very nice guy,
but Daniel is very talented, and his brushwork is awesome. I suggest you run out and get
Mangaphiles right away.
Oh, and scott goddamn crawford is descending upon the Roberts Collector Times Headquarters
and Cat Ranch for 12 days in April, including Easter. God help us all.
We are glad you are here to celebrate our second anniversary issue with us. Enjoy!
