You may have noticed that FlyCoJoe isn't updating this blog as often as he used to. The reason is that, over the last year or so, there has been a drop in the traffic to this page.

While FlyingColorsComics.com is still visited by scores of unique visitors each day, it seems a lot of online traffic has migrated elsewhere, especially to Facebook.

That is the primary reason we put together the  Flying Colors Fan Brigade on Facebook! It's still open and accessible even for those who do not have a regular Facebook account... and it's much easier and faster to post quick bits of info, store updates and fun links there than it is anywhere on this site.

So we invite you to join our fan page on Facebook (hit the link!). We will still post here from time to time, but to be fully informed on the happening at Flying Colors, we suggest visiting the store regularly (man, we gotta update those photos!) and bookmarking this site and our  Flying Colors Fan Brigade on Facebook!  

Peace!

Back from Comic-Con!

2010 marked my 25th consecutive year attending Comic-Con in San Diego. I marvel at how the event has grown--- mutated, even. It's a blast, to be sure--- and it's also a grind!

My pal Matt Price, a comic book  retailer and a professional journalist for The Oklahoman newspaper, has a terrific and informative blog with news from San Diego. Find it by clicking here!

Peace!

The secret is out!

There's an announcement over on SavageDragon.com from our pal Erik Larsen. This is a deal Erik and I came up with when he visited Flying Colors for Free Comic Book Day in May.

The big news is that Flying Colors' very own super-hero---  CAPTAIN FOUR-COLOR will be featured in Savage Dragon #165! That's right, fans! Created by Jeff Bonivert and yours truly, CAP FC will be in on the Dragon action this October.

To make things even sweeter, Erik Larsen has drawn an EXCLUSIVE and limited edition variant cover featuring CAP FC landing a more than savage blow on the Dragon's jaw! 

More details soon!

Peace 'n' cool comics!
