Skipper/s in the Spotlight panel from the Navy Times

Mario DeMarco illustrated this panel comic in Navy Times from 1961-1981, and maybe longer. These examples from the US Navy Bureau of Medicine and Surgery's Historical Office's biographical files run from 1961-1981. The GCD and the Marvel Wiki have credits for DeMarco, but Jerry Bail's Who's Who in American Comic Books has the best data, and shows him as doing "Sports comics (pen/ink/) 20 yrs in Navy Times." I could only find two other examples online (which are at the bottom), and the Times search engine is useless returning almost 7000 results.

Seize Them! by Daniel Boris


UPDATED DATE: Meet Scott Braden - Author of Kent Menace at Beyond Comics



Store Signing

Frederick Location Only

Due to a delay in printing, the signing has been rescheduled for:

Saturday July 22nd!

11 AM - 4 PM


Meet and greet with Scott Braden, author and creator of Kent Menace!


Kent Menace is a mysterious mariner, as well as a weird hero who radiates - and attracts - excitement, danger, and even a bit of humor. Find out why Diamond Comics's Steve Geppi said Kent Menace "crackles with energy and overflows with possibility" and Valiant Comics's senior editor Lysa Hawkins said "...a little dash of pulp, a sprinkle of camp, Kent Menace is what happens if Doc Savage, Namor, and the Tick fused into one!"





Find out about Braden's new venture, Brilliant Enterprise!


"Brilliant really began as a dream I had with my old friend, JEFF DILLON, in the form of Brilliant Entertainment. In fact, I published my original 16-page, 200-count preview edition under that banner. Well, then for two issues we were published by another company. But, for all the work I was doing creating and marketing the books, I was told they really weren't hitting the mark. I had a hard time believing that, so, with a very cool logo designed by the great Mark Wheatley, I decided that if I am going to work this hard at it, it is up to me to make it successful. Nobody else."

Flugennock's Latest'n'Greatest: "It's Delightful, It's Delectable, It's De-Dollarization!"


from DC's anarchist cartoonist -

This is a piece I'd sketched out earlier but originally tossed for 
being too complex, too obscure an issue... but then, a couple of weeks 
ago I was reading about how BRICS was strengthening, 
"de-dollarization" was spreading, how the spread of de-dollarization 
was starting to get people shook on the Hill and how this means the 
issue might finally break out into public media, and about how the 
BRICS countries were contemplating creating an alternate reserve 
currency and  — and suddenly, that goofy-ass dollar-bill parody gag 
was starting to look pretty good...
