Currently, I am the *publisher* and Co-Creator of www.FlashBackUniverse.com - the first comic designed specifically for cbr format! Together with Pierre Villeneuve, I've made it my goal to bring great comics to the masses in cbr format (and so far, it's going really well!)

Here is some more information about me:

I'm a graphic artist and a .NET web developer who is also known for my parodies of comics on the All The Rage (see http://www.capvsbats.com for my archive)

Long time DC/Marvel Fan who misses Comics like DC Comics Presents, Black Lightning and Marvel Two-in-One. My current favorite writers are Geoff Johns and Kurt Busiek.

Brush with comic fame 1
I once wrote a couple of Silverhawk comics for Marvel that never got published, but Don Daley, my editor at the time, saw that I got some money anyway. (That was back in the 80's.) Silverhawks was a spinoff from Thundercats. Marvel lost the publishing rights to the series after about 8 issues.

Brush with comics fame 2
Wrote up a plot synopsis for a Vertigo series based on the Marjor Arcana that Alisa Qwitney really liked. She had me write up a full issue for the series, but then I never heard from her for like 6 months. Finally after several attempts to contact her, she responded telling me the project was dead because DC was going to publish an actual Tarot Card Deck based on existing Vertigo characters and they didn't want the two projects to confuse the buying public.

Nimbus, glad you enjoyed the FlashBack Universe! Pierre and I are having a lot of fun with it. If you would like, I'll let you know when it's updated.

Thanks Jim.

Yes it was done in English and in French.

No idea where/how you could get your hands on some of the episodes. Am wondering how I could find some myself. :(

Funny you should mention it. Before working on Bob Morane, the director had directed the Johnny Quest TV series of the mid 90s.

Darn you Jim for using Saturn Knight as your picture.

I almost settled for using Runewraith, but decided to use Cyclotron instead. Although i did not made up my mind yet. Might still change it.

btw thanks for adding me. ;)

Hey Jim! Glad you joined up. Apparently, you're suppose to thank people for the "add" here, so that's what I'll do.
