Hello Comic Book Creators,

My name is Mike Strang and a few months ago I posted a controversial blog here about how my dealings with Platinum Studios Comics over my creation Weird Adventures in Unemployment and how they removed me from it.

also detailed in a great article by Heidi Macdonald here...

I just created a new website that has offbeat little articles about all things in the world of comic books that I write. My favorite feature so far is the COMIC BOOK BABE OF THE MONTH.

I feature bits about the weird comics in my collection like a Weird War Tales issue story about a platoon of Nazi Gorrilas, and a Tribute to Hawkman: Chuck Norris with Wings! 

It's still a work in progress but I think it's got some giggles in it.

Congrads to Platinum Studios on selling Cowboys and Aliens to Hollywood, I'm sure the movie will suck as bad as the webcomic.  

Nah, that started off too negative.  This blog is supposed to be about hope.

Stay away from Platinum Studios and any Work for Hire contracts if you feel attached to your creations. I feel as though I signed my soul over in a deal with the devil.
My name is Mike Strang and I wrote a comic book for them a horror spoof entitled WEIRD ADVENTURES IN UNEMPLOYMENT...
