Unboxing Disney 1 Saturday Morning!

August 5, 2023 Craig Boldman Leave a comment

In the late ‘90’s, Disney Adventures Magazine presented a monthly array of articles of interest for kids. Each issue also contained a large comics section filled with stories based on then-current Disney shows and movies.

I contributed comic scripts inspired by the animated series, ‘Disney’s Doug’ (The TV show was a continuation of one of the original Nicktoons, Doug, by creator Jim Jinkins for the Nickelodeon cable channel).

All of the Disney Adventures comics have been out of print since their original publication, until now. Fantagraphics has compiled a selection of that work in a hardback anthology called Disney 1 Saturday Morning Adventures.

Editor David Gerstein was kind enough to send me a copy of the new book, and I turned on the camera for an unboxing vid.

Apologies for the sound, my lapel mike didn’t perform up to par.

Rob was extremely generous with his chat time. Even so, in retrospect, a few omissions, corrections, and loose ends, etc. occur to me that beg to be addressed. Continue reading Craig Boldman on Santa Rob Podcast! →

I’ve been showing off some of my work-in-progress, for new Tailipoe material, on social media. A Facebook friend asked, “Who or what is Tailipoe?” Good question, and I’d say a re-introduction is in order. Here’s the first of a multi-part primer. Continue reading Tailipoe 101 part 1! →

Batman Family Reunion Podcast!

March 9, 2023 Craig Boldman 1 Comment

Paul Keinzle and Shawn M. Myers graciously invited me to join them, with guest Jim Beard, for the latest episode of their podcast, Batman Family Reunion at the Fire and Water Podcast Network. In this episode, we discuss The Batman Family #15 (DC Comics, December 1977).

The Batman Family was a DC Comics series that ran for twenty issues from 1975 to 1978. It focused on Batman’s supporting cast, mainly Robin and Batgirl. Silver- and Golden-Age reprints featuring obscure and forgotten characters rounded out the early issues.

Why I was invited:

Before I became a professional comic book writer, I was briefly and sporadically a comic book letter column contributor! In those days, young comic book writers-to-be caught the attention of editor Julius Schwartz by contributing letters of comments to his titles. That may have been my motivation for picking up my pen.

My Super Bowl Ad!

February 24, 2023 Craig Boldman Leave a comment

If you live in Ohio, you’ve probably seen a version of this commercial for Medical Mutual. It features me and my amazing TV granddaughter, Julia Paini! As you can see, Julia does the hard work while I just enjoy myself!

Originally slated to run in early 2022, I was gratified to learn that the spot (and one other Med Mutual spot) was renewed to run through March of 2023.

More than that, a version of this spot ran regionally (State of Ohio) during Super Bowl LVII, just before Rihanna’s Apple Music halftime show! This commercial has run in that slot in two consecutive Super Bowls!

I have appeared in commercials as a side hustle for years, and I’ll post some of them here from time to time.
