Great question! In Wulf and Batsy's world, Frankenstein, the Universal Monster films, etc, are works of fiction, just as they are for us... BUT... That does not mean there aren't other science-made monsters, living mummies, and other traditional monsters of a similar nature lurking around for them to encounter...

Hey thanks for your interest in my comics - and for your questions! Yep, I've been working on some new Wulf and Batsy stories! Over the years that I was originally doing Wulf and Batsy comics (starting in Dec.1999) and self-publishing them on my own (from roughly 2008-2017) I was bursting with ideas for stories (long, short, and in-between) about the characters. But because I was doing the comics in spare time, on the side of my day job and married life, I really had to choose my battles about which stories to focus on, if I expected to get anything done. Every once in a while I'd find time to knock out a short story. But mostly during those years I felt a burning desire to do big, graphic-novel length stories with large casts of characters. Those felt like "the important" Wulf and Batsy stories. Each one felt like climbing Mt.Everest and each one was bigger than the one before it. Along the way I kept getting ideas for other, shorter, simpler Wulf and Batsy stories I wanted to do, but forced myself to write them down and set them aside. I am a "one project at a time" kinda guy. I can work on comics on the side of my day job but if I tried to do 2 comics projects on the side of my day job, I would get distracted and my big graphic novel length stories (the "important" ones) would suffer or take even longer to finish. Well, now, with those "big stories" out of the way, I finally have time to go back to all those short story ideas I loved but never had time for, and actually draw them as finished comics. So the plan for Alterna is, to break up my big graphic novels into normal comic book sized issues and publish them as story arcs in an ongoing comic book series. And then slide these new comics (from my backlog of shorter, simpler story ideas) in between the big story arcs, as stand-alone issues. As for difficulty of coming up with new ideas? That seems to be one problem I've never had. I can never seem to turn off the monster-comic-idea-machine in my head. If anything I come up with more ideas than I have time to draw. So I just keep writing them down and thinking, "Someday I will get to that one, too!"

Hey! I didn't see this post until just now! Thank you for those very kind words!! I'm so excited to be invited into the Alterna family and can't wait for everyone to read my monster comics!!

Wonderful coincidence to find this video. Because I have an idea for a new comic project (still in very early development) that I intend to be full color (all my past comic work has been black and white) that I would ultimately like to see in print when completed, and I was wondering about all of these exact issues. Font size for lettering, limitations in color for newsprint, all of it. Feel like I'm going to have to watch this video 5 more times to absorb all that information... but it was great. I intend to go into my new project keeping all of this in mind. Thanks for doing this Pete!

Yeah it was just an early quickie job for sure but it was fun, I enjoyed those characters. If I can dig up scans of my pages I will post them. :)

Hey there nice to meet you. That’s awesome! I actually illustrated one of the FemForce short stories. Back around the mid 2000’s. I forget the issue number.

Thank you, Guido!

Fun stuff!!

I agree! Good idea!

Seems to be working fine! Happy to be here.
