The Standard - A Comic Written By ME!

[Keyser Soze]

Ok, I might do that, might not have the time though. I don't know that shop though, or the other one 'I Love music'. Are they in the West End? I will defo get ahold of the comic now though, cheers.

Plan B Books is on Osborne Street, directly behind A1 Comics. I Love Music is near Queen St station.

Ok, thanks for the info, I know that area quite well, maybe never noticed that particular shop though.

Did you know The Standard had his own radio show and cartoon in the 1960s?

Every superhero needs an archenemy. The Standard's was Zachary Zarthos:

I met up with Keyser Soze once and personally have my hands on a physical copy of Issue 1 and it's good stuff. Really makes you want to see what happens in the coming issues. He mentioned he finished the last issue not too long ago and cannot wait to read the series. Heh maybe my pre-print copy will one day be worth lots of money.

You guys should check it out as the issues continue to release after the first.

Thanks for the ringing endorsement, trusty. Meeting you at San Diego Comic-Con was great.

Though you may have a RARE~! physical copy of The Standard #1, you'll still need to buy the first issue when it's officially released. It'll be in COLOR!

Check it out! Rare archival footage of the popular 1960s Standard cartoon!

Thanks for the ringing endorsement, trusty.

So when can I expect my check?

 

[Tron Bonne]

Keyser, will it be possible to just have my LCS order this from Diamond?

Keyser, will it be possible to just have my LCS order this from Diamond?

Sadly, that's not looking likely at this stage. You'll be able to get the comic digitally to view on your computer (or if you have one, your iPhone/iPad), or if you'd prefer a physical comic, you'll be able to order a copy from IndyPlanet.

 

[Tron Bonne]

Ah, okay, I see. I prefer physical copies but really don't mind reading it digitally. You're living the dream and all, so I gotta to pick it up.

 

[Keyser Soze]

Thanks for the support, Tron Bonne!

Today's blog starts a week-long study of The Standard's involvement in the Vietnam War:

Was The Standard a no-good, dirty Communist?
