General Glory was a star spangled parody of the straitlaced, upright Captain America created by the irrepressible Keith Giffen and J.M.… Read the rest

From 1994’s JUSTICE LEAGUE QUARTERLY #16, the “All-Glory Issue,” starring GENERAL GLORY. It consisted of a framing sequence (by me, with art by Vince Giarrano) and four General Glory stories I’d scripted, each “set” in a different era of the comic book industry.… Read the rest

Anyway, this one was done in the style of a 1950s Stan Lee/Jack Kirby Marvel horror comic story and is entitled “I Fought Groout, the Creature Who Came From the Cracks in the Earth.”… Read the rest
