Here's a @victorsantos.bsky.social appreciation post. Victor is one of my favorite collaborators, and I've been fortunate to work with him a few times. Most recently we did an OGN with @darkhorse.com called Elixir and his work was stunning. Co-written with my pal Ricky Mammone! a.co/d/0aF7UFab

Would greatly appreciate some Amazon reviews for The Author Immortal. The whole team is so proud of the book, and reviews help keep the book relevant in digital sales. If you've got a minute and enjoyed the book, you'd make our day. a.co/d/068gx4Jw

Seeing the news of Gold Key going to a new home fills me with nostalgia for my run on Solar. 2014 feels like a lifetime ago, but I have a real fondness for Erica, our “woman of the atom” who explored what happens when you give science powers to an artist. I’m glad we got to tell her story.

Thrilled to see Hassan Otsmane-Elhaou nominated for an Eisner this year, and his lettering in The Author Immortal called out! Hass elevated every page and seamlessly blended his work with @morganbeem.bsky.social's gorgeous watercolors. Check out our collection now from @imagecomics.com!

Frank J. Barbiere @fjbarb.bsky.social · 24/03/2026

The Author Immortal by me & @morganbeem.bsky.social directly deals with the tainted legacy of Rowling and how we can move on. A character inspired by her is featured as our villain, and I'm surprised we don't see more fiction grappling with this cultural wound.

Frank J. Barbiere @fjbarb.bsky.social · 07/02/2026

This month we wrap up the first story arc of The Author Immortal! Here’s a beautiful preview from @morganbeem.bsky.social with a variant from @shadedway.bsky.social and design by the always impeccable @sievish.bsky.social! Available the last week in Feb from @imagecomics.com!
