Jack Butler

Black Hats and White Capes! #10

It's back-to-school time, and Jack's got a thing or two to teach you about the Butlerverse, kids. Learn about the exciting future changes coming to his campaign world, meet "Bandit" (the Global Guardians' teleporting Dominican), study up in the Butlerverse Encyclopedia with new entries like "The International Fighting Championship", "Ionitro", "Joshua Tree Federal Penetentiary" and "K'Kikri'i Hegemony", and relive history with a Butlerverse Time Capsule covering 1952-1962. For extra credit? How 'bout a new recipe?

Martin Maenza

World of Maenza: Online #29

Class is in session for World history as Martin takes us back into the history of the World of Maenza, and back to the '89-'91 Champs campaign known as Rough Justice. The team gets metallic in an all-new adventure titled "Mechanon and On", and we get to study the character sheet of Magni, the Norse God of Strength and member of Rough Justice. Don't be tardy!

Michael O'Connell

The "F" Word #28

Read any books lately? Maybe the current economy has your book-buying budget restricted? Well, here's a break for you: how'd you like to read the first chapter of the famed Jack Parker biography of Forte--"A Day or a Lifetime: The Forte Story"--for free? Yes, free! It's avaiable now on Jack Parker's web site. This account of earliest history of the Forte team is so real you'd almost think that Jack Parker himself was a member of Forte! But of course, he's not. I mean, there's no way he could actually be the secret identity of a Forte hero like Dr. Jackal or something. That's just ridiculous!

K.C. Ryan

Son of Thunder #27

Why settle for just studying American history when you can dive into Americana present? K.C.'s. back with a slew of all-new AC stories to rock your autumn, including "Bobbies on Bicycles Two by Two" (the coninuation of her English adventure), "Talk Show With a Twist", "Video Killed the Radio Star", "The Silver B.U.L.L.E.T.", and "Behind the Eight Ball". And top that off with some art appreciation in two new Americana art galleries, and even a little Forte Universe art. It's a seen you won't have to learn to love!
