Well,you're back.
It's been a long time since Rock'N'Roll excitement like Grimjack came roaring out of Cynosure,and gentlemen,you've been missed.
I've loved this character since the first (sic) Black Cat caper,a young fool I was but I knew class when I saw it.
Now,less hair,grey in my beard,I've dusted of the gleeful smile for the Grinner again.
Regards from Wales.Welcome Back.

Just saw an article in the Lancaster New Era about the new series and the signing. I haven't read the old series, and am new to the GrimJack universe, but it looks very interesting...I will definitly be picking up a copy.

Okay, Gordon's letting people talk, and I'm new here...

My name's Glenn Hauman, and I'm the webmaster for GrimJack, among other things. I first met Timothy Truman about 18 years ago (and I'm only calling him that because we don't want to confuse him with the guy who composes music for Jeremiah-- Tim composes music too, and you'll be hearing some of it on the site over the next few months), I've known Mike Gold, John Workman, and John Ostrander for about 15 years since we worked together at DC Comics, and one of the most fun nights I ever had was with Kim Yale at a B-52's benefit concert in 1992 at Studio 54.

I'm looking forward to hearing from all of you... although I'm not looking forward to cleaning out the men's room around here. Gold insists that it's part of the job around here, but I dunno...

My name's Gregg Noon & I'm more than happy to finally see a site dedicated to something I've been waiting for for quite some time.

I got hooked on Grimjack years ago by borrowing some copies from my Uncle's reading pile. Since then it was a lock. I can't express how happy I am to see y'all working on the book you love & fought for.

And having had the luck to work with Tim a few years back on my first-ever published comics work; I can only say it couldn't have happened to a better guy.

Way to go, gang. Can't wait to see what you have in store. Thanks!

Hi, Noon! (Sorry, couldn't resist...)

I got into Grimjack a little late... around the time of the Highschool reuinion... but I was HOOKED! I scoured every comic book I could find to track down each and every issue of Grimjack. And I have to say that Grimjack is one of my favorite parts of my collection. The one part that I would never part with. Thank you all for coming back to this book and sticking with it all these years. I am looking forward to witnessing John Gaunt's (and hopefully James Twiley's) further adventures. :)

I found this blog through trying to figure out how many blogs Glenn Hauman organized. :)

Posted by: Elayne Riggs at February 13, 2005 10:17 AM

Yep, the one man group blog, that's me. Found them all yet, Elayne? I think I'm up to twelve, and they aren't all run by the same folks... :)

Iam Ian,
I was got in to GrimJack late too, around issue 58. I believe I saw a flier for First Comics which showed the cover and I said "yowza" gotta have it! Got it, Read it, Loved it, and discovered more depth to it and had to have all the old issues. It just am,azed me at how amazingly complex it was, and remained my favourite comic book to this day. It took a while to get them but now Iam a proud owner of everything he was in. Now Iam 30 and back for round two.

Wow, I go back forever on GrimJack. My first exposure was Starslayer #13 and I was hooked from the first page. I got the back issues I missed quick and stayed on til the bitter end. I can honestly say, even with Alan Moore on Swamp Thing, Grell on Sable, Chaykin on American Flagg, GrimJack easily stood side by side with them on a regular basis. I went back and reread the Truman issues (By far my favorites, although Demon Wars is up there too) and it's amazing how well those issues hold up now twenty years later. Aw man, if that was twenty years ago...that means I'm forty...man do I feel old!

I'm a GrimJack newbie. I found this place simply because John told me it was here. The rest was just a matter of clicking around.

Fan since the 80s, bought the new premiere (dug it!) Came here for no good reason. Was thinking of writing fan email, but it's too early (in the morning) to think of anything to say.

It's good to be back in Cynosure. Can't wait to visit Munden's again.
