Just saw Disclosure Day!

In 1987, I created an alien named Zen, along with artist Dan Cote. What always fascinated me wasn't whether aliens existed. It was a different question: If someone from another world arrived here tomorrow, would we fear him—or try to understand him? Would we see a threat? Or would we see a person? Nearly forty years later, we're still asking those same questions. That's one of the reasons I find the conversations surrounding Disclosure Day so interesting. Perhaps the most important question isn't whether we're alone in the universe. It's how we would treat someone who isn't. If humanity made first contact tomorrow, what do you think our first reaction would be: fear, curiosity, or hope?

Talent agent extraordinaire Pierre Patrick and myself at the 85th birthday celebration for hair salon impresario Freddy Segal, at the site of his home in the Pacific Palisades that is in the process of being rebuilt after the devastating fires. Freddy is a bibliophile, and I was pleased to sign several of my graphic novels and The Real Superheroes of Beverly Hills illustrated novel for him.

I’d like to thank the folks at Gray Fox Comics for their glowing review of the Voidwalker graphic novel by myself and @garylaibart, and calling it one of the best books of the year. Voidwalker was a true labor of love on both our parts, a fantasy project that germinated for over 20 years. The book was funded by a crowdfunding campaign on the ZOOP platform, so if you didn’t order it, it may be a bit hard to get hold of. But with a little luck, it will find wider publication soon.

Lots of new alien life files were released by the government recently, but some of us have known the truth all along! #zenintergalacticninja #1firstcomics #kenflevin

If you haven’t heard “Abused” — the powerful new song I co-wrote with singer-songwriter Liyah Bey — be sure to check it out now on YouTube, Spotify, Apple Music, and everywhere you get your music. Something very exciting is beginning to happen around Liyah’s music… and the audience is about to get a whole lot bigger. And this summer, look for a major live performance in Southern California as the next chapter begins.

Here is my publisher and manager, Ken F. Levin (exec producer of The Boys) and his faithful companion, Kowalski. We’ll both be at the 1First Comics booth at the Amazing Vegas con starting next Friday. Ken will have his great kids book, Mr. Boo (starring Kowalski) and I’ll have copies of several Zen Intergalactic Ninja books, as well as The Real Superheroes of Beverly Hills illustrated novel. Hope to see you there!

With genius showrunner/writer of The Boys, Eric Kripke and actress Mandy Fason at a screening of the show’s final episode at the DGA. Huge kudos to my publisher and manager Ken F. Levin, one of the key forces behind bringing The Boys to the screen in the first place.

Here’s a great piece of fanart by an artist whose name indicates he’s probably either Russian or Lithuanian – but whatever his derivation, I’m loving his reinterpretation of the classic cover of Zen Bounty Hunter by Bill Maus.
