Happy Mother's Day to the most amazing wife,
@DebTucci
. I am so honored that you are the mother of our children. Happy Mother's Day to all you ladies. Enjoy your day!
It's been almost two years since Marvel Comics' bombastic New 'New Warriors' rollout. "The classic team reunites to mentor a new generation of heroes!"
Did Snowflake and Safespace ever come out?
Asking for a friend.
I told the Comics Code Authority to go to hell back in ‘94 and today I say the same to the cancerous NEO CODE SJWs. They are ticks upon our industry who have doxed me and threatened my family. So much so the FBI took it serious enough to come to our house. And over what?
Nothing this man saying is false. You think the major publishers would see their business as well, a business. So who among you out there is already plotting his cancelation and business' distruction.
Remembering the greatest ever, Frank Frazetta, (February 9, 1928 - May 10, 2010) who passed away on this day in 2010. I have the forever honor to call him a friend and have a

cover immortalized by his brush.

You will never find me saying a bad thing about anyone in comics. I will NEVER bend a knee to your cancel culture fascism or attempted gatekeeping. I'm an Indy comics creator & you don’t matter enough to ever cancel me. I am

I did not know Ed Piskor but I'm saddened to hear of his passing and am sickened by all the events that tragically led to this day. Another cancel mob is roused by cowards. Only this time they didn't just destroy a career, but the lives of everyone who loved him. Shame on them.
I would assume that since Marvel abandoned/cancelled it due to their obviously insincere pandering, that it was all just a gimmick that they never believed in, in the first place.
I told the the Comics Code Authority to go fuck themselves in ‘94 and now I say it to these cancerous NEO CODE SJWs. I'm Billy Fuckin' Tucci and I'm here to entertain. If you agree, please follow me.

Unlike how the majority of media like depicting dads as beta buffoons and the butt of jokes (check out any commercial), dads are heroes. Anyone can father a child, not everyone can be a “dad.”
This is the last photo of Ladder 7 Heroes before heading in to the Trade Center on September 11, 2001. Please take moment to remember our fallen heroes, for we shall forever live in their shadow.

33 YEARS AGO TODAY, 2/4/89, this adorable, green-eyed beauty agreed to go out on a "First Date" with me. Through all the ups & downs, highs & lows, good times & bad, in sickness & in health we've never doubted one another. Love you honey now more than ever & Happy Anniversary!
Happy Anniversary to my amazing wife! It is an honor to have built a life with you and I cannot wait to see what the future holds. I love you and I will never leave your side and I'll always be your Day Dream Believer.
As of yesterday, my beautifully strong warrior wife
@DebTucci
is officially 10 Years

! You are so loved and admired by all who meet you and you made me the luckiest man in the world. You are the center of our universe.

If I told you comic book pros would be publicly berating their fellow peers’ work (i.e. livelihood) & threatening one another physically five years ago, you’d tell me I’m nuts. So, seriously, how in the world did we come to this?

80 years is quite an accomplishment. Wonder Woman is an American icon and comic books would never be what they are today without her. Happy Anniversary. Beautiful, art saving colors by the incomparable

It was truly an honor to embrace and talk to one of the most impressive,humble and warmest comic book creators in the past 30 years. Astounding to witness how appreciative, humble and engaging Eric is to his fans.

Lucky morning! Bought two boxes of ammo cheap. Stopped at a gas station on the way home & this BEAUTIFUL gal filling up next to me turned & purred, "I'm a big believer in barter, sir. Would you trade SEX for ammo?"
I thought for a few seconds & asked, "What kind of ammo ya' got?"
SNEAK PEAK WIP of the 2022 6" Classic Shi comics action figure through Executive Replicas. Left figure shows improvements all around (though we're going with the earlier bustline & skirt flaps) with more improvements coming. Also working on an all-new 12"! Thoughts?
So this friend, inspiration and hero of mine came by the booth TWICE. One of the best people in the history of comics,
@Todd_McFarlane
looks fantastic. I forgot to ask him about making a
@Barzal_97
action figure. Thanks bud, you made my day

I'm in the emergency room w/a torn bicep muscle from lifting an overfilled yard bin filled with branches & leaves... and OF COURSE it's my drawing arm. Power's also been out for over 27 hours w/no answers (except the rumor it could take two weeks!) We will endure!
#NoSurrender
Remembering the incomparable Michael Layne Turner on what would have been his 51st birthday. He turned a page in comics history, is sorely missed and will never be forgotten.
Regarding my earlier post to never give up the dream. 30 years ago, after being rejected by every comic company. I was flat broke & submitting Shi

to comic distributors. Fail or Fly, nothing was going to stop me from self-publishing my creator-owned comic. 7 months later...
HAPPY ANNIVERSARY,
@DebTucci
! Words cannot express my feelings when realizing just how amazing my life has become. My love for you will never waiver through all the decades, the triumphs, scares, laughter and tears... thank you for giving me our world. I love you.
Just a very rough, “rough” but I think I can make this work as a good comics cover for Shi: Sakura. I imagine the low angle will allow for dramatic burning blossoms and cherry trees behind her.
There is hope for all starving artists out there. I was six months behind in my rent and eating Raman daily the day Shi

debuted. Since then, the property has seen more than 3 million comics in print and grossed over $25,000,000.00.

It is with the heaviest of heart to inform you that my beloved father-in-law, Andrew L. Steffens passed away early Monday morning after a very long battle with pulmonary fibrosis and lung cancer.
Comforting prayers for our dear friend

Remember this is a business. You make a business decision and commitment, you stick by it come hell or high water. That said,

Really getting sick and tired of all the whining, complaining and negative tweets on my feed. Quit your bitching. Nobody cares and you’re annoying the shit out of everyone but the 100 or so other whiners you need to feel validated by.
Happy 34th, "First Date" Anniversary DebI'll never forget what you wore that night. Through all the years, triumphs and tragedies you'll always be "My Lady". Love You!
Finishing up the last Shi cover for Sakura. It's the "Rough Cut Edition" cover. Indiegogo campaign ends in less than two weeks. After this cover, it's just one more for a friend and then it's time to finish all my commissions!
Three tips that can change your life:
1) Never reply when you are angry.
2) Never make a promise when you are happy.
3) Never make a decision when you are sad.
#peacelovecomics
Ok, I’m home! Thank you all for your prayers and well wishes. Will need surgery and then physical therapy ASAP, but just tried drawing and it’s all good as apparently you can have a torn bicep and still draw with some pain and discomfort. Hitting the art table in the morning.
So proud of our son, William for passing his AWS Certification! He’s now an officially Certified Welder (CW). He’s devoted to his craft and doing great up at school In Schenectady.
