ITEM! Groove-dom is such a great place. We've got die-hard fans, casual readers, life-time fans, young whippersnappers, guys, gals, a few aliens, and quite a few comicbook pros populating the FOOG army. Ya know Ol' Groove loves, loves, loves ya! I also know that you're a great, giving bunch who would go the extra mile for a fellow Groove-ophile--and that's just what I'm about to ask ya to do!

Lorna: Relic Wrangler has come upon some hard times. His wife has been hit with breast cancer, so Mr. Wallace is wrangling up all the commission work he can to help offset the cost of the surgeries and treatments she'll have to undergo. Loston's not asking for hand-outs (though I'm sure he'd be tickled with any financial help he can get!), he's working hard to pay the bills, and I hope as many of you as possible will
contact Loston with some commission bucks! Just so you can see for yourself how far-out his art is, here are a few samples of some commissions Loston's produced lately...
I know things are tight, but man, wouldn't it be cool to have some great art and help a man take care of his brave and beautiful wife at the same time?
E-mail Loston or contact him through his
Deviant Art page asap, Groove-ophiles! That's Loston Wallace at

ITEM! You might have noticed a bit of cyber-sprucing going on over in the sidebars. (And we
finally have a
Facebook page!) Well, Ol' Groove's straightenning up the place a bit, getting it ready for our THIRD ANNIVERSARY coming up this Wednesday. Why the housekeeping? Well, let's just say we're gonna have a bit of a new look around here. Hopefully it'll make Groove City more fun and functional. It's gonna be far-out and funky--and I sure hope you'll dig it! Just for a taste of what's to come, here's what the new header is gonna look like...
ITEM! Can't get enough
Captain America? The flick was far-out (four and a half out of five spangled stars on the Groove-O-Meter), and Ol' Groove's dying to see it for--yes--a
third time! To hold us over until the next viewing, here are some more of
Jack Kirby's Greatest Captain America hits, from
Captain America issues 100-109! Oh, yeah, the words are by Stan Lee! Wah-HOO!
Hey Groovyone!
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear about Loston Wallace's situtaion. I sure with these beautiful examples here. He's not going to have any problems raising any $$. I'll let all the Pros I know by forwarding this link onto them.
As well on the DC message board. I just saw a new clip of Capt.A the scenes of him hitting Hydra agents looks great. Like right out of a classic Kirby comic! Pure power! I normally don't care for over done acyion sequences. But these look dead on! Go Cap! Go! I hope he can stay #1 in his second week. The competition this summer is very stiff. I think he just might pull it off! Nuff said! True Believers!
