Superhero Spotlight: Jonas McCabe Bounty Hunter, Hero, Legend

This month's superhero spotlight is on Jonas McCabe.  Although not a superhero in the traditional sense; Jonas McCabe's adventurous exploits during the post Civil War era as a bounty hunter and US Marshal in the old west are filled with heroic deeds.  To many, Jonas is a hero, to others he is a bounty hunter to be feared, but to all who come to know him, he is a legend.

Jonas McCabe is born to slaves and the lone survivor of what has become known as The Potter's Field Massacre.  As an infant he is rescued by a white man and his Cherokee wife to be raised as their son and as a free man.  He is taught to believe that a man's worth is not determined by the color of his skin, but by his actions and deeds.

R. I. P. Rusty Haller

I am saddened by the news of my friend, fellow creator and Comicbook Artists Guild member Rusty Haller who passed away earlier this past week. I didn't know Rusty that long. But it didn't take long to know Rusty, to see that he was a gentle soul with an incredible talent. Like the rest of the comic book world I mourn his passing, but take joy in the knowledge that his beautiful artwork will keep his memory alive for generations to come. - R. I. P. Rusty Haller - You will be missed.

We were debuting CAG's latest publication, ICONIC. For those who haven't heard, ICONIC is a great family oriented graphic novel featuring ten stories written and drawn by various members of the CAG organization. All the stories feature well known characters of literature in tales that are sure to entertain readers of all ages. To purchase a copy of ICONIC, go to: www.comicartguild.com .
