Do you consider yourself to be a fan of
comic books? If so, are you familiar with Dyn-A-Mic Tales? If your
comic book tastes harken back to the good old days where stories were
important and heroes were actually good people, you should check us
out! Why is that, you ask? Dyn-A-Mic Tales stars super-heroes: Dark
Thunder and Red Web. The creators (James E. Babcock and Rich Konkle)
weave intricately detailed stories involving characters with depth
and fleshed out back stories. The humor is intelligent and quirky,
and the characters are believeable and relatable.
In Rich's own words: "(Dyn-A-Mic
Tales) is a double feature because (James has) a backlog of
characters and concepts to try out...and this puts them in print
twice as fast. In this issue, we have a goofy, super-hero satire
("Dark Thunder") paired with a mysterious, mythical
"goddess" ("Red Web"). I can attest that James
has other crime-fighting, sci-fi, and espionage characters waiting in
the wings. Whatever shows up in future issues, though, the one common
denominator will be costumes and super-powers. James is "old
school" that way." - Rich Konkle
In James's own words: "Dark
Thunder is an overly-muscled, square-jawed caricature...a beloved,
big jerk of a super-hero who was unknowingly cursed with an alter
ego...which caused him to frequently morph into a nervous, bumbling
little peon called "Norman"! Think "Superman becomes
Mr. Magoo"! Of course these two nut jobs can't stand each other,
and only want to return to their "normal" existence.
"Red Web" is a more recent
creation. My first attempt actually looked like a very young
Spider-Man, but with a HUGE amount of hair trailing behind her. I
quietly thought this looks stupid, since she'd be constantly tripping
over it to get to the bad guys! So then I thought, "Why not add
a webbing look to it, and make it an actual SUPER-POWER?" The
webbed "hair" would be red...and out of NOWHERE I uttered
her name for the first time: "RED WEB"!
"So there you have it. "Dyn-A-Mic Tales" is meant to
be a creative incubator: a place to try out those unused heroes and
heroines still crammed inside my filing cabinet...give them
life...and see if they grow! ...And once they've had their day in the
sun, it'll be time for two other lonely, unused characters to finally
make their premiere! Should be fun!" - James E. Babcock
