This was my first story in the entire Public Domain Super Heroes universe.
I wrote it while working a ‘real’ job and trying to figure out the scope and plans for not only the stories, but the business side of the idea.
At the time, I have VERY different ideas of how I’d be making money from my concept. Initially, I was thinking I would take a couple of characters, write simple stories and then find a way to animate them via a Kickstart.
That was August, 2025, ish. Things have evolved a great deal since then.
The plan, the whole plan has gone through big changes and my writing has taken on a different shape as well.
Still want to bring this little story to animated life. Love the idea SO much.
That’s understandable. Certainly, the more we write, the more we develop our style (which is crazy any writer would hand that over to a machine—but I guess they’re not real writers, eh?)
I could see this being a fun Saturday Morning cartoon, like Batman the Animated Series.
I absolutely love Heavy Metal, even if it doesn’t entirely make sense. It’s good fun. And still has one of the best film soundtracks ever—but I’m also partial to classic rock.
Yep, no shame in dreaming. Despite the agents saying no to me, I’ll still get my novel published, one way or another.
Guess he should've stayed as Spy Smasher. 😋
Also, is this set somewhere in South/Central America? I don't know if that was established anywhere.
Yep. First line of chapter 1.
That’s the trouble with serialization. Details get forgotten over a week of rest.
But, I’m happy to offer the refresher!
Thanks for reading!
Chapter 3 in two days!
Oh weird how I missed that. But it didn’t take me a week to forget it! I do feel a few extra details about the town would help cement the location.
Looking forward to Spy Smasher getting out of his sticky situation. (har har)
You’re not wrong.

That’s totally the original idea.
Now that I’ve expanded the plan to include SO much more, I see an anthology series.
Something like a PG version of Heavy Metal. There’s built in connective tissue in my stories, it’s all in one universe. It would work, I’m 100% sure.
I would love a show that takes Bruce Timm’s or Genndy Tartakovsky’s direction and puts them together with my stories.
Dreaming, I know, but dreams are supposed to be big.
