The World’s Most Awesome Comic Magazine
Yes, you read that right: El Gorgo! issue #2 is now shipping! Thanks to everyone who pre-ordered copies! You will be receiving them this week. And if you haven’t bought a copy yet, now’s a great time to do so! And we still have copies of issue #1 in stock! Get them while you can!
And we have t-shirts! now, in case you missed it!
Enough shameless plugging!!!! Thanks to everyone for their support so far! We’ll have some sneak-peaks of issue #3 coming soon!
To celebrate the arrival of El Gorgo! issue #2 in print, we’re giving you even MORE STUFF TO BUY!!!!!
We’re very pleased to announce that we now have El Gorgo! t-shirts for sale, in partnership with Spreadshirt!
All our t-shirts are 100% cotton Hanes shirts, available in both men’s and women’s styles and your choice of colors. Prior to offering these shirts for sale, the dilligent monkeys at El Gorgo! HQ tested several for quality and durability. The conclusion: El Gorgo himself would proudly wear these shirts, if he actually wore shirts!
We’ll be periodically adding and retiring designs, so if you see one you like, snap it up while you can!
To quote El Gorgo! writer extraordinaire, "Magnificent" Mike McGee:
… But you don’t have to buy them! No, in this brave new electronic age, you can through the power of the internet embrace — for free! — virtual versions of clothing that would once have required actual cotton and the labor of dozens of hardworking seamstresses/seamsters (?) to —
Oh. Oh, wait. No. No, actually, I’m sorry. I’m being told that you do have to buy them. BUT! I myself have already purchased prototypical versions of two (there are four magnificent designs in all!!!), and I assure you that these function much as t-shirts in your experience ordinarily do, covering your torso and upper arms in a sheath of high-quality fabric. BUT THESE T-SHIRTS ARE DIFFERENT IN THAT THEY GIVE YOU SCIENCE POWER. They also wash well and feature designs that will survive my dryer!!! And, I can only presume, your own dryer, too. These truly are the shirts that El Gorgo himself would wear if he wore shirts!!! He doesn’t, but you probably should, because it is wintertime…but THESE shirts you will want to wear even when it is NOT COLD. You will want to wear them all year round! But for the love of God, please wash them on occasion.
…Please.

Hola!!! I, El Gorgo, am at last blogging!!! It is possible that you are now asking — as though I were there in the very same room with you!! — “But El Gorgo! Are you not consumed by the task of writing a sequel to your critically-lauded historical epic, Fires of Antietam?!” Indeed! Yet even El Gorgo cannot write on such weighty themes all the hours of the day! “But El Gorgo!! What of the long-awaited new album from the world’s greatest surf rock band, Gorgo-A-Go-Go?! Should you not be recording it even now?!” YES! And I am, even as I type these very words — for El Gorgo records much of his finest work playing guitar with his fortunately nimble feet!! “But El Gorgo!!! What of your never-ending battle against the forces of eldritch darkness and unspeakable evil in all its hideous forms???!!!”
My friends. Allow me to explain. Although it is true that evil abounds — will we never be free of its blight? — it is true also that when one dwells too long in darkness, one becomes a thing of darkness himself. It is not the place of El Gorgo to cast aspersions upon fictional “heroic” characters with whom you may be familiar, but I will say this: Many “crises” may be circumvented if one approaches each day with a spring in one’s step, a lightness in one’s heart, and a joie de vivre in one’s soul. This is the credo by which your humble servant, El Gorgo!, lives!!! Also: “When in doubt, kick-punch it in the face.” (You may wish to read that metaphorically.) At all events!!! The point is this: If El Gorgo were to spend all his free time battling evil, then only evil would he know! No, amigos; this would not do. And so!!! To blogging!!!
For yes!!! It is the hope of El Gorgo that here he can “touch base” with those who know him through his works — or perhaps even through the four-color comical book that chronicles his adventures: El Gorgo: The World’s Most Awesome Comics Magazine!!! I assure you that El Gorgo reads every issue, and certifies that every event therein is an account of something that actually happened!!! (I believe I am slightly less grandiose than Mr. McGee would have you conclude, however; and Mr. Jakab might more accurately reflect my weight in his otherwise excellent drawings. I am quite trim!!! These small misgivings aside, I endorse their periodical wholeheartedly.) While I am contractually obligated not to “spoiler” future events of said publication, I would be happy to reply to any and all other questions regarding its content…indeed, to any questions at all!!! I ask only that you “keep it clean”…this is, after all, El Gorgo’s virtual “living room!!!”
Buenas noches…FOR NOW!!!
EL GORGO!
