The Curator of Schlock #421: Stepfather II
“My name is the Goose Lord!” The words were uttered with a grating command. The Joe Spinel look-a-like laughed heartily at the defeat of his two arch-enemies: The Curator of Schlock and the Revenging Manta, the ninja vigilante of downtown Orlando. I was cradling my right hand wondering where my severed index finger had gotten… Continue reading

The Curator of Schlock #420: The Stepfather
The Revenging Manta, the ninja vigilante of downtown Orlando, lay in a crumpled heap on the floor of the Battle Beyond the Stars exhibit in the Museum of Schlock. I was still cradling my bleeding hand as my finger had been just bitten off by Count Zarth Arn from Starcrash. “Take care of him,” Count Zarth Arn said… Continue reading

The Curator of Schlock #418: The Manitou
The Revenging Manta, the ninja vigilante of downtown Orlando, and myself were traipsing through the upper floors of the Museum of Schlock.

The Curator of Schlock #417: Alien 3 (The Assembly Cut)
I walked softly on the hardwood floor of The Fifth Cord exhibit, the Revenging Manta trailing close behind. It was then that I saw the most horrifying sight.

The Curator of Schlock #416: The Lost Boys
The Revenging Manta and I were stumbling around in the dark of the Spookies exhibit in the Museum of Schlock. Funny enough. This exhibit was left mostly intact. Someone had removed the yellow dress shirt that adorned the were-cat mannequin. I could have sworn I saw the robot sheriff Elle out of the corner of my eye,… Continue reading

The Curator of Schlock #415: Spookies
The Revenging Manta, the ninja vigilante of downtown Orlando, and I were sneaking inside the Museum of Schlock, trying to surprise the punks who’d seized my property. We entered through a secret passageway in the Starcrash exhibit. No punks to be seen, but I got the eerie feeling that we were being watched. Maybe it was the… Continue reading

Comics Are Trying to Break Your Heart #219: A Neighborly Spirit
There’s a terror in changing, even more so when it involves the home. We think of our homes as the safest places we can be—it’s where, for the most part, we’re allowed to let ourselves simply be without the outside world creeping in. But then we have to move. The world has already seeped into… Continue reading

The Curator of Schlock #412: The Unseen
The Curator of Schlock #412 by Jeff Shuster The Unseen Why do they always go into the basement? The Revenging Manta, the ninja vigilante of downtown Orlando, said he had a surprise for me. A couple blocks from his apartment was a secret garage and inside that garage was a mint green Kawasaki Fury with… Continue reading

The Curator of Schlock #411: Skinamarink
The Curator of Schlock #411 by Jeff Shuster Skinamarink Skiddy-Mer-Rink-A-Doo The Revenging Manta, the ninja vigilante of downtown Orlando, fitted me with a kevlar vest because we were going back to the Museum of Schlock to clean house.
