I am blessed in my life to know many talented people.
One of the things I wanted to do when I visited schools, or signed books for Hulk Hercules was to be able to give out a freebie. Book marks are the usual thing, but I didn’t know how excited kids would be by a bookmark.
What was perfect, I thought, would be a video game token from Morty Moose’s, which serves an important role at a couple of points in the story. Morty’s is the book’s Chucky Cheese, a pizza and whack-a-mole place that the kids go to.
My friend Gerald Dagel is a master at little plastic things. We’ve known each other for years. We discussed the matter when we met up at a convention this summer, and Gerald volunteered to make the token. Morty on one side, Hercules on the other. From there, Bryon and our friend Aric Stewart would make molds, and we would create the little guys from plastic.
I’m excited to share pictures of the front and back of the Morty Moose token/Hercules coin with you today. The book’s out in January, and you can order it on your own, but you’ll need to talk to me about getting the coin. We can make that happen. I’ll always have a fistful for signings as well. Wiscon, for example, you should be able to get them.
Thanks, Gerald, for all your hard work. Your check’s in the mail.
Those are excellent.
That is awesome!
