It's a tradition for me - gotta do a Halloween Special, read Poe's "Raven", play some cool tunes... and you get to listen to an over-hour long Glow-in-the-Dark Radio Special!
And there's a brand new story from me! A little piece of psychological horror for the holiday - "Crackling Bones" If you want to hear that new one from me, you'll find it at 44:22. All that and more - over an hour's worth of Halloween entertainment!

Artists Needed For Two New Projects
If you've come to the blog as a result of my posting for artists, welcome. Thanks for checking this out! At this point I'm seeking pencilers or penciler/inkers for two stories which will be published by Earthbound Comics.
Always like to be up front - These aren't cash jobs. Instead, creators working with Earthbound get a comp and then issues at cost plus shipping to sell to make profits (akin to putting out your own book). There's more information at their site: http://earthboundcomics.com/index.php/submissions/. If this arrangement sounds beneficial to you, read on and see if you'd like to join my team.
I'm looking for an artist for the 21-page science fiction story "Alibi Jones: Vacation". This will be the centerpiece of issue #2 of The Adventures of Alibi Jones from Earthbound Comics. -- Alibi is an established character. This new story needs a sharp, futuristic look consistent with the character's other appearances in issue one and other stories. This story features Alibi trying to take a break with his girlfriend Katie on the planet Paradise, only to find a coup going down that they get caught up in.
I'm also seeking an artist for the 17-page urban fantasy "The Shift: Angela's Story". This is destined for the second issue of the anthology title Earthbound Comics Presents. -- Angela is seeing things. Things like strange looking woodland creatures walking down city streets, there one second, gone the next. Houses suddenly coated by growing ivy, only to appear clean a moment later. Now she's met a man who tells her what she's seeing is very real - our world and a world of magic are "Shifting" together thanks to the machinations of an evil sorcerer from the magic world. Angela's ability to see "The Shift" makes her special - this new acquaintance is looking to recruit her to his side of an upcoming battle.
Need to find the right artist to make these stories shine. If you are interested, please send me an email at: mike.luoma@gmail.com. Please include information about your work and links to your material online. Looking forward to hearing from you – Mike

19th Century History Inspires 22nd Century Tale!
It's an encore presentation on the new podcast episode:
Hear an encore presentation of the audio adaptation Alibi Jones: Blind Eye on today's episode of The Glow-in-the-Dark Radio Podcast! "Blind Eye" is now a part of the Audio AnthologyPodioracket Presents: Glimpses - available atPodiobooks.com - AND is included in comic book form in The Adventures of Alibi Jones #1, just out from Earthbound Comics! Seemed like a good time to feature the story here on my own podcast once again.
Wanted to give you something more than just the story, though - so there's a long bonus section after the story itself where I go into the historical roots of"Blind Eye". Even though the story is science fiction set in the next century, it is based on actual events that occured back in the 19th century. Find out what those events were on this episode! **If you want just the bonus material, it begins at the 32:32 mark. The story begins about 6 minutes in, after a promo for Podioracket Presents: Glimpses**
As for the story - It's 2135 - Alibi is in the SAIF (Solar Alliance Interplanetary Force) Mediation Corps. He handles negotiations between humanity and alien races, and occasionally oversees negotiations between alien races. He's the adopted son of the former head of the Solar Alliance, Anita Capituna, his "Aunt Anita". At a diplomatic function he attends on his aunt's behalf, Alibi hears talk of a new settlement. But the news sounds suspicious - could "Poyas" be more con job than colony? And what is Alibi's old girlfriend Shirra doing messed up in it?
The Adventures of Alibi Jones #1 is just 99 cents for the digital download at Drive Thru Comics: http://comics.drivethrustuff.com/product_info.php?products_id=94851 And it's just $2.99 for the 40 page printed comic book at Indy Planet: http://indyplanet.com/store/product_info.php?products_id=6027
