albabe (The Writer/Artist/Muscian Formally Known As Al Gordon - as he is commonly known) has been doing that comic book thing (thang) for lo these last thirty years, and has lent his Inker moniker to quite a few legendary-like titles in our fabulously fantastic, four-color universe: Spider-Man, Spider Woman, The Fantastic Four, The Justice League, The Legion of Super-Heroes, to name but an itty-bitty few. He also debuted his Writing talents on that same Legion of Super-Heroes with kosmic Keith Giffen, moved on to Writing and Inking a Timber Wolf mini-series with jibin' Joe Phillips, and then up-shifted a boat-load of pulse-poundin' creative energy to his and jocular Jerry Ordway's Wickedly Wondrous creation... WildStar.

Al says that scribin' and inkin' WildStar was the way-coolest time he has ever spent in that muse-manic cacophony of creativity. Which sorta brings up a question Al and I get asked at just about every con we show our mugs at. "What the heck is going on with WildStar?" Good question. The sorry answer is that, a regular series is not affordable to do with the current market on life support. I know Al would love to do it, more than anything, after all, da Gordster says he was just gettin' his sea legs with this WildGuy when the comics industry took a flyin' nose dive. And in that dim light, this kaleidoscopicly crazy cyber-type comic-con is just what the physic ordered. If thou art interested, do Check-out the WildStar Trade paperback, which reprinted the four-ish mini series: WildStar: Sky Zero, and the first three issues of the regular WildStar series (with Chris Marrinan penciling).

Not too terribly long ago (the whole Time/Space Continuum, Individuated Consciousness thing has always been a problem with da Gordster) Big Al had a blast working with "addictingly" dazzling Alan Moore, and some guy who won't friend Big Al on FaceBook, Chris Sprouse, on a "spumoniously" spectacular book called Tom Strong, a sorta-symbolic, post-retro modern, semi-iconoclastic, brand-new but quasi-Jules Verne take on the SuperHero genre. Check 'em all out at yer local comicbook type store or participating Local Library. And as of the most recent temporality, Al has been colluding with terrifyingly talented Tom Yeates and bodaciously adept Bo Hampton on "The Once and Future Tarzan," which appeared as Nine (9) Installments in Dark Horse Presents, as a One-Off - reprinting the first 3 (Three) DHP Chapters, and finally as a TPB Compilation released in January 2018. Previews can be seen at albabe's FB page.

Al also Majored in Music Theory and plays Guitar, Keyboards, and the Recording Studio, and sings like an ill Parakeet doing a bad impersonation of Reverend Jim Ignatowski.

Albabe thinks Erik Larsen is a pretty cool guy and a good friend.

He lives in sin with his beautiful Gal/Wife/Woman-Thing, Ms. Cutler.
