About Me

Welcome to my web site.  My name is Ed Indovina.

Now, well some have said that this site is a scattershot of many interests I think it suits my, and fellow fiction enthusiasts well. After all, if you’re main interest is Dr. Who, or Batman, or 70s genre horror films, or mainstream or obscure fantasy/science fiction chances are you have an interest in similar products.

Thus, the feel and appearance of this web site.

As an Omnifictionado, I think you will appreciate the offerings on this site, we present musings and actual copies of all things, comic, prose, filmed, etc…

I have been reading fiction and particularly comic book and pulp fiction for well over 4/5 of my existence.

As a result of that I own one of the largest comic book/comic character collections in the free world.

In terms of actual physical volumes there are approximately 32,000 comics not counting the associated magazine, hard covers, soft covers, reference manuals, etc… on the bookshelves.

One word of note: Every book has been read in the collection. Yes, even the ‘sacred’ ones like X-Men 94, Incredible Hulk 181, Sensation comics 12, Captain Marvel Adventures #21, etc…

I have also developed into a writer of fiction: in the form of short stories, film scripts, Pulp stories,children’s stories and full length novels.

Currently, my pulp character, John Hasard has a digest published featuring two of his adventures, All Things Sublime and A Charmed Marriage released by Pro Se Press.

My horror script Rosary will be developed into a motion picture and actually was a finalist, in its first draft, of the Buffalo Screams Horror Film script competition  in 2012.

Local artist and musician, Kurt Andrew, completed drawings for the children’s books Melanie and the Easter Pig, Melanie and the Frankenduck, Melanie and the Llama, and Leo the Lamb.

Melanie and the Easter Pig has been published under the Corrigans Basement imprint and is available for worldwide distribution.

I also published my first novel, We, The People, with local publisher, Starry Night Publishing as a self-published project.

Additionally, my associate, Dennis O’Fletcher, essays and history on comic books have been published.

On top of all that I have been in the automotive repair business for close to thirty years and am well versed in diagnostics and repairs of European high end vehicles.

My other passion as of recently has been proclaiming the rights and power of the individual.  For one, I do not believe in the current state of blind loyalty towards a single person or political party belief.  What I do believe in is the following:

I believe in universal health care. Not the graded and sectionalized plans that they have convinced us to have but in equal plans for one and all. I believe in the requirements of our society to help and assist those that are less fortunate. I also believe emphatically in the power of the individual. The power that allows any and all of us to achieve what we put our minds to and to accomplish our hearts’ desires and what we want to be by the power of our selves and our hard work regardless of our gender, ethnicity, or social class. I believe in a limited government and limited set of rules that limit the aforementioned pursuit of dreams.

What I don’t believe in is blind following, protests without a cause and discrimination of any kind.  If you are going to protest what you feel is an unfair occurrence or occurrences then you should be willing to put your money where your mouth is. If you feel that conditions aren’t being corrected then form a group where you can contribute to the cause. For example, if you feel that the homeless shouldn’t live under a bridge then open your home to house one of them. Remember, one person, in the right place at the right time can win the battle, heck, even the war. If you want to merely march and complain yet offer no solution then do us all a favor and march off the cliff like the lemming you are.

For 2018 I will be beginning a consistent blog that comments on prior commented subjects and others.

Comments, complaints, and general insults can be hurled at me at ed@edwardjindovina.com

I look forward to hearing from you, because my other great hobby is the lost art of debate.  So, if you have an opposing viewpoint I embrace that.  The world wasn’t built on like-minded ideas!

Thanks,

Ed Indovina
