But first please this serious warning.
A message to all my friends and readers...
A notorious comics con-man is now active again. He preys on amateur/up-and-coming talent, getting them to produce him work with the promise of payment afterwards. Of course, he never pays.

His name is Rick Olney, representing Tightlip Entertainment, and the "Mighty Mini Con" convention, among others. He has numerous court judgements against him. He has screwed over industry pro's like Chuck Dixon, Val Staples, Gail Simone (con costs) and many, many more up-and-comers.
Do NOT negotiate with this person. You'll never see a dime.

Latest update news, July 27, 2009!

Recently received an e-mail from Tom Stillwell, about a serious news item you should all know about.
Noted comics writer John Ostrander, has been battling glaucoma for years now.
If he loses, he loses his eyesight.
John recently under went a surgical procedure called Glaucoma Filtration Surgery (trabeculectomy). The surgery is a treatment when medications cannot lower eye pressure enough. Excess interior fluid in the eye or pressure erodes the optic nerve � that's basically what glaucoma does. Over the past several decades, John had grown resistant or allergic to some of the meds he had been taking that have kept the pressure down.. Click link below for further details.

Though it pains me to do so I am going to have to cancel The Jam and look toward next year, due to low response and the economy plus some family medical issues, I just don't think this is the time to do this and make it the way I wanted to give you all the best IF can give. I will be concentrating on the publishing arm of IF. I will still have Fandom Hall of Fame presentations, maybe have at one of Nino's Table Cons.


I am now going to shoot for October 2010, anyone that paid already I will refund or can keep as reserve for next year. Still having it at 6 Corners. Again applogize and let's look forward to the future.

A new year and new outlook and projects. Starting to think about INTER-FAN Jam 2009, have a couple of locations we are looking at and maybe find a permanent place. Also for those who think we dropped the ball about the auction, we had some issues with our camera and hoping (weather permitted) to go to The Zone and hopefully get some photos taken.

We now have INTER-FAN PUBLICATIONS as well with the publishing of INTER-FANthology (which I will be getting back from the printer this coming week). We also have ashcans, INTER-FANthology Preview, INTER-ChainAPA, INTERFANtasy and NINOvisions. As I have now cracked the secret of making PDF files and coloring in PhotoShop, look for some new books to premier. We will be featuring unpublished IF art and newly discovered talent.

For all you Golden Age collectors (and you know who you are), Check out the link below. Free downloads of Public domain titles from Amazing-Man to Zaza the Mystic. Sorry no DC's or Timely's (Marvel).




Latest update news, December 24, 2008!

Happy Holidays to all!!!

Sorry, have been derelict in updating site but the last few months have been very busy. 2008 was a very productive year, we had our 2nd Annual IF Jam in Homewood Illinois. We handed out the first ever IF Fandom Hall of Fame award to the daughter of Alan Hanley, Krista. We are in the process of getting the long awaited INTER-FANthology printed and have published our ashcan version of the Anthology and am in the process of having three more done.

We have had our ups and downs and illness has touched the IF family as my secretary Kathleen Scianna is in the mist of chemo to battle breast cancer and i have great hopes she will be fine.

On a lighter note Steve (SonofDOC) and lovely wife and my daughter-in-la Sarah are expecting their second son any day now, his name is Connor Benjamin. Yeah named after Green Arrow's son Connor Hawke. Also found out that my other son Marcus has been hiding his artist talent and is quite good doing life drawing sketches so am having him try his hand at doing illos of horror as The Chaneys, Bela and Karloff.

Below is an ad I did for the Anthology that has appeared in some fellow creator's books.

Posted photos of the Homewood Hotel The Jam and the area where we will be holding, including inside the room plus the outside of the hotel and some of the downtown area.
Please go to the IF Jam Section for more updates.


Latest update news, April 9, 2008!


Well, one hurdle down, went to the hotel secured the room, don't need to bring deposit till next week. Got a pretty good deal for two days. Unfortunately he wouldn't budge on the room rates of $105.00 for a single and $115.00 for a double. A little high but you do get to use the pool they have there which is pretty nice. However, there are at least 5 other hotels around the Homewood so I will contact them and see what I can find out.

The shop (The Zone) is about a 5 minute drive from the hotel and there are plenty of shops and restaurants around. We will have a pre-Jam signing at the shop Friday for those who come. I will now send out an e-mail to see who is interested, We have tables for those who bought them for the canceled March show and OT has two artists interested, one of them being Doug Rice of Dynamo Joe fame.

OT the manager gave me contact info from one of the Chicago radio stations and getting contact info on groups we can try to help in the area.
Well that is pretty much all for now more later.


Latest update news, April 3, 2008!



Yeah, we had some more updates and issues with the site, but all is alright now. Today I sent in the non-profit paperwork and check for the fee to the IRS, so I am hoping to get the tax ID in a week or so ans in the mean time I am preparing an application for a grant.

I am also getting things together for The IF Jam in August in cooperation with The Comic Zone in Homewood, Il. Met with OT the manager and Steve Piscione of Kaosfield Studios and who also does the producing of The Comic Code a weekly show The zone does every Wednesday. Wally was also there as was Lady DOC, we are planning to have The jam on the weekend of August 15, maybe even two days if things go right. I just heard from Alex Nino that he and others from California may make a trip out. Speaking of The Jam I just downloaded all the pics taken from the 2007 show, so please take a look.

The INTER-FANthology book is coming along, looks like perhaps a 50 page book, Tim Tobolski is working inking the cover as we speak and still waiting for some more art to come in, deadline May 1, 2008 or there abouts.

Oh, the site will be going over a radical change soon, as we go into the Blog Era and folks will be able to actually comment within the different sections we have. Now some sections like the various history ones will be combined into one. As The Forum itself never really took off we thought this might be better. Thanks Nick!

Want to also thank Stacy and Kathy (Treasurer and Secretary, respectively), for putting up with my texts and e-mails while we try to get this non-profit status done.


Latest update news, March 20, 2008!



Sorry been away so long the site was transferred to a new platform and could not access the Control Panel, but now I can.

We have now added Sam Catalino to our ever expanding line of article writers so I hope you enjoy what he has to say!

The 2008 IF JAM is in preparation, and is dedicated to the man below:


My father (Wilfred "Fred" Maurice Boucher) passed away the other day after a slight illness that seemed none of us saw coming. He was a great influence to me and my brothers (some good some bad) to me he was a great leader who always taught us the meaning of doing a job right.
He was a task master but for the right reasons. He used to have a look that when he was mad at you stared at you and you'd wish he would hit you instead of giving "the look".
He also taught us to help others when needed. He was a scout master for our Catholic based troop and would try to go to the darker side of town to recruit boys ho needed help. He also had the first black scout who became a good friend to me, which taught me color doesn't matter. When my dad retired from scouts his replacement was a Jewish scoutmaster which was quite unheard of but my dad liked pushing the envelope especially if it was for someone worthy. This is what I try to emulate with what I do with IF and when helping others at work.
He was also a bit of a rat pack and had a collection of 1000's of LPs (you youngsters would know them as long playing records), and '78 from the 30's and 40's. I spent the summer taping all those onto reel to reel tapes and was great listening, Jazz, blues, big bands. Still have the tapes but the recorder is broken so need to fix. He also had memorabilia from his war days, He had items he got while POW in Germany.
He also got me my first comic in 1966 as he used to take to The Corner Store for chocolate cokes. My dad though comics were fine as he used to read The Shadow pulps.
Over all he was a good man and I will miss him very much especially our summer talks at night when I was little. Not sure how to feel I am sad but I know he is in a good place, guess I will feel the affects soon.
Ciao Dad, you and Mom are now back altogether as a team. Enjoy heaven and hope to see you there soon.
Love
Lance DOC Boucher

Well it's almost that time of year again for WizardWorld -Chicago and so that we can all keep track I have installed a counter..Unfortunately due to family medical matters the INTER-FANology will probably not be out till early next year.
