Frederick's Mike Imboden interviewed

See:

Episode 89: Jimmy Gownley - Mike Imboden
Comixology's It Came Out On Wednesday blog March 11, 2009

In the sixth New York Comic Con 2009 special podcast, we're joined by Amelia Rules creator Jimmy Gownley and by Mike Imboden, creator of Fist of Justice from Digital Webbing.

Maryland creator Mike Imboden profiled at Pulse!

See "MIKE IMBODEN RAISING THE FIST OF JUSTICE," Jennifer M. Contino, Comicon's The Pulse (January 6 2009).

Mike Imboden's Fist of Justice

Frederick, Maryland's Mike Imboden and his Fist of Justice comic book is profiled in "Frederick Writer Creates Comic Book Hero," Associated Press February 11, 2008. I picked up a couple of his books at a con late last year - he does some nice parody covers of early Marvel books.
