Company history

Cyber Age Adventures, created by Frank Fradella, first appeared on the Web as weekly ezine on January 1, 1999. A little more than a year later, the format had moved to a monthly, and had expanded the offerings beyond the original one story format.

In the three years that the ezine was published, we garnered nearly every award that can be given to an electronic magazine, including the Writer's Digest Grand Prize for their Zine Publishing Awards.

What is this place?

This is the future of superheroes. This is Cyber Age Adventures.

We're not a comic book. We're a universe of ground-breaking, thought-provoking fiction delivered in a superhero setting. Because superheroes aren't a genre unto themselves. They're a setting, like deep space, or underwater. If you obey the rules of the setting, you can tell any kind of story you can imagine. Romance, horror, comedy, adventure... the gamut lies wide open.

We tell stories about people here. They just happen to be people with superpowers. Or people who wear masks.

But people nevertheless.

Our goal is to provide literate, outstanding entertainment that smashes the stereotypes and delivers superheroes into a brand new medium.
