Odds ‘n’ Ends

Thanks to everyone who’s been reading and leaving feedback about the stories. Here’s an update on a bunch of stuff, since it’s been a while:

My collaboration with Hyeondo Park, COME THE DAWN, will appear in NEGATIVE BURN #8, shipping to comics stores next Wednesday, January 31. To ease your comic-store browsing, here’s the cover, by Karl Waller:

Mike Fiffe and I are truly grateful for the extremely positive responses we’ve been getting for REST STOP. Seriously, you people are sick. Anyway, we’ve just been informed that it’s been selected to appear in NEGATIVE BURN #9, which will be in stores at the end of February. Check out the cover by ALIAS artist Michael Gaydos:

While we’re on the NEGATIVE BURN tip, Greg McElhatton posted a qualified but generally favorable review of A LITTLE FRIENDLY ADVICE as part of his review of NB #7. (For the record, Greg, I think we’re the second-best in the book, too - that Michael Cho story is aces.)

If you liked REST STOP, you’re going to love THE GENTLEMAN, another EC-type thriller coming your way the first week in February, drawn by Umberto Torricelli, who has a LiveJournal here, and whose terrific comic, UNCERTAINTY PRINCIPLE, can be read as part of the DE-ACT-i-VATE collective.

In the meantime, you’ll be treated to a collaboration I did a few years back with the great, great Roger Langridge, of FRED THE CLOWN and ART D’ECCO fame. You can - nay, MUST - buy these books from his publisher Fantagraphics, here. Go ahead. I’ll wait.

So, lots of stuff, and more to come!
