This Wednesday! Twisted Savage Dragon Funnies!

Wednesday July 20th from 6-8pm, I'll be signing alongside a bevy of amazing cartoonists at Jim Hanley's Universe. Why!? To celebrate the release of Twisted Savage Dragon Funnies, of course! You can read that large graphic above, can't you!? Well on it you'll see a long list of limning luminaries who'll happily delineate their moniker on your freshly purchased copy. I promise I won't talk like this in person. Hope to see you there!

Jim Hanley's is located at:

4 West 33rd St., New York, New York (opposite The Empire State Building) (212) 268-7088

Dumbo Digital Arts Summit Wrapup

I had a blast reading Vs. at this past weekend's Dumbo Digital Arts Summit. Thanks to the efforts of Jeff Newelt and Noah Norman the presentation went off largely without a hitch. Here are some of Seth Kushner's amazing photos to document my presentation.

All around it promises to be great way to close out your weekend festivities. I hope to see you there!

Pood on Forbidden Planet!

Thanks to everyone who came out to the FPNYC signing last night! I had a great time meeting all the fine folks and friends of Pood both new and old.

Thanks also to fellow Pood creators, Henrik Rehr, Bishakh Som, Mark Sunshine, Andrés Vera Martínez, Kevin Mutch, Adam McGovern and Alex for a wonderful evening!

La Repubblica's D Magazine!

Italy's premier national newspaper, La Repubblica, did a 9 page piece on the NYC graphic novel scene for their Saturday glossy magazine insert, D.

Also included in this article are photos and information about such luminaries as Mike Allred, Becky Cloonan, Simon Fraser, Dan Goldman, Laura Lee Gulledge, Dean Haspiel, Josh Neufeld, George O'Connor, Kat Roberts, Jim Shooter, Joe Simon and Art Spiegelman!
