TALES FROM THE DEAD ASTRONAUT #1
Well, today is the first day that I will have a release for New Comic Book Day. TALES FROM THE DEAD ASTRONAUT (as many of you are aware) was my first real attempt at telling stories in comic book form. What Jorge and I put together is nothing short of spectacular. It is my Grant Morrison childhood infused with Jorge’s manic manga style energy.
It’s crazy, it’s cool, 2,563 copies were ordered by shops. Which, is well beyond that original 250 copies that we put together last August.
I don’t know how to feel. Nervous for sure.
I really hope that this is the beginning of really great things. The gang at Source Point has been really great to us and I hope that relationship continues. As you know I have far too much in production to not have home for them.
Here’s the original self-published version alongside todays #1!
Speaking of which…some more teases.
ALL IN now has a cover slowly being worked on:
THE KILLER has undergone the name change to NIGHT OF THE COMET and is just fucking eyeball melting great. Here are some more pages:
COUNTERFEIT with Rossano has its pitch pages done and just awaiting the great lettering of Rob Jones who joined us on Burn Residue. Here’s page 1:
A GAME OF DOUBLES is out to backers. BURN RESIDUE Hardcover is out to backers.
Now, I am back in scripting stage while NIGHT OF THE COMET completes. I am going the Tom King way and fully scripting COUNTERFEIT and my next project with Attila before they even get a chance to dig in.
In bigger news I am planning some shifts for 2022 which will probably be a Patreon that doles out new comics weekly. Probably $3 a month. If I do that this newsletter will end and everything will be moved there.
As of right now I know we’ll have THE EYE with Gabe Ostley and an Untitled Werewolf project with the dynamic Shlepzig in that rotation. A monthly newsletter as well as a wip monthly update.
Just things I’m kicking around right now. Let me know if that interests you all!
Thanks for tuning into our frequency once again and make sure you grab your copy of TALES FROM THE DEAD ASTRONAUT #1 off the shelves today!
