It's rare that a written interview almost makes me cry, but my longtime friend and fellow comic writer, journalist, and martial artist Chris Massari did just that. Give third multi-media piece a read. Thanks Chris! chrismassari.substack.com/p/interview-...

@pranadms.bsky.social spoke with @joshuafrantic.bsky.social and I about the rise, fall, and rise again of SOURCE POINT PRESS as we complete our relaunch this month entering the LUNAR catalog. Got questions? Watch this interview about the past and future of the publisher... and what it means to you!

This weekend I'll be returning to @baltimorecomiccon.bsky.social for the first time in a few years, and to celebrate the @ringoawards.bsky.social nomination for HOMESTEAD. I'll have very limited copies available for signing at Booth #1812 Friday from 5:00pm-6:00pm and Saturday from 11:00am-12:00pm!

Did I officially wake-up 26 pounds lighter today as part of my fitness plan? Yes! Did I still stop by the amazing Malley's Chocolates en route to CINEMA WASTELAND to get a giant "pretzelnormous" Pretzel Crunch Bar? Also yes! It's all about balance, friends...

My return to the road begins with an amazing double-header weekend! Tonight and Saturday I'm a guest (and "Legend" as per the promotional announcement) at MONROE COMIC CON, and then Sunday I'm part of the amazing line-up of authors at GATHERING VOLUMES! I look forward to seeing a lot of you soon!

This weekend my "Eight Shows, Four States, Three Months" fall signing tour begins with a double-header weekend: Friday and Saturday I'm a guest at The Monroe Comic Con, and then Sunday I'm heading a little further south to do a special book store signing at Gathering Volumes in Perrysburg, Ohio!

It's official: SOURCE POINT PRESS is partnering with @pranadms.bsky.social to bring our new upcoming line-up of graphic novels into the Direct Market starting later this year! Full details from Prana, @joshuafrantic.bsky.social, and me are now available here: mailchi.mp/pranadm/pran...

The Comic Watchers – Episode 277: Straight To The Source (Point Press) With @dirkmanning.bsky.social & #JoshWerner of @SourcePtPress comic-watch.com/news/intervi...

The always amazing COMIC WATCH chatted with me and Chief Creative Officer @joshuafrantic.bsky.social last night about the journey that led us to relaunching SOURCE POINT PRESS. We got very vulnerable, raw, and real about SPP's past and future. I hope you'll take the time to give it a watch.

ACHIEVEMENT UNLOCKED: Four-time @ringoawards.bsky.social Nominee! Much love and many thanks to the HOMESTEAD team and every one of you who supported this Native American/western werewolf graphic novel of ours! We all most sincerely appreciate it so very, very much!

Late last night I sent out my first Publishing Agreement for a new graphic novel with Source Point Press to the amazing @artronin9.bsky.social. It begins...

I read this novel for some sort of school book report in Jr. High, and I can 100% confirm that it is 100% wacky and "so bad it's good" fun...

This is also how I feel about streaming vs the magic of going to the vhs/dvd rental shops.

In case you missed the news, SOURCE POINT PRESS is now fully back, under new management, and looking forward by going back to our roots. Read (and listen) about it in this Exclusive Announcement with Comicon: comicon.com/2025/07/21/e...

Believe the hype: FANTASTIC FOUR is one of the best Marvel films to date. I'm blown away by how much I enjoyed it. 10/10, no notes, as it's dang near perfect. Go see it in 3-D if you can!

This weekend I'm making my debut at MOTOR CITY NIGHTMARES! It's been a bit since I've done a convention in Novi, Michigan, so I look forward to seeing a lot of old friends! C'mon out to treat yourself to some great horror swag including the debut of the LONDON AFTER MIDNIGHT graphic novel, too!

ACHIEVEMENT UNLOCKED: I'm proud and excited to announce that I'm now the Publisher at Source Point Press. We're looking towards the future by going back to our roots. Read about (and listen to) the details in this Comic Exclusive announcement here: comicon.com/2025/07/21/e...

This is a snapshot of what 21 years of selling your work at comic conventions looks like... and also a reminder that you don't need to keep more than a few lanyards in your possession, comic con friends. Seriously... purge them! You'll feel better!

Capital City Comic Con in Lansing, Michigan set-up this weekend! C'mon out and get some great (and spooky) summer graphic novel reading!

I'm part of TWO panels at CAPITAL CITY COMIC CON in Lansing, Michigan this weekend! Join us to talk about creating comics as well as the present and future of the comic industry for independent and small press creators!

I had a great interview about my career and upcoming guest appearance at CAPITAL CITY COMIC CON this weekend... and, yes, the Ed Gorey story is 100% legit. Check it out and c'mon out to Lansing, Michigan for the show this weekend if you can!

If you're current or even lapsed MCU fan, don't sleep on IRONHEART...

Thank you, Black Sabbath.

That moment you realize you're only six graphic novels away from filling a classic spinner rack with your own books...

Ummm... YES PLEASE!

If you're going to be on Facebook tomorrow at 9:30 PM EST, join me for this online viewing event as a special guest for a paranormal investigation at the Michigan Museum of Horror! www.facebook.com/share/19efx3...

I'm not one to chase awards, but if you feel our team on HOMESTEAD earned the opportunity to be nominated in this year's Ringo Awards we would all most sincerely appreciate you taking a minute or two to use this graphic as your guide to help us get on the ballot in these categories. Thanks all!

My June newsletter goes out at 12:45 PM EST today! If you're not on the list, sign-up at my website now! (My website, of course, is www.DirkManning.com)

I'm only one and a half chapters into this book (graciously sent to me by @joshmalerman.bsky.social -- thanks, dude!) and I can already tell this is going to not only be one I'll be rereading often, but that it's also going to be a game-changer for any creative who reads it! I'm smitten!

Did I make a day trip to Traverse City just for the @dirkmanning.bsky.social / @joshmalerman.bsky.social panel at Cherry Capital Comic Con? Maybe...

Happy World Goth Day to my fellow children of the night! You are seen, cherished, and never alone in the dark.
