After a long time in the making, I'm excited that the graphic novel adaptation of George MacDonald's "Phantastes" is now available from Cave Pictures Publishing! I drew the cover and the second half of this 19th-century fantasy that was a big influence on Tolkien and C.S. Lewis. #phantastes #comics

My first con of 2026 will be my local show, C2E2, here in Chicago on March 27-29. I'll be at Artist Alley table Y-2 with original art, prints, and comics by me. I'll also be signing and doing sketches. If you'd like to pre-book a commission from me for this or any other con I'm at, please DM me.

Last week I had a great time talking about comics and my career with Jeroen van Trierum for popular Dutch podcast, Comic Talk NL! You can find it, episode 223, on many platforms, so I hope you'll track it down and give it a listen. #comics #podcast #andrewpepoy #netherlands

Thanks to Charles Pelto, Stefan Wood, and Nat Gertler for producing these fantastic collections of vintage newspaper comic strips! I need more reading time than I have! #scorchysmith #frankgodwin #newspapercomics #comics #comicstrip

Tonight's Bedtime Reading: "Lucky Luke: The Complete Collection" volume 1 by Morris. This volume contains the 3 earliest LL graphic novels from the late 1940's, plus a long historical introduction with many extras. I'm looking forward to seeing how this series started. #luckyluke #morris #comics

The last time I saw Thomas Dolby he was so good he left me in tears. And that was a short set. I'm excited to see him soon in a full concert! #thomasdolby #music #synthpop

Got tickets! We're going! The Human League are fantastic live! Looking forward to Alison Moyet and Marc Almond opening, too! #marcalmond #humanleague #yazoo #synthpop #music #alisonmoyet

Space is the place for fun when you reserve a copy of this comic, highlighted by a far-out new lead story! store.archiecomics.com/products/arc... @pepoy.bsky.social

The Holidays also brought me another great book, the first English-language edition of "Petra Chérie," by Attilio Micheluzzi. I've had this in Italian for decades and loved the art, but could never read it until now. Thanks, Santa (and #fantagraphics)! #attiliomicheluzzi #christmas #comics

Happy Holidays (or just a great day, if you prefer) to all! #happyholidays #merrychristmas #simoneandajax #andrewpepoy

Yes, Virginia (and Rhode Island), there is a Santa Claus! Christmas came early with the arrival today of the long-awaited Jim Aparo Artists Edition! Thanks for making this book happen, Scott Dunbier! #jimaparo #artistedition #comics

Late-night Christmas-tree decorating! #christmas #christmastree #cookiemonster

Tonight's Bedtime Reading: The Complete "Girl Comics," an Atlas Comics Library collection, edited by Dr. Michael J. Vassallo. I'm excited to start digging into this! Glancing through, I already found one unexpected treasure: a page from a previously unknown to me Dan DeCarlo-drawn romance story!

Tonight's Bedtime Reading: "How to Marry a Murderer," the third Paige Turner mystery, by Amanda Matetsky. I loved the first two books in this series so much that I contacted Amanda about to working together about 20 years ago. We cooked up some good ideas but couldn't get any publishers interested.

Mooch Monday! #mooch #cat #cats #monday

My latest Archie cover, "Archie & Friends: Space Adventures" #1! Coming out in April. It harkens back to the first cover I ever drew for Archie. Jason Millet on colors. I love drawing the gang, but especially with a retro space theme like this! #archiecomics #bettyandveronica #andrewpepoy #comics

Recent Bedtime Reading: The Complete Flyin' Jenny by Russell Keaton (with Gladys Parker & Marc Swayze)! I've loved Flyin' Jenny for decades (even own a Sunday original by Keaton), and Keaton is one of my big artistic influences. I'm so excited to have this to finally be able to read the whole thing.

Mooch is pretending she's a bookend as she keeps me company while I work on Simone & Ajax. #andrewpepoy #mooch #comics #cat #cats

Just because....

Friday night! I still need to hang art on the walls, but comics are being made in the new studio. #andrewpepoy #makingcomics #studio #comics

Last night I got to see one of my favorite, new Chicago bands, Madame Reaper, live for the first time, after listening to their music online for a while. And they didn't disappoint! Fantastic show! My video doesn't really capture how good they sounded, but it will give you a taste. #music #synthpop

Listening to Soft Cell as I draw today in tribute to half the duo, Dave Ball, who passed away this week. There was a lot more to them than just "Tainted Love," and their music was very influential on young me. "Where Was Your Heart When You Needed It Most?" is my favorite. youtu.be/pHnMh_jBweM?...

It's the final day of Baltimore Comic-Con, but yesterday ended, like last Saturday in New York, with dinner with the legendary Larry Welz, creator of "Cherry Poptart," along with Sharon Welz and, this time, Jenesta Elizabeth. Come see us all today until 5pm. I'm at bóoth 2011. #cherry #comics

Baltimore Comic-Con bound! See you there this weekend at booth 2011! #baltimorecomiccon #bcc #bcc2025 #baltimore #andrewpepoy #comics

What do I listen to while drawing comics? Lots of different things, but one thing I always listen to is a new song by Men Without Hats! 40+ years since "Safety Dance," they're even better and making music that has its roots in classic MWH but sounds new and modern. www.youtube.com/watch?v=V6wL...

Two days from now, October 17-19, I'll be at one of my favorite cons, the Baltimore Comic-Con! Booth 2011. I'll have art, prints, and comics by me, plus I'll be signing and sketching. Want a commission? Please let me know. I'll also be on the Crowdfunding panel at 2pm on Friday in room 343-344.

"God, I love comics." Words written by Chris Mills just two days before we lost him yesterday and, with him, lost one of comics' greatest champions and most-underrated writers/creators. Here are covers I did for comics he planned but never got to complete. I'll read some old comics in your honor.

With the help of Dazzler, we say goodbye to New York Comic-Con. It was so good to see so many friends, fans, and fellow comics creators! Thanks to the crew behind the scenes for making it go smoothly. Hopefully I'll be back next year! Up next (in just 5 days!😳): Baltimore Comic-Con at booth 2011!

Only a few hours left of New York Comic-Con, and I (along with some help from Barbara Eden of "I Dream of Jeannie") am still here drawing at Artist Alley table A-06. C'mon by for comics and art until 5pm. #newyorkcomiccon #newyork #nycc2025 #nycc #barbaraeden #idreamofjeannie #andrewpepoy #comics

Tonight's Bedtime Reading: "Thrilling Adventures" from April 1936, a pulp magazine full of (potentially) Indiana Jones-type tales and other kinds of action fiction. #pulp #pulpfiction

I love it when my two biggest passions, comics and music, mix! Captain Sensible is a fan of British girls comics, and I just learned that Misty, a short-lived gothic horror series, was one of his favorites, so I was excited to surprise him with a Misty collection. #comics #captainsensible #thedamned

Last night after seeing The Damned live here in Chicago, I hung out with Captain Sensible. It was an honor to draw a comic book that comes with the recent vinyl re-release of his solo album, "The Universe of Geoffrey Brown." #captainsensible #thedamned #andrewpepoy #punk #music #comics

A snippet of another cover I just finished drawing. Yesterday it was space stuff; Today it's stockings stuff! #makingcomics #brushinking #stockings #shoes #legs #originalcomicart #andrewpepoy #comics

Space stuff! Detail from an upcoming cover I drew. #brushinking #comicsart #space #outerspace #crater #andrewpepoy #originalart #originalcomicart #comics
