Holy crap. Putting together a Kickstarter is a TON of work, but this thing is slowing coming together to launch next month. The GHOSTBRAWLER Black & Blue "Bruiser Edition," from the creators of CHEW (me and Rob Guillory.) About an ex-boxer who goes to haunted houses and beats the fuck out of ghosts.

Elsie and the cats must pull off a JAILBREAK from the CDC! But it’s way harder than they thought. And do they even want to escape if there’s a human SERIAL KILLER roaming the halls? Pre-order FERAL #23 by Tony Fleecs & TrishForstner https://imagecomics.com/comics/releases/feral-23

Something Urasawa teaches that I have to remind myself of, despite doing this for years, is that some panels have to be bunts. A "boring" panel can spotlight dialogue, or set up a coming dramatic turn, or simply let the reader rest. Be judicious. The story has to be very compelling for this to fly.

Still thinking about this note I found in the children’s section of the public library when I worked there back in 2018. This kid tried to warn us…

Comic lettering 101...

Blinding!

I've just finished writing drawing and lettering a 200 PAGE BOOK for people who love the original LILO & STITCH as much as I do. Please Get it!

Feral 21, the Silent Intelude, currently has the comic book WOW moment to beat this week! I don't want to say anything at all to preserve this. If you read Feral get yours immediately. If you read by graphic novel, this starts a new story so you can be a part of the series, & letter page, monthly.

Sam Kieth did not bend for comics. Comics bent to him. I won't call his manner of drawing merely a style because that implies some level of artifice. Maybe not since Kirby had mainstream comics seen an artist with less filter between his imagination and the printed page.

So long, Sam.

Happy Valentine's Day

Romero Muerte! This comic was only out as a print only backup in issues of CRONE from Dark Horse. We got dangerously close to this becoming a tv show in Mexico during lockdown. Ramon and I were on the verge of becoming (more) insufferable.

Here's my variant cover for Superman/Spider-Man #1 without the text, featuring the vehicle that climbs walls and the other one that punches. Because I knew what to do with my one chance to draw Spider-Man.

If anyone in Los Angeles has 1964 or earlier Marvel Comics, particularly anything Kirby, and they’d be willing to loan them to me this weekend, please let me know. It’s for a small film I’m directing. Reader copies. Nothing slabbed. Thanks!

Found some xeroxes of a story I drew & lettered a million years ago. Script by @ericshanower.bsky.social from a story by Ruth Plumly Thompson. Back then I was always looking for an excuse to draw like my favorite pen & ink illustrators from the golden age of book & magazine illustration. (Cont)

Really love this one

The latest episode of Off Panel is a very good time, as @tonyfleecs.bsky.social joins me to talk: the 1990s in comics! Gen13! Having comics that speak to your age! Running a creator-owned business! How the market affects his approach! A whole lot more! This is a good one, so listen up!

This needs to be collected. Ideally in a Deluxe Edition. Those are Wrightson covers, too.

Always read contracts you're sent to sign, even if you're told it's "boilerplate". Understand what you're agreeing to and don't be afraid to ask questions or request adjustments. When you're starting out you may not have much room to negotiate, but at least you can go into it with your eyes open.

This Alex Raymond panel is like a whole library of cool graphic choices
