THE RACK: Round One

SHE DIED IN TERREBONNE: Episode 27

Another interview with me, this time at Bostonist.

Some of the same territory is covered as in the Battlemouth interview, but Jim has known me for a few years and manages to get me to confess to that triple homicide in Duxbury, among other things.

(Please note that I do not actually confess to any crimes. Thank you.)

I was interviewed by Zak Kaveney on Battlemouth.

I didn’t vomit all over myself or embarrass anyone with stories about what happens at Agreeable Comics Summer Camp, so you can go read it here.

THE LONELIEST ASTRONAUTS: I only wanted something else to do but hang around.

Angst that we can all relate to.

Keith Giffen came up with the title and I do the rest in “Hairy Grrls!”

There’s two examples of me ruining perfectly fine Western comics in “Drums of Fear” and “Savage Steel.” The latter features a Viking if that’s your sort of thing.

The title kind of says it all: “Dirk Rocket And Rick Beardly In Manlust: An Outer Space Journey Beyond Your Wildest Imagination”

Finally, here’s a one-page trifle titled “flipper_boy_47.”

A YEAR OF GIVEAWAYS: Two Volumes of Marvel’s BLADE!

Let’s give it up for Jordan Shiveley, who won last week’s contest!  Jordan picked the Coatimundi, which is, let’s face it, a pretty darn cute mammal.

This week, I’m giving away something slightly stupid and gorgeous!  Marc Guggenheim’s run on Blade with Howard Chaykin is big, over-the-top, and a close-to-perfect example of comics about a half-vampire that kills other vampires with swords and guns and whatever else he’s got handy.   I’ve got the two trades collecting the entirety of the Guggenheim/Chaykin run: Undead Again and Sins of the Father and you can win them by naming your favorite vampire that is not Dracula in the comments to this post!

Just leave said comment before 12:01 AM on Saturday, May 1, 2010 to qualify and the winner will be chosen using Random.org’s random number generator. Previous entrants do, in fact qualify, because I’m such a nice fellow like that. Comments that don’t qualify (such as the person from the Harley Quinn contest a few weeks ago who just babbled about how great the Dodsons are without actually answering the very basic question provided) will be deleted.

Terms And Conditions:? Please note that because of shipping costs, this contest is for residents of the United States of America and Canada. You must leave your email address with your comment to qualify, as I’m not going to spend any time hunting down someone who didn’t want to be contacted about their amazing prize. One comment per person and yes, I will know if you cheat and will probably mock you in public.

Here’s a “Sketch” Ryan Kelly included when I ordered FUNRAMA #1

Looks like he’s sold out of Funrama #1 at the moment, but you could do much, much worse than spending $3 ($5 with shipping included) on this post-apocalyptic romp that is an unholy mashup between Tank Girl, and The Authority. Visit Kelly’s blog for more details.
