Johanna Draper Carlson has some nice things to say about the Free Comic Book Day issue of Love and Capes at Comics Worth Reading. Love and Capes (Maerkle Press) is my favorite superhero series. Since the issues are normally $4 (and worth it!), getting one for free is a great deal. How apropos that this [...]
I’ve added a new feature to my website, on that might strike you initially as strange or a nuisance: A Challenge Feature in the blog. Here’s what’s happening… I am getting a TON of spam on the comments section. So, in an effort to squelch it, I’ve added the Challenge Plug-in, so now you’ll be [...]
On Saturday May 5th, Thom Zahler Art Studios will team up with the Lake County Captains to bring Free Comic Book Day to the ballpark. Free Comic Book Day is a national outreach program that promotes the comic book art form by encouraging the public to stop by their local comic book specialty store and [...]
I’d hoped to have eight pages of issue five done this month. I’ll be lucky to have six. For some reason, they’re coming slowly. It’ll pick up, I know it will. It always does. And I know I’ll bring it in on deadline. But for now, it’s like pulling teeth. So, here’s a panel from [...]
I have to give a big shout-out to Comic Heaven in nearby Willoughby. They are graciously donating bags and boards for the Lake County Captains Free Comic Book Day promotion. So, if it rains (and please, God, let it not rain that day) the books will be safe. Also, the bags will allow me to [...]
I’ve had my Secret Meeting and it went well. Well enough that I can talk about it. I’ll hit you with an official press release in the next couple of days, but for you, the loyal readers of my blog, I can announce that I’ll be participating in a Free Comic Book Day promotion with [...]
After my brief sojourn to the city of Lost Wages, I came back and had to battle with the Dreaded Vacation Malaise. I just didn’t want to do anything, probably exacerbated by the sinus infection that I’m fighting. Thanks to my steely determination, and the medicinal magic of my doctor, I think I’m through the [...]
The first review for Love and Capes #4 has come in, from Tony Isabella on Tony’s Other Online Tips at Comic’s Buyer’s Guide. There was something about this fourth issue that made me a little nervous, and the glowing review from Tony has allayed my fears a little. In this FCBD issue, Zahler does everything [...]
It’s been a while since I posted any actual artwork, so here’s a heaping helping. I do covers for a company called HGR, which specializes in industrial surplus. I’m not exactly sure what that is, but if it means something to you, I’d certainly advocate you check them out. Anyway, they do two covers a [...]
In the wake of the recently announced Spider-Man musical, I’ve found out that the long-talked about Batman musical is a dead project. This was going to feature the music of Jim Steinman, and I am an unabashed Steinman geek. I never thought Batman should have a musical, but if he was going to have one, [...]
