80% and Counting

Sean and I would like to offer a very sincere thank you to everyone that’s pledged and shared the PAWN SHOP Kickstarter campaign thus far. We’re happy to say that in just nearly 8 days, we’re 80% funded with under $1500 left to go. We’ll be announcing some new reward tiers soon, along with stretch goals should we reach our funding early.

We hope that you’ll continue to spread the word to any comic book or New York City fans that you might know and help us bring Pawn Shop to the masses.

Some More Footprints For You

No, there’s no new Footprints stories on the way, but Jonathan did post this amazingly awesome new painting of that hard-boiled old bastard Bigfoot:

Pawn Shop: Love and Life in NYC

I teased this cover a while back, but now it’s official: artist Sean Von Gorman and I have launched our Kickstarter campaign for our new original graphic novel, Pawn Shop. This is the most personal project I’ve ever written, and I can’t wait to show it off to the world.

We’re aiming for $7K to print and distribute the book, and we hope you’ll like what you see and help make this a reality.

Check out our campaign here, and please — spread the word anywhere and everywhere you can. If you’d like to do any press on the campaign, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.

Footprints Script/Final Art Comparison – Part 3

There seems to be a running trend of my intentions to be regular with this process column and then falling behind. But hey, life. I’m also writing this while couch-ridden and doped up after my back acted up, so please forgive any typos. My plan was to do nothing this weekend and rest, but I feel funny not doing something. So here we are. If you haven’t a clue what it is I’m doing here, check out the other installments:

Part 2

Part 4

Again, keep in mind that due to WordPress formatting limitations, the script format here isn’t exactly how my actual scripts look, but there’s no hard-and-fast comics format anyway, so as long as you get your ideas across competently and clearly in a way that works for the artist, I think you’ll be okay. Here we go, Page 3:

Kind Words About Our Grim Leaper Back-Up

Great news, everyone! Grim Leaper #1, home to the Jack Kirby/Joe Simon homage short story that I did with Jeff McComsey, has sold out and is heading back to press for a second printing. Huge congrats to Kurtis and Aluisio, and an even bigger thanks for letting us be a part of it. The second printing will be on sale June 27, the same date as GL #2, which has a back-up from Ryan K. Lindsay. Here’s the second printing’s cover:

We’ve gotten a lot of feedback about the short, which I was surprised by, so thanks to everyone that picked it up and talked it up. It’s also available on Comixology, so check it out if you haven’t!

Here are some of the nice reviews we got mentioned in:
