Writer of Books and Comics
If you live in the New York City area, great news! Sean Von Gorman and I will be at Carmine St. Comics on Wednesday, April 30 from 5-8PM signing/selling copies of Pawn Shop.
The shop is at 34 Carmine St. in the West Village, so stop on by and say hello.
Way back during the Pawn Shop Kickstarter campaign, we revealed the Pawn Shop Script Book as a stretch reward. It’s a collection of all my hand-written notes, the original rough draft, and the final typed draft of the entire graphic novel. It’s meant to show off the process of making a comic from conception to final product. The reward has gone out to the Kickstarter backers, but I’ve just listed it in my store for anyone that missed out on the campaign.
It’s $5 for a 222-page PDF, and you can buy it here. Here’s a sample of what you’ll get:
The kind folks over at one of my favorite comic book sites, Talking Comics, have been kind enough to do a series of videos going in-depth behind the scenes of Pawn Shop as a sort of commentary track. In the first installment we talked about Chapters 1 and 2, where certain ideas and themes got their start, and why being an “aspiring” writer is BS.
You can check out the video here:
The next installment we’ll have Sean on as well to talk about the art side of things! And again, huge thanks to Bobby Shortle and the rest of the Talking Comics team for being such huge proponents of our little book. It means a lot to us.
Don’t forget you can get Pawn Shop on Comixology in installments or the full OGN at my store.
I’m pleased to announce that Pawn Shop is getting a digital release — starting today — courtesy of the fine folks at comiXology. We’ll be serializing the book into four installments — one issue per chapter — and releasing one issue a week at 99 cents each. That’s just $4 for the whole book digitally!
You can buy issue #1 here: http://cmxl.gy/OfvDDs
A huge thanks to John D. Roberts and Chip Mosher and the whole team over at comiXology for helping to make this happen. Here’s the full press release:
I’m very pleased to present a new short comic by myself, artist Panda Musk, and letterer Adam O. Pruett.
It’s called “Kindred” and you can read the whole thing for free on my Tumblr. Please share and leave feedback if you’re so inclined.
