I'll be doing an upcoming on camera interview with Penguin Random House all about my work: specific projects, the writing process, legacy, and more! Ask me a question (or two, or three) at the link below and yours might end up being in the video! sites.prh.com/authorquesti...
Nice weather in Toronto syncing up with a very nice day for me. I'll take all the corny symbolism I can get right now.
A rough week can be distinctly improved with freshly-baked chocolate chip cookies.
Man, it's a good thing these 3 completely different book clubs don't give their subjects a "passing glance or quick impression", because if so then I might not take them seriously...
A little puzzle was included that leads to a hidden website with a password needed to advance. No spoilers, so I covered parts of the letter for now. 🙂
Received a strange message in the mail- Looks like Deborah Ann Woll and the Dungeon Dudes have more mysteries for Tales From Woodcreek Season 2! www.kickstarter.com/projects/woo...
We managed to get the little guy free! His leg is shaky, but he climbed away into the neighbor's yard.
Yesterday's signing went really well! Mike Rooth rocked out some incredible sketch covers, Conan fans brought stacks of books to get signed, and local comic creators showed their wares to a bustling group of customers throughout the day.
Happening today! I'll be at DUNGEON COMICS as part of their Summer Comics Extravaganza in Oakville from 1-4pm. www.facebook.com/dungeoncomic...
Part of my job is to try and inject as much of the original elements from the pulp character into the comics while keeping movie fans and old school comic readers 'fed' with ingredients they recognize and appreciate.

An art student reached out with 3 questions about working in the industry. Normally I don't have time to answer these kinds of questionnaires, but I slipped back into teacher-mode and figured I might as well share them with everyone else.
We launched the Heroic Signatures-Titan CONAN THE BARBARIAN series 3 years ago at SDCC and each year is a reason to celebrate while we keep the momentum going. The flagship book is still roaring with issue #33 arriving at the show, plus Savage Sword of Conan, Solomon Kane, and more!
Stacy and I are visiting IRELAND for a few days in August and, while we're in Dublin, we'll be signing at Dublin City Comics on Wednesday, August 19th from 5-7pm! If you live in the Dublin area, hope to see you there!
Please do not send me your story ideas or scripts, especially when they involve commercial characters I already work on. Legally and creatively, I do not want them. I have teamed up with other writers in the past, but those collaborations were arranged by a publisher for specific projects.
Tonight at Chez Zub's: Teriyaki Ribs, Garlic Mashed Potatoes, and Corn on the Cob Happy Canada Day!
Afterlives of World Building: The Legacy of Robert E. Howard, Second Panel- www.youtube.com/watch?v=QMWy...
The Amazing Digital Circus is the most Gen-Z piece of media I have ever seen. I don't mean that as an insult. It's a genuinely insightful look at a specific cohort. Their fear of hopelessness and insignificance in a world that uses and abuses them while they try to figure themselves out.
Feel free to tell this guy he can't have earrings or a necklace... Count number of fucks he'd give before splitting open your skull.
From the 1930's through the 1950's, Conan looked more like a Grecian hero, but Frazetta's version set the mold going forward.
A few people seemed surprised that Conan had earrings in the new animated teaser image. He's had them ever since Frank Frazetta gave the character his iconic look in 1966.
Looks like Hungarian is our 12th language for Conan the Barbarian, a publisher called Fumax. Wonderful to see!
INVADER ZIM variant cover! When Zim ran on TV 25 years ago, I worked at an animation studio and wished I could work on something so fun and subversive. Unexpectedly, now I get my chance. A new Invader Zim comic launches later this year and we're having a blast. Traditional line art Digital colors
