I’m throwing Jack Cole into the mix with my comic JOE UNKNOWN, with a limited pack of holofoil cards. Get ‘em on their own, but they’d go especially great with the comic about old school horror comic books. Find it at thedrawnword .com, or link in comments below.
My pal Nick Justus and I are gonna have a helluva good time once JOE UNKNOWN—the comic about what happens when the stories end—funds. We’re so close. Please spread the word, pitch in, and help me get my blood pressure down. Find it at thedrawnword dot com.
JOE UNKNOWN is what happens when horror comics hosts think about death, and is the comic book I need to make before I die. However, I also need to get word out. Can anyone recommend or connect me with any great podcasts? The launch is in August.
The cover to my upcoming @kickstarter.com , JOE UNKNOWN with Kubert School alum (and old pal) Nick Justus, is here! Cover concocted and drawn by the inimitable @robbirodriguez.bsky.social .
My latest horror comics trading card set is FUNDED! Now to hit the stretch goal with scans of vintage original art on the front: www.kickstarter.com/projects/dra...
Got the final push for the Denis Kitchen Creatures trading card and riso campaign on @kickstarter.com . We need to fund by 7 Eastern Thursday night, and any and every push out there (as well as pledge!) is appreciated! www.kickstarter.com/projects/dra...
Coming soon to @kickstarter.com , after we wrap the Denis Kitchen Creatures campaign. www.kickstarter.com/projects/dra...
I decided to do another pack of Horror Comic trading cards, and @comicsinthega.bsky.social sent me down a long path that took an entire day to design...
Only SIX days left to fund the Creatures Out of the Subconscious @kickstarter.com with Denis Kitchen. You don’t want to miss out on these surreal weirdos! www.kickstarter.com/projects/dra...
Hey, all! The Creature risograph and trading cards from Denis Kitchen and with @jtyost.bsky.social has a week left. This is a set I’ve been dying to do, with one of my favorite folks in comics, and I’d appreciate any shares or pledges on @kickstarter.com .
PLEASE SHARE: I have a @kickstarter.com with @jtyost.bsky.social on Risographs (signed and numbered—by Denis Kitchen) and 36 trading cards of Denis’s surreal Creatures. Just a week left and a tiny bit to go. www.kickstarter.com/projects/dra...
One of the weird lovelies outta the head of Denis Kitchen. www.kickstarter.com/projects/dra...
VERY close to halfway funded on the Denis Kitchen Creatures Out of the Subconscious @kickstarter.com ! Along with cards, we also have lovelies like Prof. Noodlebeard as stickers! www.kickstarter.com/projects/dra...
Coming soon to @kickstarter.com : Creatures out of the Subconscious by comix legend Denis Kitchen! My 8yo thinks it’s funny one of the monsters is drawn with his “stuff” hanging out, and I’m like “Kid, underground comix can go there!" www.kickstarter.com/projects/dra...
www.google.com/url?sa=t&sou... Someone in marketing wasn’t paying attention.
Coming soon to @kickstarter.com : I’m in the stratosphere over getting to create a campaign with #DenisKitchen!
I mean, who DOESN’T need an @allredmd.bsky.social Madman Secret Decoder and a ton of swag? www.kickstarter.com/projects/dra...
The @allredmd.bsky.social Madman Code-X Secret Decoder is still killing it on @kickstarter.com , but I would love to see a nice bump in the next day or two. Check it out, and share with any friends into cool swag and @jtyost.bsky.social ’s risographs! www.kickstarter.com/projects/dra...
51 backers are in on the campaign before it launches. Won’t you join them? Also, just got some sweet risograph preview images from @jtyost.bsky.social ! @allredmd.bsky.social
What’s an exciting Saturday, trying to avoid the horrible news: Reading a 104 year-old indictment.
STOKED for the Madman Rockin' Risograph with @allredmd.bsky.social & @jtyost.bsky.social on @kickstarter.com . It ALREADY funded in under an hour! www.kickstarter.com/projects/dra... @pattonoswalt.bsky.social : Would you mind helping boost our signal? Pretty please?
"The Halo" from a really bizarre story in Blue Beetle #24 (Holyoke, 1943), complete with Eisner Spirit swipe and a radio style host.
HELL, YEAH! Her AND Fred Williamson are going to be at Nightmare Weekend in Richmond Oct. 17-19. I'm even gonna have to get a couple autographs between moderating.
Hopefully it's because neither of them have much time left. And I think the picture you're looking for is:
My kid's COVID Halloween (he was three) looked like it was directed by Taika Waititi: We had a candy hunt and he wore a hastily made robot costume. But there was a Skeletor figure to be had.
Fox was "financially embarassed", per the WPA documents. This opening salvo in the case against Holyoke wasn't in the MD NARA files, and this is the missing piece.
Just got this court document from when the Comics Production Board took Holyoke Publishing to court. It has a fantastic summary of H's arrangement with Fox and Temerson.
