Everybody go run to your local comic shop and pick up a copy of The Hunger #3 which just came out today from Speakeasy Comics. It contains a 5-page back-up story written by yours truly. It’s a horror story, not a Scar Tissue story, but go read it anyway.

ComiXpress now has some new Ronin Studios books available that feature stories written by the writer of Scar Tissue.
Hope: Volume 1
Proceeds from Hope go to aid the victims of the 2004 Tsunami
Give them a try!
Ronin Studios recently released Somnia: Daydreams & Nightscapes, a comic book anthology of short stories that deal with dreaming. I wrote the first story which was illustrated by the talented Bill Koeb.
It’s a great little book. Please give it a look.
In other news, Dave is making great progress on Scar Tissue #3 and I think you will all be amazed at how good it looks. I swear he gets better with every panel.
Also, Dave will be appearing at the Mid-Ohio Con in November. Come by the Ronin Studios table and say hi.
Check out the review of Scar Tissue #2 over at comiXtreme. They really seemed to like the issue a lot!
I did an interview with the cIndyCenter podcast! It’s a site designed to promote contemporary and independant arts. Chris Shields does some great interviews with modern fine artists as well as comic book creators. I like what he’s doing here, trying bring these two worlds together, so that the comic fans might broaden their horizons to include other art forms, and show the fine art comunity that comics are a valid artform as well.

Dave and I were interviewed by the popular Comic Geek Speak podcast about Scar Tissue and the small press scene. Dave has been a big fan of this show for some time–I’m just discovering it–and it is quite a thrill to be featured. It’s a big, juicy one hour interview that we think turned out really well. So go check it out and let us know what you think!
Comic Geek Speak is the site, and the direct link to the interview is here.
We’re back from Los Angeles and another successful Wizard World show.
Unfortunately, turnout was rather low this year. It probably didn’t help that the convention was scheduled on the same weekend as the LA Marathon, which left most of the downtown area closed off. Still, sales were pretty good, and we still had a great time.
We scored a corner booth and were parked across from Margot Kidder (Lois Lane) and Jack O’Halloran (Non from Superman II) and also across from the signing area, so at some point we were across from Ethan Van Sciver, Goeff Johns, Kevin Smith and Jason Mewes, and two of the Wayans brothers, Shawn and Marlon I think. So our placement was really great and we got some good traffic because of it.
Here’s Dave and me at the Ronin Studios booth:
I brought my ukulele and played it during the show. It brought a lot of traffic over to the booth and entertained tortured passersby. I was even asked by Margot Kidder to sing her a song, and I also got to play for Noel Neill (the original Lois Lane from the old ’50s TV show).
I ROCK!!!!
Even Dave took a turn:
Here we are working on layouts for Scar Tissue #4:
There were two Supermans (Supermen?) across from us a lot as well, one being a very well-proportioned fellow who really looked the part…
…but the other one was rather skinny and we were taking bets as to whether his “endowment” was authentic.
Dave also did a fair amount of sketching for fans…
