Paul O'Connell has kickstarted a campaign for a retrospective collection of his comics. Paul's excellent work has been present in all "NBC" issues, therefore I can definitely recommend his book. It includes many collaborations with another NBC veteran, Lawrence Elwick.
Plus, one of the award is a digital copy of amazing "Charlie Parker Handyman" book! There's also some original Charlie art as well.
After fourth issue of Cindy and Biscuit Dan White got a bit quiet, but now he has returned. In style.
I'm not really sure about my choice of words for such vast yet delicate topic. I can say with no doubt that HOAX is a very special project. Special and personal for its creator Ravi Thornton.
You see, HOAX is both a graphic novel titled Hoax, Psychosis Blues and a "dark musical" titled Hoax, My Lonely Heart but the two don't mimic each other. The events of the graphic novel are set after the events of the musical. Both are based on a poem, titled the same, written by Ravi's younger brother Rob who have struggled for the much of his life with schizophrenia, until his tragic death in 2008.
When it comes to the book's art, there's plenty of familiar names in there: Hannah Berry, Karrie Fransman, Leonardo M. Giron, Julian Hanshaw, Rozi Hathaway, Rian Hughes, Ian Jones, Jade Moss, Mark Stafford and Bryan Talbot. I had a chance of reading the whole book and I can assure you that art is amazing. And so is the story. It makes you think and realize that despite hard times we live in we're indeed very lucky, and how hard it is for people affected with mental illnesses and their families.
You can order the book from this website. The print run is limited to 1000 copies and sales will support mental health charities. Hoax, My Lonely Heart is showing from 4th to 7th June 2014, at the Royal Exchange Theatre, Manchester, more information can be found here.
Amazing Nelson Evergreen has drawn the illustration for the front cover of 4.2.3 - a short comic story written by Ryan Colucci, drawn by Jann Gallino and colored by Anna Jarmolowska. The short comic is available online for free and I hope you will enjoy it.
4.2.3. is a prequel to the graphic novel R.E.M. on which I've worked as a co-editor and letterer with Ryan Colucci (writer) and Zsombor Huszka (art). It's a great story about a loss of somebody we loved, and things we're trying to do to fill the emptiness inside us. The book also explores sleep and possibilities of living without the neccesity of entering Sandman's domain every day.
If you're not intrigued yet, please tell me: which comic book has also a short movie as a prequel?
A new publisher has arisen. It's Borderline Press! The first book from the publisher is out just now: 566 frames by Dennis Wojda.
Here's a book I worked on as a co-editor and letterer. It's a graphic novel called R.E.M. Written by Ryan Colucci and drawn by Zsombor Huszka it's 176 pages of great content that made, and still makes, me proud. You can pre-order the book using Kickstarter campaign and get a lot of interesting bonus stuff along with the book, plus some rewards have already been unlocked! It's one time deal only!
You might think it's only for US folks since shipping/P&P rates have to be included - but wait! The campaign has special rewards and P&P rates for Europe. Please check it out or have a browse at the official website.
