Boston, Here I Come!

While much of the world is watching the Royal Wedding, I will be returning to my home state of Massachusetts to attend my first-ever Boston Comic Con! I am very excited for the show and meeting fans and fellow creators! As usual, I will have plenty of copies of the Tiki Zombie Special Edition and The Untold Origins of Invisible Scarlet O'Neil at my table in Artist Alley. I will also be recording segments for the ESO podcast.

And as a special treat, I'll be bringing posters of the four main characters of Tiki Zombie available for the first time ever!


The four individual 11" x 17" prints featuring artwork by Peter Cutler and colors by Kathryn Parker will be on sale for a mere $5 each. In addition to the single character posters, I'll also have a never-before-seen group shot of all four characters for the same low price. Buy all five posters for the discounted price of $20! Each sale also includes a free issue of the Tiki Zombie Special Edition signed by myself and artist Peter Cutler.

So come on by my table and say, "Howdy!" I look forward to meeting y'all and thank you so much for the support!

Elisabeth Sladen 1948 - 2011

It was quite a shock today to learn of the passing of actress Elisabeth Sladen at the all-too-young age of 63. Like many Doctor Who fanboys of the 70's and 80's, she caught my attention as journalist Sarah Jane Smith. I am not at all ashamed to admit that while I lusted after Louise Jameson as Leela, I fell in love with Sarah Jane. And when she appeared with the tenth Doctor in 2006, I fell in love with her all over again. I've heard many say that she was just as nice a person as her character and I regret that I was not able to thank her personally for the years of entertainment. To say she will be missed is a huge understatement. I'm very pleased that we will be recording a tribute to her on next week's ESO podcast. I am eager to watch her adventures again.

Kinda busy tonight, so not too many videos. I'm not sure how I missed Adam WarRock perform at Galactic Quest a couple of months ago. He's as talented a rapper as he is a comic fanboy.
I was skeptical about this prequel to Planet of the Apes, but this trailer has me curious...
Finally, a U.S. release for The Devil's Concubine! I have been looking forward to reading this book out of Denmark.
