Free Comic Book Day 2011!

I am still in Boston, but I will be back in the ATL in time for the 10th annual Free Comic Book Day!

Artist Peter Cutler and I will be at Galactic Quest in Lawrenceville signing FREE copies of the Tiki Zombie preview special! Actor Chandler Riggs from AMC's The Walking Dead will be appearing as well. Should be a GREAT day! Come by and say, "Howdy!"

And not all the cool freebies are in stores. Once again, the folks at Hogan's Alley are giving sending free copies - all you have to do is ask!

Send us an e-mail (hoganmag@gmail.com) ON FCBD with your mailing address, and we’ll send you a FREE issue of Hogan’s Alley! No obligations, no strings attached; the only thing it will cost you is several hours as you enjoy the issue. (This offer is valid for all U.S. residents, whether you’re a current subscriber or not.) Remember the one condition—we must receive your e-mail request on Free Comic Book Day (May 7), not the day before or the day after. (Before and after that date, any requests for freebies will receive only scorn and derision.) Don’t forget to follow Hogan’s Alley on Twitter (@HoganMag) to get other notifications and cartooning news and observations!

A great deal on a great magazine!

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!
