Don King: American Hero
Saturday, April 4th, 2009Jon Vermilyea Store Open!
Friday, April 3rd, 2009Alright…this is exciting.
I just went to Jon Vermilyea’s site and he has updated it with a brand new store that has about six or so incredible prints for sale. His Johnny Quasar stuff is definitely my favorite. Why haven’t vinyl figures been made of this stuff? I’m totally grabbing the MUDMAN print. He also has prints of the Mothman that he did for Fantagraphics’ BEASTS! BOOK 2 for sale.
I may have mentioned this in an earlier post or Twitter message or something, but Jon sent me early 2009 Fantastic Fest poster art yesterday. This poster is going to RAGE! Monsters gone wild!

Speaking of Fantastic Fest, I got an email from Jon Vermilyea today with a sketch of the 2009 poster and it is looking crazy! It’ll be out of control in 3D.

Come and get it! New posters!
Wednesday, April 1st, 2009Do you like Mel Brooks? If that answer is yes, take a look at the items below and get your credit card info ready!
Bobby Dixon just created the perfect Texas BBQ Run poster, which also happens to be the perfect BLAZING SADDLES poster. 20″ x 26″ screenprint, printed at D&L.
Alan Hynes captured the spirit of Young Frankenstein perfectly with this one. 18″ x 23″ screenprint with glow in the dark ink. Printed at Seattle’s D&L Screenprinting.
And this is the blue variant.
While you’re in a poster mood, let me remind you that we still have Lamour Supreme Datapop posters available and also the new Mark Todd print set. Lot of good stuff coming out lately.

New Comic Day: Zero Tolerance!
Wednesday, April 1st, 2009Wednesday means New Comic Day! War of Kings is smoking right now, Agents of Atlas is great, a new Franklin Richards comic is dropping (really…it’s good) and we finally get FLASH: REBIRTH! It’s a good day. I pose an interesting question though…could today have been better?
This weekend I went looking around at second hand bookstores, not really having my mind set on any one thing. I came across a book I remembered I’d been wanting for a while now… HOW TO DRAW COMICS THE MARVEL WAY.
I was pretty excited to find it for super cheap, but what really blew me away inside wasn’t Stan Lee’s witty alliteration or even John Buscema’s beautiful artwork. It was the folded piece of paper inside that was the best thing about this purchase. Ladies and Gentlemen, may I present to you, a character more hellish than Spawn, more disproportionate than Savage Dragon, the crown jewel of the 90′s that never was…ZERO TOLERANCE!
I won’t lie…I probably would’ve given this comic three issues when I was in 7th grade.
