3 Comics Out in 1 Day!

Forgive me if this seems braggy, but I can’t help it! For the first time in my 80 years on this earth, I have three comics featuring words co-written by me (with the Hall to my Oats, Adam P. Knave) coming out in one day. It’s nutty.

The final arc charges forward as Amelia tries something CRAZY. So crazy, it just might work. Probably. (Check out that glorious Nick Brokenshire cover! And this one also has a cool Amelia Cole pinup by none other than Eisner Award winning Bandette co-creator Colleen Coover!)

LASER JOAN and THE RAYGUNS part 1 (of 3) in DARK HORSE PRESENTS #19

Famous pop stars / secret secret agents! Sound familiar? Maybe, but the story’s never been told like this before! Adam, artist Robert Wilson IV, and I created these characters back in 2011, so it’s great to finally have them out there for readers to see — in all the awards winning Dark Horse Presents, no less!

BILL & TED’S MOST TRIUMPHANT RETURN trade collection

Adam and I contributed a backup story to the third issue of this most excellent follow-up to the Bill & Ted movies with artist Wook Jin Clark— and it’s included in this non-non-non heinous trade collection!

So, please, check out these comics and keep an eye out for new work on the horizon. Thanks so much!

Long Beach Comic Expo – Feb 20 & 21

That’s right! I’ll be a writer in artist alley at this year’s LONG BEACH COMIC EXPO on February 20th & 21st, selling and signing copies of all four IDW volumes of AMELIA COLE, THE BIGGER BANG issues 1 – 4 (plus the snazzy trade collection), and the Dark Horse NEVER ENDING trade paperback.
