OT: Dr. Who book published by local comics scholar

When I saw former Geppi's Entertainment Museum curator Arnold Blumberg last night, he told me that in addition to teaching courses on comics and popular culture at the University of Maryland, he's formed his own publishing house. Here's a press release on his company's first book.


RELEASE: 8/17/12

ATB Publishing is proud to announce its first publication:

OUTSIDE IN:

160 New Perspectives on

160 Classic Doctor Who Stories by 160 Writers

edited by Robert Smith?

There are many books and websites that review all these Doctor Who stories – tales that fans know very well – but editor Robert Smith? (Who is the Doctor; Time, Unincorporated 2-3; Braaaiiinnnsss: From Academics to Zombies) set out to create an unprecedented archive of opinion from throughout the professional and fan communities, just in time for the 50th anniversary of the greatest television show in history! The results are inventive, provocative, and always surprising. Smith? himself says:

"It's the biggest, wildest idea I ever had: as many reviews are there are classic series stories. That alone was a huge undertaking. But what really makes this shine is that I put in an additional requirement: say something different. In short, these aren't your father's reviews. What I wanted for OUTSIDE IN was takes on the classic series that make you go, 'Wow, I never thought of that.' Fortunately, that struck a chord with everyone and I mostly got to sit back and watch everybody bring their A-game to the table.

Some reviews are thoughtful, some are funny, and some are utterly gonzo. I've had mock-angry letters to the BBC, transcripts of council meetings, even a recipe. There are flow charts, maps, TV scripts, timelines, Shakespearean plays... and, of course, intensely passionate and vocal opinions about the entirety of Doctor Who. You may not agree with everything that's said in this book – indeed, I hope you don't! – but the end result is something intensely personal that every Doctor Who fan will find resonates with them in some way.

The watchword of the project is diversity. That's one of the great strengths of fandom: put ten fans in a room and you'll wind up with eleven opinions. And isn't that the great thing about Doctor Who? It's like the weather: endlessly discussable and if you don't like what's happening right now, there'll be something else along shortly. OUTSIDE IN captures that essence, both in terms of the show itself and also its many-splendoured fandom."

OUTSIDE IN debuts on November 23, 2012 with a launch at Chicago TARDIS 2012 (www.chicagotardis.com). 5% of the full retail price of all sales of the book will be donated to Avert, a UK-based HIV/AIDS charity (www.avert.org).

Cover Price: $24.95 (p/b)
Release Date: November 23, 2012
ISBN: 978-0-9882210-0-0
432 pages, 6" x 9"

OT: Matt Wagner and the Shadow

I'm posting this article because Matt's experiences eerily parallel mine - the 1970's DC Comic, buying back issues (Archie's abysmal Radio Comics series in my case), the LP records (bought at a used book/record store in Bergenfield, NJ), the Steranko-covered Pyramid novels (bought at the Garden State Plaza before its steroidal growth)....

Straight from the Source: Matt Wagner Casts Light on The Shadow: Year One
PREVIEWSworld January 2013
http://www.previewsworld.com/Home/1/1/71/977?articleID=130678

Unlike Matt, I didn't become a comic book creator though. And he's absolutely spot-on when he says "The process of collecting comics used to involve a certain sense of mystery that's missing from today's fandom, where a quick internet search can hook you up with pretty much anything your budget can afford."  Late last year I decided to read the 1960s Belmont novels which set the Shadow in then-present day. After 30 years of looking for them and finding 3 or 4 in used bookstores, I completed my set in a few minutes on the internet.

Jan 26: DENNIS HOPELESS and MIKE NORTON at Third Eye Comics

THIS SATURDAY 1/26/13
  SIGNING FROM 11AM to 1PM

First 20 in Line Receive a Very Special Free Gift of either:
A REVIVAL #1 Third Eye variant ($80 dollar value!)
or
A REVIVAL #6 PHANTOM Variant
Your Choice!
  


Hello Third Eye Faithful!

We've got a BIG signing for you this Saturday, featuring not just one major guest, but TWO major guests! 

We're hosting the official ANSWER #1 launch party of creators DENNIS HOPELESS and MIKE NORTON's brand new creator-owned DARK HORSE COMICS series.

Why're we so pumped about this one? Well, it features two major guests who've worked on some big-time Third Eye Favorite titles.

Dennis wowed us last year with his creator-owned graphic novel LOVESTRUCK, and is currently impressing the heck out of us with his MARVEL NOW titles AVENGERS ARENA and CABLE AND THE X-FORCE.

Mike has also been keeping us hooked with his smash hit IMAGE series REVIVAL, and blew us away with his work on this past Wednesday's YOUNG AVENGERS.

As our last big signing of the winter season, we're hoping to make this one a great time, Third Eye Faithful. 

We've got a TON of great events booked for Spring, so trust us; there's more on the way after this. 

We've got two very special FREE gifts we're giving away to the first 20 folks in line; your choice of either a REVIVAL #1 Third Eye variant, which we thought had sold out ages ago, but unboxed a stash of recently, or the brand new REVIVAL #6 PHANTOM variant.

So, folks, we'd be honored to have you join us for this event, and help us show Mike and Dennis why Third Eye has some of the BEST signings in the country.
What is THE ANSWER?

A must-read for fans of series like HELLBOY, LOBSTER JOHNSON, MADMAN, and more, THE ANSWER is a fantastic new pulp hero book from DARK HORSE COMICS that really brings a modern edge to the superhero genre. 
 
Written by AVENGERS ARENA and CABLE AND X-FORCE writer DENNIS HOPELESS, and illustrated by REVIVAL artist MIKE NORTON, the ANSWER features a woman named Devin McKenzie, who happens to be an insomniac librarian with a knack for solving puzzles. 
 
And, The Answer!, is a masked crime fighter with a giant exclamation point on his face. Aside from a penchant for late nights, they share nothing in common... until both become embroiled in a deadly mystery surrounding a sinister motivational speaker.
 
Quirky, compelling, and well-done, this is exactly how you'd envision a creator-owned superhero book from the artist who's brought us the twisted crime/horror hybrid REVIVAL.
 
Make sure you snag yourself a copy tomorrow, and get it signed by Dennis and Mike!
 
ALSO from DENNIS HOPELESS
AVENGERS ARENA   
One of the many reasons why we're totally pumped about this in-store event is the fact that we've been totally loving Dennis's work on the controversial new MARVEL NOW series AVENGERS ARENA. 
 
This series has really turned into a hit for Marvel, starting out as a cult favorite with a neat concept, and picking up steam into a truly unique, and cutting-edge take on the young heroes of the Marvel Universe.
 
What's the hook on this? Imagine BATTLE ROYALE or THE HUNGER GAMES, but set in the MARVEL UNIVERSE, with the kids of AVENGERS ACADEMY and THE RUNAWAYS being dropped on booby-trapped island by the murderous ARCADE. 
 
Now, to survive, they must KILL EACH OTHER. 
 
And, folks, we're not kidding, we've already seen character deaths galore, and it's only been three issues! 
 
This is a must-read, and we're totally stoked to have the opportunity to have Dennis in store to sign copies of issues 1-3.
 
Wanna get caught up? We've got AVENGERS ARENA #1-3 in stock now, and available at the signing to get you up to speed.
 

ALSO BY MIKE NORTON: REVIVAL TPB VOL.1 YOU'RE AMONG FRIENDS
      
REVIVAL is one of our big store favorites here, Third Eye Faithful, and we're totally pumped to have artist MIKE NORTON in store to sign copies of both the single issues of REVIVAL, and the trade paperback, collecting issues 1-5.

This incredible new IMAGE series came out of nowhere during the Summer of 2012, and totally took everyone by surprise, and now ranks as one of IMAGE's biggest hits of 2012.

What's it all about? For one day in rural central Wisconsin, the dead came back to life. Now it's up to Officer Dana Cypress to deal with the media scrutiny, religious zealots, and government quarantine that has come with them. 

In a town where the living have to learn to deal with those who are supposed to be dead, Officer Cypress must solve a brutal murder, and everyone, alive or undead, is a suspect. 

Folks: this is a smart book. Imagine FARGO meets PARANORMAL ACTIVITY, it's an eerie, crime story with a fascinating look at the living dead that's never been before seen. 

It's a great follow-up for those of you who're waiting on the next volume of WALKING DEAD, or if you just enjoy great comics, like Image's own SAGA, this is for you. 

Mike's art on the series is killer, and really brings the story to life in a major way, that helps capture the isolation, and everyday creepiness of the small Wisconsin town it's set in. 

Don't miss this great opportunity to get your copy of REVIVAL signed by the artist and co-creat of the series!

ALSO BY DENNIS HOPELESS: CABLE AND X-FORCE
 
Not only is Dennis totally killing it for Marvel with their incredible AVENGERS ARENA series, but he's also kicking all kinds of ass on the nostalgia-heavy CABLE AND THE X-FORCE, which is the raddest take we've seen on CABLE in quite some time.

In Dennis Hopeless's CABLE AND X-FORCE, Cable has returned, and he's got a new X-Force at his side to tackle the threats that nobody else can know about. 

Who are Cable's new recruits? Domino. Forge. Dr. Nemesis. Colossus. I mean, this is a freakin' dream team for anyone who came up with X-Men comics in the '90s, right? 

And, why are the new recruits of X-Force seen as public enemy number one? Caught red-handed at the scene of a terrorist attack on a major American corporation whose CEO expressed anti-mutant views, the X-Force is on the run, with none other than the Uncanny Avengers in hot pursuit. 

This book is killer; it's got a great flow to it, and it recaptures everything you loved about the original X-Force way back in the day. 

Plus: Salvador Larocca's artwork looks INCREDIBLE, and adds a great kinetic visual to the solid storytelling that Dennis lays out here.

Dennis will be signing copies of CABLE AND X-FORCE tomorrow at Third Eye, and we've got plenty of issues 1-3 in stock and available now to get you all caught up. 

ALSO BY MIKE NORTON: YOUNG AVENGERS 
Not only does Mike have a huge book dropping this week with THE ANSWER, but he's also kicking off the brand new MARVEL NOW launch of THE YOUNG AVENGERS this week, and we couldn't be more pumped.

Written by Third Eye favorite, JOURNEY INTO MYSTERY's KIERON GILLEN, the YOUNG AVENGERS is the kind of innovative, fresh MARVEL book that we think really demonstrates how killer their new MARVEL NOW direction is. It's the kind of book that you need to be reading if you're a major fan of series like SAGA, MORNING GLORIES, or Brian K. Vaughan's RUNAWAYS. 

In YOUNG AVENGERS, legacy isn't a dirty word -- just an irrelevant one. It's not important what their parents did, it matters what THEY do. Someone has to save the world; they're someone. Do the math. 

The critically acclaimed writing of KIERON GILLEN, who turned JOURNEY INTO MYSTERY into a major cult favorite featuring the exploits of KID LOKI, has reinvented the teen superhero comic for the 21st century, uniting Wiccan, Hulkling, and Hawkeye with Kid Loki, Marvel Boy, and Ms. America.

No pressure. Young Avengers is a NOW! as the air in your lungs, and twice as vital. It's the book that serves up the hype, and then lives up to it tenfold. 

Folks, this is a killer book, and is definitely on it's way to being the next big sleeper hit of the MARVEL U. You know you jumped onto Hawkeye and Daredevil late, don't make the mistake here. We're telling you right now: this is going to be one of the best new books of 2013. 

Mike handles art chores on YOUNG AVENGERS, and will be in-store this Saturday signing copies of the book. We'll have plenty of copies in stock, and available to get you hooked up. 

ALSO BY DENNIS HOPELESS: LOVESTRUCK

We're huge fans of LOVESTRUCK, and consider it to be one of the raddest little books IMAGE has put out in the last few years. Admittedly, we have a soft spot for the book, as the release party for this last year with Dennis Hopeless and Kevin Mellon was one of our favorite in-store events. 

But, seriously, if you've yet to give LOVESTRUCK a shot, folks, then definitely do yourselves a favor and check it out this weekend, so you can get Dennis to sign you a copy. 

In LOVESTRUCK, there's no boy meets girl or star-crossed soulmates. Love is a billion-dollar industry. Cupid's the megalomaniac CEO. And Kali Monroe gets paid to break your heart. Love is all around us. And, these, Third Eye Faithful, are the jerks who control it. 

LOVESTRUCK's a blast, folks. I mean, if you took Bill Willingham's FABLES, and ran it through CBGB's and Max's Kansas City circa the '70s, you'd get LOVESTRUCK. 

A world where the Ramones are seen as spiritual figures; where old gods don't die, they just grow more and more jaded; and the lost mortals are caught in their crossfire.

We'll have plenty of copies available tomorrow, and Dennis will be happy to sign one for you.

BE ONE OF THE FIRST 20 IN LINE WHEN DOORS OPEN AND RECEIVE A FREE REVIVAL #1 THIRD EYE variant or REVIVAL #6 PHANTOM VARIANT (Your Choice!)

Folks, our REVIVAL #1 variant that came out last July quickly turned into one of the most sought after editions of this red-hot IMAGE series. We sold out QUICK on this one, and the limited print run of only 1,000 was thought to be gone for good.

And, then, just in time for our signing this Saturday, while organizing our warehouse, we stumbled upon a convention box with a handful of copies of what may be our rarest Third Eye exclusive. 

We figured there's only one thing we could do with these: give them to you. :)

The book routinely goes for up to $80, and is continuing to climb, but if you're one of the first 20 people in line tomorrow morning, you can get a copy totally free.

Already got a REVIVAL #1 Third Eye variant? That's OK, 'cause we've got 20 copies of the elusive new REVIVAL #6 Phantom variant available to hook you up, in case you don't want the REVIVAL #1 Third Eye variant.

Click here for the FACEBOOK event info.

SCORE THE BRAND NEW REVIVAL #1 & REVIVAL #6 PHANTOM VARIANTS TOMORROW!

On hand for tomorrow's signing, we'll have a VERY limited quantity of the brand new limited edition PHANTOM VARIANTS of REVIVAL #1 and #6. 

The PHANTOM VARIANTS are only available to 20 comic book stores worldwide, and are very sought after. We'll have copies of both available for sale at the signing tomorrow, so you can snag one or two to get signed by series artist MIKE NORTON. 

There are plans to do a PHANTOM variant on future issues of REVIVAL, as well as re-issues of 2-5, which will assemble together to make one large picture of the cast.

All right, Third Eye Faithful, lets send off the last signing of the Winter right, and bring a big turnout for this one. We've got two incredibly talented creators who're flying in from St. Louis and Chicago just to spend some time with you guys, and share their awesome work with us. 

Let's show 'em how we do it here in Maryland, and remind them that Third Eye fans are the best fans in the country. 

We'll look forward to seeing you all tomorrow for the signing, and getting a chance to turn you onto some great new reads!

Bill Day, editorial cartooning, reusing artwork, and my opinion

Syndicates: Unemployed Cartoonist's Fundraising Drive Marred by Plagiarism Allegations
by: Rob Tornoe 1/23/2013
http://www.editorandpublisher.com/TopStories/Columns/Syndicates--Unemployed-Cartoonist-s-Fundraising-Drive-Marred-by-Plagiarism-Allegations

I've got a quote in this article.

Decorating my office with original art

For a short time, I've got an office at work. I've started framing some of the original comic art that I've gotten, and putting it up.  Buying this type of art is a good way to support cartoonists you like, of course.

Ullman coffee IV

The great Rob Ullman, who illustrated the sex column for the Washington City Paper for years, did the above. As a spot illustration, this doesn't have a title, but I call it "Coffee I.V." He's got a new minicomic for sale.

 Thompson - Dr jenner's vaccine

"Dr. Jenner's Vaccine" original scratchboard art by Baltimore children's book artist Jeff Thompson (of Big Planet Comics) on vaccinating for smallpox with cowpox. You can buy his art here.

 Emerson - Penicillin

"Penicillin" original art by British cartoonist Hunt Emerson, - a Christmas gift from my wife. You can buy his work here.




Obama, after Kal UPDATED

 101_5044

KAL gave a great presentation at an exhibit a few days ago. He talked about his career and political cartooning for an hour and a half, and it was great fun throughout. (The drawing above was a rush job, done on vacation at a dude ranch, and colored with a children's watercolor set.)

 101_5045

 101_5046

 101_5047

 101_5048

At the very end of his talk, he took the audience of about 30 people through a lesson in how to draw Obama. His was better, naturally, but it's pretty amazing that he got us to draw a recognizable caricature.
The exhibit, which includes some original artwork by KAL, is open for a few more days. If you go, make sure you see the second part of the exhibit downstairs.
