Now for something a little different

In a move away from monsters and the like, I was recently commissioned to do the artwork for the invitations to the the 25th Anniversary party for Shaman Drum Bookshop , an excellent academic and independant book store in Ann Arbor.

I've also been asked to do a number of pieces to accompany the various book categories on the website. Those should start appearing in just a few weeks, and I'll post a reminder when they do.

The Powerpuff Girls #68

I wrote a couple of short pieces for the new issue of The Powerpuff Girls which hits comic book stores tomorrow.

Website Update

I just added a couple of new images to the gallery section, including a beautiful collage of Lon Chaney in "The Penalty"

Check it out here...

Enjoy!

Scooby-Doo #102

SCOOBY-DOO #102 will be available in comic book stores tomorrow. I wrote every story in this issue which includes superstitions, footballs, voodoo dolls and a tribute to "The Craeture From the Black Lagoon."

The Ghost In The Bottle

In time for Halloween CARTOON NETWORK BLOCK PARTY #14 is available in comic book stores today. It features a "Dexter's Laboratory" story I wrote, which is somewhat spooky, and includes a mysterious trick that you can perform at home to freak out your friends and kids. Flashlight not included.

The Powerpuff Girls #67

Issue #67 of The Powerpuff Girls includes a Halloween story I wrote. You can find this issue in comic book stores starting today.

Expand Your Library

Tonight I had the pleasure of meeting Kelly Link who is rapidly becomming my favorite author. Her stories are funny, inventive, and disturbing; dark fantasy at its very best for those of you who like labels. Anyone who is spending time here at my site will certainly not be disappointed. I can't recommend her work enough.

Reward yourself and pick up both of her short story collections now.

"Stranger Things Happen" and "Magic For Beginners"

Scooby-Doo #101

The new issue of SCOOBY-DOO hits comic book stores today and features two stories I wrote. The first is a mystery involving a stolen library. The second is an informative story about vampires.

Impressive Company

I'm not sure where Ted Bohus finds the time. He's involved in a handful of magazines, he runs conventions, he makes movies, and now he's got a new website dedicated to monsters called MONSTERS 411. Among the treats to be found there is a page of monster artwork which includes pieces by Basil Gogos, Daniel Horne, William Stout, Frank Dietz, Dave Stevens, Michael Calandra, Frank Frazetta, and myself. I'm honored to be included in such an illustrious group. Go check it out.

The Powerpuff Girls #66

A very small offering this week. There is a short 2 page story I wrote in the middle of this month's issue of THE POWERPUFF GIRLS which is available in comic book stores today. Get it for yourself. Get it for your kid.

ignore this.

I Married a Monster From Outer Space

MONSTERS FROM THE VAULT has added the gorgeous cover, by Sorko, to their December issue (#21). This issue contains an article I wrote on the classic 1958 film "I Married a Monster From Outer Space." This began as a review which I was asked to expand into a full article. Additional material, in the form of sidebars, is being furnished by film scholar Tom Weaver. Tom has written numerous books on classic horror cinema, and if you've watched a horror movie made before 1968, chances are good that Tom provided the commentary to the DVD.

At a comic book store near you

Available in comic book stores today, for a mere quarter, is VAMPIRELLA: REVELATIONS #0. This is the lead in to a 10-issue series of interconnected stories written by Mike Carey, Christopher Priest, Jay Faerber, and myself.

While I did not write VAMPIRELLA:REVELATIONS #0,
there is a brief interview with me about my part in the series.

Did I mention it's only 25¢ ?

Welcome

After a very lengthy time of promising a website of my own, it is finally here. For this, I thank Rob Scott for the great work. The site is still in its rudimentary form, and will be polished and added to as time allows. Look around. Make comments, suggestions, etc. Check in often. Starting tomorrow, I'll actually strt posting some news.
