FREE COMIC BOOK DAY!
It's that time of year once again, where thousands of comic book stores across the country and around the globe celebrate Free Comic Book Day! What is Free Comic Book Day, you might ask? Well, here's how they explain it at the Free Comic Book Day website:
Free
Comic Book Day is a single day - the first Saturday in May each year -
when participating comic book shops across North America and around the
world give away comic books absolutely FREE* to anyone who
comes into their stores.
*Check with your local shop for their participation and rules.
So, where can you find a shop near you participating in FCBD? Well, you can use the FCBD Store Locator on the FCBD website!
And, if you happen to be in Metro-Detroit, you can stop by Green Brain Comics
in Dearborn from 10 AM to 6 PM to see me! I'll be signing and selling
copies of my books, along with a whole bunch of other Detroit area
comics book creators. Pop by the Green Brain website for more details.
If
you're not close to Dearborn, there are a whole lot of other excellent
comic shops in the area that will also be participating. Check the
above mentioned FCBD Store Locator for the location nearest you.
| AVAILABLE NOW!
TWISTED JOURNEYS #20: PERIL AT SUMMERLAND PARK from Graphic Universe (a division of Lerner Publishing). Written by myself and illustrated by Sandy Caruthers, my partner in crime on Twisted Journeys #3: Terror in Ghost Mansion and Graphic Myths & Legends Yu the Great: Conquering the Floods. Available at bookstores and online retailers.
It's been a while
since I've tackled a Twisted Journeys book. Nice
to return to the fold. Especially nice to do so with Sandy Carruthers,
who pulled out all the stops on this one. I think he may have an
unhealthy fascination with abandoned amusement parks! (Which I heavily
encouraged.)
Here's what Graphic Universe has to say about the book:
You
and your friends had no trouble breaking into the abandoned Summerland
Amusement Park. Getting out won't be as easy. Can you escape the
sinister creatures that dwell among the rides? Every Twisted Journeys® grapic novel lets YOU control the action by choosing which path to follow. Which twists and turns will your journey take?

Still hard at work on a NEW series for Moonstone Books

More on that as the release dates are firmed up. This is a new take on
the Jungle Queen, as envisioned by screenwriter Steven E. de Souza of Die Hard fame.
The first issue is going to be illustrated by Jake Minor, with subsequent issues by Shawn McCauley.
I'll be sure to let you know as soon as I've got info on the publication schedule!

| CANCELLED
Sorry to report that preorders for all four issues of The Muse have been cancelled. I have no information at this time as to when or in what format this story will see publication.
I do want to thank both Randy
"Rantz" Kintz, the illustrator on issue 1, and J. Bruce Bogle, who
illustrated issues 2-4, for their hard work. For their sakes, even more
so than my own, I hope this story does eventually get published. |

THE GREEN HORNET CASEFILES
This is an amazing colloction of thrilling tales from a pantheon of
authors, including me, featuring
the fabulous '60s version of
The Green Hornet and Kato. Regular edition cover painted by the legendary Michael Wm. Kaluta! Limited edition hardcover illustrated by the
talented Ruben
Procopio!
The long-awaited return of the
Green Hornet and Kato and their rolling arsenal the Black Beauty! Back
again with all-new stories! Moonstone is proud to present The Green
Hornet Casefiles, a second anthology featuring all-new, original crime
fiction tales of the man who hunts the biggest of all game - public
enemies that even the FBI can't reach! It's the mid 1960's, the
political climate is shaky, there's civil unrest, freedom and equality
issues erupt everywhere from film to music to out in the streets.
On
police records, The Green Hornet is actually a wanted criminal, a
master manipulator, a crime boss who has his fingers in every pie. In
reality, The Green Hornet is actually Britt Reid, owner-publisher of
the Daily Sentinel. Alongside him rides his partner Kato, who's not
only a martial artist of unsurpassed prowess, but a skilled driver, and
educated engineer as well. Their goal: to destroy crime from within by
posing as criminals themselves!

MADE FOR EACH OTHER
 Written by
Paul D. Storrie
Illustrated by
Eldon Cowgur
Tom Stone stepped into Seward
High and into Maria McBride's life like a bolt of lightning. He's the
perfect guy for Maria—nice, smart, and well-built. There's just one
problem: his family. Tom's father is the town's new funeral director,
and business is booming. The bodies are piling up thick and fast in
Persephone Falls, Alaska, so Dr. Stone keeps Tom up late at night
working in the funeral home. And it's clear that Dr. Stone and his
creepy assistant, Graves, don't want Maria around. Maria knows Tom was
made for her. She's determined to find out what Dr. Stone has against
her. When Tom refuses to stand up to his father, Maria begins to stitch
together the clues...and finds out that the Stones are into recycling
in ways she never could have imagined.
