This is a slightly better band than the one Steege and I were in . . . nice theme they got going, though. Plus the end gets scary as I imagine Hot Dog Hell would be!

I think this book sounds and looks fantastic! Really looking forward to checking this thing out, as Nate and Chris are fantastic creators who have impressed the hell out of me before. Archaia releases tremendous books, and don’t ever let the price tag scare you off, they are well worth the money you are plunking down!

Archaia Entertainment announces COW BOY: A BOY AND HIS HORSE, a dandy new graphic novel comin’ in March by NATE COSBY (Jim Henson’s The Storyteller, Pigs) and CHRIS ELIOPOULOS (Franklin Richards: Son of a Genius, Misery Loves Sherman). Them good-for-nothin’s wrote’n drew the main tale, and there’s short stories by the likes’a ROGER LANGRIDGE (The Muppet Show Comic), COLLEEN COOVER (Spider-Man), BRIAN CLEVINGER & SCOTT WEGENER (Atomic Robo) an’ MIKE MAIHACK (Cleopatra in Space).

COW BOY’s the tale of Boyd Linney, a 10-year-old bounty hunter determined t’round up his entire outlaw family. He scours the Old West on a horse that ain’t his, armed with a stick-horse what packs a loud holler.

“This is my favorite thing I’ve ever written,” said varmint author Nate Cosby. “And it’s the best thing Chris has ever drawn. It’s an all-ages tale of justice, redemption and growing up with the knowledge that you can love your family…but that doesn’t mean you can let them get away with everything. I’m so excited Archaia is giving Chris and I the chance to bring our story to a big audience.”

“Creating a book that can be read by anyone and everyone gives me a great feeling,” spouted yella-bellied Chris Eliopoulos. “Knowing I can hand COW BOY to my parents or my children and know they will both enjoy it is something very rare these days in comics. And for me personally, I enjoyed the chance to push my art in new ways. From the coloring, the action to evoking a feeling with a few simple lines, this has been one of the best things I’ve ever done and I know that when people read it, they’ll love it, too.”

This here book’s shippin’ in March, and is available for pre-order now through them comic shops.

Startin’ January 23, you can mosey over to http://cowboycomic.net and follow the adventures of the Cow Boy. There’ll be free weekly updates with never-before-seen parts of this tale for all ages to gander at.

The boys over at EARTH 2 PODCAST have started what I think is a very hilarious webcomic called Boozehounds! What else would it be about besides talking heads at a bar if it wasn’t from that gang

The boys from Mr Murder is Dead and Archaia sent out a pretty damn awesome holiday card this year! Steege wanted me to change it to “sex worker” but like hell I am censoring a fine piece of art like this!

Oooooooo spoooooooky! Some of our friends over at Tales From The Parent’s Basement decided to do a fun podcast centering on horror films, in particular some of the offerings from British film makers over the years! It looks like once a month they will have a new podcast featuring two movies which they announced a month prior, so the listeners can also have a chance to watch the films and participate. Pretty nifty idea, and I will be trying to get my hands on a few of those films to give them a watch!

Films for next month: The Mummy (Hammer, 1959), The Blood On Satan’s Claw (Tigon, 1970)

Also, check out that sweet banner created by Andy Bloor!

One of our youngest Weiners (don’t worry, he is still legal) Robb has been featured for a bio by one of his buddies. True to form, he swears a lot, but as a nice change of pace he actually has a message to spread . . .

Robb is in a wheelchair. Deal with it. And don’t feel bad for him at all. You see him at a convention, poke him in the eye really hard and tell him to stop ripping on Grant Morrison. If you don’t do it than we have to, and my thumb is getting tired from all the eye gouging.
