8th July 2004 / Free Stuff / The Long Haul
Sadly, I’m not attending the San Diego Comic-Con this year. But if you are, look out for the Oni Press ‘convention ashcan’, which will contain a small preview of THE LONG HAUL.
It’s a completed, fully inked and lettered sequence from the first chapter, and Eduardo’s artwork looks amazing. But it won’t be available anywhere online until after the convention, so be sure to drop by the Oni booth and pick up a copy to see for yourself.
9th June 2004 / Closer / F-Stop / Interviews / Nightjar / The Long Haul
I’m currently working on the Big Avatar Thing I mentioned toward the end of last year, which will keep me occupied for a few months at least, and I’m also moving house (again, but hopefully for the last time) in the next few weeks, which means my Net access will be limited. So here’s a quick round-up:
NIGHTJAR #2 will be out next week. Due to the delay in producing this one, it looks like the HOLLOW BONES one-shot will actually then come out between #2 and #3, so as to be published in time for the summer US convention season.
CLOSER should also be out next week – my editor saw final press proofs yesterday, so the presses should be rolling as I write this. He said it looked great, which is a relief. Hope the horror buffs among you like it.
YUGGOTH CREATURES appears to be catching the interest of quite a few HPL fans, even those not overly familiar with comics, which is nice. I’ve just completed an interview with online comics zine CBEM about the book, too.
Speaking of interviews, there’s a reasonably large article about me appearing in next month’s VAMPIRELLA MAGAZINE, focusing mainly (and not surprisingly) on my horror work. I think it’s the largest print interview I’ve ever done, so keep an eye out for it.
Besides the Big Avatar Thing, work continues apace on THE LONG HAUL and F-STOP, and the shape of Book II of SPOOKED is finally starting to coalesce in my head. I’m also working up a couple of new ideas which have got me quite excited – one of them is shaped around a story I’ve wanted to write in some form or another for about the last fifteen years…
5th May 2004 / Interviews / The Long Haul
it’s a ways off yet, but Matt Brady conducted a
quick interview with me for Newsarama about THE LONG HAUL, which was published today. There’s one slight error – the book will be out in November, not September as stated – but it’s a pretty good overview of the book, and why I suddenly found myself attracted to Westerns.
