Slash and Bash Wrap Up

THANKS for coming out and being supportive at the film fesitivus. If you bought a comic, hopefully you'll like it enough to keep buying more. If you didn't buy one because you weren't sure it was worth it, well, you'd better get on board now before you get left behind. You don't know what you're missing! (By the way, in the photo above, that's Adrienne Barbeau in the middle, pimpin' the Zombietowne tee! That's my aunt-in-law on the right, and me on the left. I'm not really that tall. The camera phone adds three feet. And a beard.)

I had a great time at the festival and am looking forward to hopefully being invited back next year. My steam-powered number-crunching predictor machine tells me that in one years time I should be on issue...10 or 11. I wish it would go faster than that, but doing both the writing and the drawing makes it difficult to crank out these things any faster than one every two months.

But looking ahead, I am hoping to get into a comic convention coming up shortly in Des Moines. (Thanks to Bill for telling me about it!) After that, there's another horror film fest at the Tivoli in Kansas City that I will hopefully have a presence at, even if it's just a display.

And in other news, I'm continuing to make headway on issue #5, "Feels Like the First Time." Start brushing up on your Foreigner...and your Dr. King. (You'll see.)

See you in the funny pages!

Getting closer...

SEPTEMBER 25th is fast-approaching. (It seems like it gets closer every day!) Be sure to buy your tickets or steal them from someone who trusts you so you can get in to see all the great classic horror movies and meet Adrienne Barbeau. But most importantly, bring some cash, because you're going to want to buy a few copies of "Yellow," so you can read it again and again and again.

In other news, I've begun work on Issue #5 now--tentatively titled "Feels Like the First Time". (And yes, I promise "Yellow" #5 will included at least one reference to Mountain Dew.) I've written the script, and am in the process of storyboarding the panels. I hope to already be partway through drawing it by the start of next week, although if you come visit me at Slash and Bash you will undoubtedly find me working on it there, too.

Well, that's all for now!

Slash and Bash 2009!

WELCOME, bloggers and comic book aficionados. For my first post ever on the Yellow blog, I'm going to direct you to join me at Slash and Bash 2009 in Topeka, KS. The three day festival of film and fright runs Friday, Sept. 25th to Sunday the 27th.

There will be special guests, including directors introducing their own films, and legendary actress Adrienne Barbeau (Swamp Thing, Escape From New York, HBO's "Carnivale"). See screenings of Army of Darkness, Phantasm, Bonnie and Clyde vs. Dracula (I'm looking forward to that one, personally) and more!

And best of all, you can buy copies of Yellow! I'll have nice, freshly-printed copies of "Shrinking Universe," the trade paperback collecting the first three issues--as well as the all-new issue, "Spares." Plus, this will be the only time you can get an exclusive "Slash & Bash 2009" Yellow mini-poster.

I promise you will be the coolest kid at your church youth camp.

Hope to see you there! (At the film fest, I mean. Not youth camp.)
