I'm writing this extra post in order to let you all know there's a new work of mine available. That's Jim Anthony Super-Detective volume 1, a pulp-fiction book from Airship27, edited by Ron Fortier, designed by Rob Davis, with stories by Erwin K. Roberts, Andrew Salmon and B.C. Bell, fully-painted cover by Chad Hardin and eleven interior illustrations by yours truly.

A new series

Starting next wednesday, I'll be posting a new comics series created, written, pencilled, inked, colored and lettered right here by yours truly. Twice a
week, every wednesday and saturday each a new page.

I was writing this sort of essay, an introduction, if you will, to this new comic series of mine, rambling about all sorts of things, but then I had a change of mind. Let the work speak for itself, I thought.

So there, just a few lines, as a sort of announcement. I hope you come by and follow what I'll be building in the following months. If you find it intriguing enough, drop a few lines, comment and tell your friends about it.

Before we go, for the sake of credit where credit's due, I'll be using a font created by AIT's Larry Young (thanks, mr. Young!).

Until then!

ZAGER & EVANS - In the year 2525

WIP

Today: a panel from a page currently on my drawing board.
Next saturday : a formal public statement.

QUEEN - Radio Ga-Ga

Sketches IX - Sean Phillips

Sean Phillips drew me this one.

DURAN DURAN - Wild Boys

Sketches VIII - Neil Gaiman

Neil Gaiman, the man in black, signed me a couple of books back in 2003's BD Forum in Lisbon. Not exactly sketches, I know, but still worth sharing, I think.

RADIOHEAD - Karma Police

Sketches VII - Fernando Gonsales

Brazilian cartoonist, Fernando Gonsales, the creator of Níquel Nausea, drew me this sketch.

THE SMASHING PUMPKINS - Tonight, Tonight

Sketches VI - Rosinsky

Rosinsky drew me this lovely Thorgal as a child.
As a bonus, here's the master at work.

U2 - Window in the Skies

Sketches V - Daniel Clowes

Daniel Clowes, the world famous author of Ghost World.

U2 - Yahweh

Merry Christmas!

Sketches IV - Charles Burns

One of the very first "alternative" american comics I discovered many, many moons ago, watching the Comic Book Confidential documentary.

Charles Burns work is fascinatingly eerie, mixing the disturbing with the glamourous.

PAUL SIMON - You can call me Al

Sketches III - Chris Ware

Chris Ware is Jimmy Corrigan. Ok, that might be an exageration... but that's the feeling I got when he did me this sketch.

LIMAHL - The Neverending Story

Sketches II - Seth Fisher

This is by the late great cartoonist Seth Fisher. Out of the handfull of international cartoonists I had the grace of meeting and greeting, he was the kindest and most generous I ever met. Alas, the good die young. R.I.P.

R.E.M. - Nightswimming

Sketches I - Dave Gibbons

Now, this is a really sketchy sketch! It was the first one I ever got from a famous comic book artist, Dave Gibbons. It's Rorschach of the Watchmen.

AIMEE MANN - Save me

TOYS V - Le Fauve

Got this one early this year at the Ângouleme Festival International de la Bande-Dessinée. The little kitty is called Le Fauve.
He's the Festival's mascot/trophy and was designed by the great french cartoonist Lewis Trondheim.

COLDPLAY - Viva la Vida

TOYS IV - Lord of the Rings

While I don't think that Peter Jackson's adaptation of J.R.R. Tolkien's Lord of the Rings - one of my all-time favorite books - is as good as it could have been (curse you, Peter, for not giving us the scorching of the Shire) I still liked it, in no small way thanks to the visual translations of Alan Lee and John Howe.

My wife (then-girlfriend) got me the first special edition of the Fellowship of the Ring dvd with the Argonath miniature so it was only natural that we ended up collecting the rest of them. Smeagol, which came with "The Two Towers" is my favorite!
