 Whatsup everybody, Let the signing begin! This weekend, as I'm sure you're all aware of, is FREE COMIC BOOK DAY. The day four and a half million books are given away for free all over the country in support of the magnificent story-telling medium know as the "comic". And 37,000 of those will be a free FUBAR sample comic (see to the left) containing stories from the just released FUBAR: American History Z. It is also the day that the ground forces of FUBAR will be infiltrating a comic shop near you for a massive signing by the contributing creators: 12 states, 2 provinces, 3 countries, 26 shops, 37,000 books, and all on 1 DAY. And that day officially begins at MIDNIGHT tonight. At midnight I'll be doing a signing for FUBAR: AHZ at Capitol Comics in Annapolis, MD. My comic ROGERS' WALKERS, written the Shawn "The Man" Williams and illustrated by moi lies between it's covers. And I'm proud to have it there. I'll be signing the comic, displaying the original artwork, and doing sketches of all kinds. I'll also be promoting some exciting news regarding ROGERS' WALKERS that I can't yet tell you about. But it's coming! Then, bright & early (and likely weary-eyed) I'll also be in Baltimore, MD at Collector's Corner for their all-day FCBD signing extravaganza beginning at 9am. My good pals of PLB Comics will be in attendance as well (and at Capitol Comics  too!) as well as the talented Cary Nord (CONAN), Marc Hempel (SANDMAN), Brandon Seifert (WITCH DOCTOR, Michael S. Bracco (BIRTH & NOVO) and many, many more.
If you'd like to know more on FCBD & FUBAR here's an interview Jeff McComsey, Fubar's Commander-in-Cheif just did with RUE MORGUE magazine. Check it out HERE. Also, here's a list of comics put together by IGN.com to grab up tomorrow (for FREE). Check it out HERE. And of course that list includes FUBAR. AND, if you're more of an NPR fan here's a link to an article they put together of their favorite FCBD comics (also, including FUBAR, wouldn't ya know). You can read that right HERE. Alright, that's enough links for the day. See you at Capitol Comics at midnight & Collector's Corner tomorrow! - D

 Today is the BIG day: FUBAR: American History Z hit stands everywhere! If you're not familiar with the massive tome of zombie goodness that is FUBAR then now is you're time. FUBAR is the New York Times Bestselling Graphic Novel Series. It's a collection of historical wars, battles and significant moments in human history... that places them in a hoard of hungry zombies. American History Z is the 3rd volume of FUBAR and, as you can guess, this time it's taking on the history of America - beginning with the discovery of the New World, moving up through the Revolutionary War, the Civil War, the underground railroad, Vietnam and even Woodstock. Plus much, much more. Why am I stoked about AMZ? Within it's pages is the story ROGERS' WALKERS, written by the master wordsmith himself, Mr. Shawn Williams and illustrated (and lettered even) by yours-truly. ROGERS' WALKERS is inspired by the true story of Major Robert Rogers, his band of Rangers and the controversial St. Frances Raid of 1759. Our story contains action, drama and perhaps even a little cannibalism (every story needs some of that, right?). Here's a snippet of the good times that await Rogers and his Rangers.  So run out to your local comic shop or book store and grab yourself a copy. It's a hefty one - over over 400 pages (436 to be exact), so you may want to bring some help carrying it to the car.
In the next couples days I'll be posting more exciting news on AMZ, Rogers' Walkers and it's artwork, as well as upcoming signings. Keep your eyes peeled troops! Talk with you soon, - D |
