You need some hot summer reading for when you're vacationing on the beach, at the pool or under the viaduct etcetera? Check out my new comic book, <a href="http://www.usscatastrophe.com/itlives/comics/" target="_blank"><i>Men's Feelings</i></a>. I'll post more about it soon. It's an all new collection of short gag strips that aren't really gag strips. Which is why they will blow your mind. It's my first solo comic book in a long time (since It Lives!). It's five bucks and free shipping (in the US) on <a href="http://www.usscatastrophe.com/itlives/comics/" target="_blank">my site</a>, so grab one TODAY (also available from the publisher, <a href="http://www.revivalhousepress.com/" target="_blank">Revival House Press</a> as well as the <a href="http://www.usscatastrophe.com/store/index.html" target="_blank">Cat Shop</a>).Ted Mayhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15072372495167995966noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26763514.post-12410193571460945212013-04-24T23:05:00.000-05:002013-05-09T17:29:12.631-05:00Eisner Nomination; Full Story Posted Online<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

The story I did with Jeff Wilson for <i>Injury</i> #4, "A Birdsong Shatters the Still," just got nominated for an Eisner in the category of "Best Short Story." We're both freaked and honored to be in consideration for this award. If you're a comics pro and voting in the Eisners, please consider voting for us. <br />
<br />
In honor of that, we've posted the story online at <a href="http://whatthingsdo.com/comic/a-birdsong-shatters-the-still/#6396" target="_blank">What Things Do</a>. <br />
<br />
If you're too busy and just want the short version, here goes.
A group of teens get stoned before reporting to detention. They have to
stay quiet. That's pretty much it. Now go vote.<br />
<br />
BTW: Michael Kupperman (<i>Tales Designed to Thrizzle</i>) has a story up for the same award. I love his stuff. His story is posted <a href="https://michael-kupperman.squarespace.com/moon69" target="_blank">here</a>.

I'm one of the forlorn few who won't be there - but if <i>you</i> will and you're in need of the latest issue of <i>Injury</i>, elbow your way over to the USS Catastrophe table (D13B) - manned by Kevin Huizenga and/or Dan Zettwoch. There you will find: copies of Injury, including the hot selling #4, plus cheap signed posters of the covers of Injury #1 and #4. <br />

I'm kinda late updating this but the book is printed and looks awesome. I'm working on getting all the Kickstarter orders fulfilled. Alternative Comics kicked in some additional funding to print extra copies and get the book better distribution. It should start hitting comic store shelves in a few weeks, and it's already available from Wow Cool, amazon, and me personally. We're gonna do posters very soon. INJURY 4. COMICS CURRENCY. Enjoy.<br />

I just had a minor freakout walking past the claw machine at the grocery store. Inside was a mini pillow with Captain America on it featuring the art of...Frank Robbins!! Pretty much the only time Cap has ever looked badass was when FR was drawing him (outside of Kirby obviously). Weird too, cause Robbins is one of the more excoriated artists among mainstream comics nerds. Frank Robbins is the <i>last</i> dude I'd expect to see gracing any kind of Marvel merch. I woulda tried my luck, but we were there with our kid and there was a big stuffed <i>Brobee</i> right next to the Cap pillow. I mean, I love FR, but I got a fatherly reputation to protect. Sheesh. It does however me wonder what else they got in that claw machine: A plush Bill Everett Sub Mariner? a Carl Burgos Human Torch beer koozy? <br />
<br />
BTW: I'm <a href="http://bigglee.blogspot.com/2011_10_01_archive.html" target="_blank">not the only nerd</a> flipping over Frank Robbins in claw machines.<br />
<br />
The actual pillow below. Would be a good choice of bedding next time you plan on spending a couple decaded in suspended animation. <i></i><br />

Special behind the scenes look at the making of. It took me forever to come up with a cover for this issue. Out of practice, I guess. I like to do covers that aren't directly related to the contents, but maybe that's a bad idea for sales.

Hey! The <a href="http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1296919374/injury-comics-4" target="_blank">Injury 4 Kickstarter</a> is winding down! There are less than two days to go, so if you wanna get in on it, do so NOW. We sailed past the 100% mark, so I'm officially pleased, but if you want a copy of the book or any of the extra junk on offer, now's the time to ACT.<br />

So, if you've been pining away for the next issue of Injury - now's your chance to ACT! Get over to Kickstarter and preorder a copy. I've got other stuff up there, too: posters, prints, original art, etc. I'll be adding more soon. <br />
<br />
The issue: 36 pages, two stories: one Jeff Wilson autobio tale about DRUGS and DETENTION, and one Beast Biplane story feat. the return of GREG, sweet full color cover, all for 6 bucks (I know! it's the economy - you get free shipping so...eh?). The book should be available in May. <br />
<br />
Hey, if that doesn't entice you, check out the amazing trailer that Injury's own Jeff Wilson put together:<br />

Man alive. How could you see this comic and NOT buy it. I don't know the artist. The character design looks like something from Go Nagai. <br />

I found a really cool Jack Kirby panel from <i>Thor</i> and repurposed it with Beast Biplane. I just wanted to see if I could approximate that old school style of inking with a brush pen. It's sloppy but that's not the pen's fault. I was anti brush pen for a long time, but I use em here and there. I'm still kinda leery of inking a whole panel with 'em. Like maybe the ghost of Chic Stone will put a curse on me or something.Ted Mayhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15072372495167995966noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26763514.post-80953735111004219042011-10-11T20:46:00.000-05:002012-03-31T13:50:46.510-05:00Page oneHere's the first page of a story Jeff and I did for Injury 4.<br />

I met Dylan Williams at the SPACE comics show in Columbus, Ohio in ’02. Actually I met him the night before the show at the Laughing Ogre comics shop. We hit it off pretty much instantly and within minutes of meeting each other we were running around the shop like idiots scoffing at the reproduction quality of the Marvel Masterworks books and unearthing old issues of <i>Speedball</i> from the longboxes. It was a rare phone call with DW that didn’t end up in both of us referencing our copies of <i>The Photo-Journal Guide to Comic Books: Volume One and Two</i>.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Comics lost a great guy this past weekend when Dylan Williams passed away. Dylan published one of my books via his publishing company, Sparkplug Comicbooks, but I think of him more as just a really good friend. I was always thankful that I got to know and work with him. He was a real independent dude both in the way he wrote comics and the way he ran his company. I always very much admired his heart, generosity and dedication. Not to mention his vast knowledge of both old comics and kung fu movies. In fact, I gotta think right now he’s shoulder to shoulder with Mort Meskin rifling thru some incredible longboxes.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Dylan had been in the hospital quite a bit recently. Lots of people have suggested buying <a href="http://www.sparkplugcomicbooks.com/">Sparkplug</a> comics to help his family with the medical bills, and I'd like to echo that suggestion here. And I would also add the suggestion to not let time slip away from you. Thinking about Dylan being gone at such a relatively young age just made me think about what a short time we have in life. And it makes me admire the amount he was able to accomplish and the lives he touched. I know my life is much better for having known him. I’m really gonna miss him, that’s for sure.</div>Ted Mayhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15072372495167995966noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26763514.post-58239352330831277872011-07-29T13:24:00.000-05:002012-03-31T13:50:59.419-05:00Leon strip<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

Dan Z., Kevin H. and I did a Leon Beyond baseball-themed comics feature for the RFT. It's essentially to add some levity to the subject of major league baseball's "Opening Day."
