They come to snuff the Wooster

WOOSTER-Deet-1

Above is a layout detail from the now in progress SCALPED #43 featuring Nebraksa's favorite son, the one and only Sheriff Wooster T. Karnow.

Capturing Wooster's propensity for being long winded is probably a natural fit for me. The number of questions/ideas I run by Jason Aaron about this story in any given phone call is likely only surpassed by to how badly those calls make him wish his eardrums could grow half the beard his face has.

THE PLAID AND THE FURY

Back from my whirlwind tour of the Northeast and all I got was this stupid life drawing:

life-nyc-sept10-ink-low

Okay that's not true. I got a lot of those street peanuts/cashews they sell in NYC. Those things are delicious. If I had a real band our NYC concept album would be called STREET NUTS in their honor.

Anyways, the trip was a great success. Got to attend Baltimore Comic Con, devour a Brazilian meat storm, see many friends new and old and prowl the streets and gutters of the cit-ay. All in all not a bad "vacation". Can't wait to turn around and go back in a month.

Also- while I was gone WOLVERINE #1 and I AM AN AVENGER #1 both hit stands. The response to the work has been really flattering overall. I'm super proud and grateful to have been a part of those things. WOLVERINE seems to have done really well sales wise. I walked into Jim Handley's and they were packaging copies of the book with purchases of $20 or more. A great idea to get it into new reader's hand.

HANDLEY'S NYC-WOLV #1

So thanks again to everyone who bought either, I hope you enjoyed.

DEAR GOD A VIDEO INTERVIEW--

Turns out that while I was in Baltimore I got interviewed. Amidst a sea of western plaid, male pattern baldness & beards myself & SURFING THE BLEED'S Brett Williams talk Daredevil, Scalped, Creator-owned comics & breaking in.
Floating noggin GO!!:


SURFING THE BLEED INTERVIEW

It's semi-serious, but I've been informed by Brett that our ramblings on Big Lebowski and 1980s wrestling will eventually be repackaged and posted. I'll let you know. I know you're dying for it
