Rainy Days and Monkeys

Hi ho!

It's raining on the far side of the world and once again, I forgots to blog!

New pages went up on schedule though if you were paying attention:

The Hunter II page 26














Kung Fu Monkeyface page 16
























Here's a sterling comic book recommendation for you:
The Hunter adaptation by Darwyn Cooke.



















This is Cooke's comic book version of the first of those Richard Stark Parker books that I've been extolling here on the blog.











It's gorgeous and note perfect. Hardboiled crime comics at their absolute best. It's really quite a lot better than Gabe Stein's The Hunter. :)










Cooke really is a master. Not a line out of place. The design, the color, the lettering - the whole damn package is just top of the line. I got a chance to go to Darwyn Cooke's panel at the New York comicon. Very interesting guy with all the right opinions on all the right things. I spoke with him briefly and he was all kinds of nice. It's always gratifying to meet people you admire and have them not be dicks.

Check it out and I bet you'll snatch up the next volume The Outfit on your very next visit to the ol' comic shop.

Have a Happy Halloween weekend!

New York Comicon

So I got back from the New York Comicon and was immediately swamped by all the work I'd neglected. But worth it, it was. Met up with the old Zuda gang, many of whom have now rallied 'round the banner of the Comics Social Club. Truly, a nicer group of people one could never hope to meet. Had a grand time hanging with everybody, drinking beer and talking comics. Met quite a few people I'd only known through the magic of the internets and made quite a few new friends too. Got to go to the DC comics party which was a kick. Made me feel almost like an actual comics professional. Also, the free food and booze was a nice touch. Bought a ton of comics and an iPad too. And I discovered that Brooklyn is quite nice and bears more exploration. Plus, I got a keen comission from a familiar friend that'll soon be seeing the light of the web over on the MonkeybunnyÜberblog. Keep yer eyes peeled. Oh, and I got to meet my big hero Brian Bendis. A very nice guy. All in all, a fabulous weekend.

So here I am back at Untrue central with a couple of updates for ya:

The Hunter II page 25















Kung Fu Monkeyface page 15





















I probably should blog more, but the work she calls to me.

Enjoy the Octoberness!
