2nd Printing For UNDERTOW!

The 2nd printing of Undertow #1 is officially out of my hands and at the printer (comicbookprinting.com) as of last week.  The book features a new, Western-style paint job by Greg Harms (which I've dubbed "The Black Cover"), and an outstanding addition to the interior: an Organ-Grinder pin-up from Comic Book Bootcamp instructor and Ultimate Spider-Man writer/artist Ty Templeton!  Here's a shot of the new cover, but you'll have to buy the book to see Ty's poster!

The book is AVAILABLE FOR PURCHASE NOW on this website, and also from Greg, Gibson, or myself if you catch us at one of the cons.  Speaking of comic cons...

Things are getting very exciting as I feel the impending date for Emerald City Comic Con (Seattle, WA March 1-3) when Undertow #3 will make its debut.  The book is looking so hot it's hard to remember my former expectations because the people helping me along the way have exceeded them by so much.  I just keep rolling along with it, smile, and enjoy myself, messaging and sending files back and forth with fellow Undertow founders Greg Harms and Gibson Quarter, wondering what they'll show me next, and even more surprised with the pages from new team-member Adam Gorham.  Getting the oportunity to create with these guys is SO MUCH FUN!  Take a look at a couple of Adam's first pages for "The Forgetting."

 

There's more great work to see for anyone who's able to come by and see us at Emerald City Comic Con.  Please check back soon here as I'll be posting more work from the book.  Thanks for reading!

Artist Adam Gorham Joins UNDERTOW!

It's taken some time on the starting blocks but Undertow #3 is officially on its way as pages of finished artwork have begun showing up in the Dropbox.  The two stories featured in #2 ("The Organ-Grinder" and "The Forgetting") will appear again in #3, packed into 32 pages of story.  Gibson Quarter has provided another rendition of the OG for the cover (I've seen the pencils and can promise you it is nothing short of wicked), Greg Harms will be there to lend his color and discerning eye, and most exciting of all, artist Adam Gorham has come onboard to take up the task of illustrating "The Forgetting!"

Adam is solid in many mediums, but best of all (for Undertow and myself) he does excellent work with human figures and characterization, which there is going to be a ton of in the story.  It's always nice to be able the tell your characters apart when you have no color or spandex designs to do the job for you.  Adam has his own book, Teuton (just released the 2nd TPB in fact), which is set in the dark ages and full of interesting creatures and characters.  When Adam expressed an interest in Undertow, I had to see what he was all about so I checked out both of these books, and to tell the truth I was jealous, because they are nothing short of spectacular!  He and Fred Kennedy are both amazing storytellers and all the time and attention they've put into these books really shines through--great work and congratulations to both of them.  Both books can be purchased online from Indyplanet, or head straight there by clicking the images below.

 

More of Adam's work can also be seen on his blog at aprincelydreadful.blogspot.ca.  He's a busy guy with a ton of talent so he usually has something new up several times a week.  I can't wait to see what he'll bring to Undertow.  Thanks for reading!
