Con game 2012

It's a new year, Dickheads, and that means new opportunities to reach out to those fellow zombie dickheads out there in this beautifully rotten country of ours and bring them into the fold. First up is the brand-new Image Comics Expo in Oakland, CA, Feb. 24-26. It's going to be an amazing collection of Image Comics talent, both original and new recipes. I'm going to have copies of the Zombie Dickheads one-shot along with a brand-new exclusive signed and numbered print you can only get at the show. Here's a sneak peek:

"Con Zombies"

And that's not all. I'm planning on having exclusive prints for as many of the shows that I can. It's the least I can do in-between working on the next issue of Dickheads, which is coming as soon as I can finish up new freelance projects. Stay tuned!

I've updated the Appearances page for all of 2012's con appearances so far. Check back during the course of the year to see any new additions. Hope to see you around! And if you're a con organizer who'd like for me to come out to your show, drop me a line at zombiedickheads@gmail.com.

Best,
Chris

The Zombie Dickheads of Great Allentown Comic Con and Nuke the Fridge Con 2011

Zombie Dickheads continue to sweep the nation! Here are the Zombie Dickheads from the last shows of 2011, the Great Allentown Comic Con in Allentown, PA and Nuke the Fridge Con in City of Industry, CA.

Happy New Year, Dickheads!

Well, 2011 was a real doozy! Economic woes, political upheavals throughout the globe, natural disasters, looming catastrophes in internet censorship and civil liberties -- at least we can all look forward to 2012, where we'll all get blown to bits in the upcoming apocalypse!

But just because the world's going to hell in a Gucci handbag, that doesn't mean folks are giving up on a time-honored New Year's tradition: resolutions! I recently asked the Zombie Dickheads about theirs, and here's what they had to say.

DENNIS
"This year, I resolve to be a bit more tolerant of my housemates. Their lack of hygiene and consideration for others, not to mention the name-calling -- I need to understand that they can't help the rude, obnoxious, poorly-raised individuals they are, the causes of which are largely societal. A dash of half-hearted empathy, a pinch of condescension, and a heaping handful of pity for those around me are my recipe for a more tolerant new year!"

COLTON
"Resolutions are for deluded idiots who think the key to living better is by lying to yourself that you're in control of how your life turns out. Look at me! You think I planned to look like a Jack O'Lantern all year 'round? Or to be stuck with this pack of fucktards? Maybe I could give up chocolate for a year, or take that spin class I've been putting off, but it won't change the fact that life sucks, and it's only getting worse with each rotation of this miserable ball of shit we all live on."

JOSH
"I resolve to keep being awesome. I've spent my entire life, and most of this afterlife, maintaining a steady regiment of sitting around, working towards nothing, and basically not giving a shit, and it's worked out pretty great so far. Sure, there are some that say we're living in a hell on earth, but I say lower your standards and you'll see it's a wonderful life after all."

LISA
"I resolve to put myself out there more -- go out, try and meet people. I tend to live a pretty sheltered life, and my social life is, like, up and died, y'know? I've just gotta get some new friends. Don't get me wrong, these guys are, well, these guys. I just want to maybe know some... better people, I guess? Does that make me sound like a bitch?"



Thanks, Dickheads! As for yours truly, I resolve to get cracking to bring you more Zombie Dickheads goodness, and those plans are already well under way. Expect to see a buttload more news from our favorite band of hipster deadheads coming soon!

Best,
Chris

Zombie Dickheads storm NC Comicon. News at 11.

Greetings, Dickheads! Here's another tale of convention madness -- this time at the NC Comicon in Chapel Hill, NC! I was there spreading the good zombie word, and I was joined by my cohorts at Lost Story Studios in their promotion of our new horror anthology, DeathCurse, which was a con-exclusive comic produced by Ultimate Comics, the sponsors of the show.

The Zombie Dickheads of ZomBcon and LBCC 2011

The Dickheads convention train keeps a-rolling, folks, and one of my favorite things is doing zombie portraits of people in the back of the book. Here is a sampling of the ones I did at ZomBcon and Long Beach Comic Con. I present to you some brand-new Zombie Dickheads!

ZomBcon-quered!

D-E-A-D!

Man, oh, man! What a wild time at Seattle's ZomBcon this past weekend! The Dickheads made their big debut, and people really embraced them as their own.

Zombie Dickheads ARE coming to Seattle's ZomBcon!

Things are in a bit of a scramble here at the Safe House, as we get ready to head up to Seattle for ZomBcon, the West Coast's biggest zombie convention. We're all very excited to bring the Dickheads out to the undead masses. In addition to copies of the one-shot, we're going to have at the table an exclusive, limited-edition print of the Dickheads trying to blend in with the Seattle zombie crowd. It's a small run of 50 prints, which'll be signed and numbered, so act fast while supplies last.  Check it out here:

See you all in Seattle!

Also, just wanted to thank everyone that's ordered books so far. Orders are shipping with new ones on the way. There have been people asking about spreading the word to their local retailers, and I'm going to start putting together flyers and retailer packs that I'll have here on the site that can be printed out and distributed if you'd like. In the meantime, just direct them to this site. And if you're a retailer that would like to order copies of the book, drop me a line directly at zombiedickheads@gmail.com. I'm a one-man shop at the moment, so the fact that many of you want to help out means the world to me.
