Well, Dickheads, the art is almost complete for the one-shot, and pinups are rolling in. Here's a work-in-progress from my very talented brother-from-the-same-mother, Zees! He was inspired by Zombie Dickheads to bring back his long-lost comic Zombie Cola. Could a crossover be far behind?
There's also some more big news on the way, but it's still too soon to tell. I will say that it's got everyone here at the safe house very excited. And you folks'll be the first to know!
Just wanted to give you a sneak peek at some of the pinups for my very talented pals that I'm going to include in the Zombie Dickheads one-shot. This one comes from my good friend, Chris Herndon, co-creator of the hilarious Living with Zombies comic series, and one twisted so-and-so.
Inks are complete on the brand-new 24-page Dickheads adventure. Now onto colors! We're racing toward our debut of the Zombie Dickheads one-shot for October's shows!
Production on the brand-new 24-page original Dickheads adventure is moving along swimmingly! Pencils are complete, and as you can see, we're all very excited!
I was lucky enough to get interviewed by the lovely Susan Coffey for deviantART as part of their coverage of SDCC 2011. I talk about Zombie Dickheads and art, both regular and deviant.
Here's a detail of a panel from the upcoming Dickheads one-shot. Actually, it's not the real Tom Selleck, but it's a zombie who looks like Tom Selleck. 'Cause you know there's always one in every horde...
For those unaware, San Diego Comic-Con, one of the largest comic conventions in the country, dare I say the world, was a few weeks back. I was lucky enough to be set up in Artists' Alley, as I have for the past 6 or so years. Now, I know what you're thinking, when's the last time anyone got anything good in an alley, besides smack? But Artists' Alley is a great place at a comic con to meet all of the folks that create the comic books that they then turn into your favorite movies and video games. Where are we? In the alley.
This year, Artists' Alley was sponsored by deviantART, which is one of my favorite sites devoted to artists of all types. They had two large jumbotron screens showcasing our art, as well as a computer setup with Wacom tablets where we could do some live drawing. It was a pretty sweet setup.
So, anyway, I was on-hand in the Alley, promoting Zombie Dickheads, pressing the flesh (pun intended), doing sketches, and what-not, and I was approached by the fine folks at fearNET to talk about my new book. I like their site and network a whole lot, and they like me, so that's pretty great.
I also got a sweet mention (along with one silly-ass photo of me) from Scott De Las Casas over at boingboing! I'm very excited to spread the infected word about my favorite band of zombie hipsters. Anyone else wants to talk dickheads, feel free to drop me a line.
Welcome to the home of the ZOMBIE DICKHEADS -- a comedic look at the undead apocalypse from the point of view of four dysfunctional zombies who don't eat human flesh, as they attempt to find a place of their own in a world where they don't fit in amongst other zombies, humans, and each other.
The Dickheads first appeared in theZombie Bomb Vol. 4: Dark DazefromTerminal Press. A 48-page one-shot is on its way in Oct., to be sold at this year's conventions, with digital download to follow soon after. The one-shot will reprint the original Zombie Bomb story with an all-new 24-page story and pinups by some of my favorite comics artists.
I'll be making announcements here -- works in progress, press, and convention appearances -- all the dickhead news that's fit to print. But you'll have to check it out here, folks, because Zombie Dickheads are NOT coming to get you.
