Dickheads come to Zombietown, USA!

Hey there, Dickheads! Very excited to be heading to the Pittsburgh Comicon this weekend, Apr. 20-22, in beautiful Monroeville, PA. For those not in the undead know, Monroeville, and more specifically the Monroeville Mall were featured prominently in George A. Romero's horror classic Dawn of the Dead. So what better convention to bring my Zombie Dickheads to than the Home of the Zombie? This also presented a fantastic opportunity to show my love for Romero's zombie universe by doing an homage to the posters for those films featuring our Dickheads in a series of prints debuting at the show.




All three of these prints are going to be available at the show this weekend, along with copies of Zombie Dickheads Are NOT Coming to Get You. Hope to see you there!

Dickheads progress - Cover WIP

Hoo boy! It's been a flurry of activity here at the Safe House, Dickheads. Some updates!

Just finished colors on the last of the interior pages for the brand-new 24-page Dickheads adventure, "28 Minutes Later". Now I'm on to the cover! Here's a sneak peek at the inks!


I wanted something bold and in-your-face to contrast with the action-less nature of the characters. Kind of passive-aggressive -- just like the Dickheads! Fun Fact: the composition of the piece is based off of the poster for The Lost Boys. Now, Josh is no Jason Patric, but Jason Patric wouldn't look so hot with half of his face ripped off, would he?

Also, the pinups keep rolling in. Here's a WIP on a pinup from my good pal Rob Reilly, the creator of the upcoming comic mini-series, "A.K.A."! Here, Rob envisions Josh feeling a bit nostalgic about when he used to eat food of any kind. I like to call this piece, "In Memory of Meat".


Some pics of the process behind this piece can be found on Rob's blog.

We're fast approaching the first show on the Zombie Dickheads Fall tour, Nashville Comic and Horror Fest! I've been burning the midnight oil, as well at the morning, noon and evening oil getting the book together. After the cover comes lettering and book layout. I've got an IV hooked up for meals so I don't have to leave the old workstation, so I think I'm good!

Later,
Chris

Dickheads progress: The Quickening









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!

Zombie Dickheads pinup by Chris Herndon

Greetings fellow Dickheads,

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.
