‘Beards of our Forefathers’ press coverage

Here is some press coverage about my upcoming book, Beards of our Forefathers: an article at Publishers Weekly, another at some other site, and the official Dark Horse press release.

Also, to answer some readers’ questions about the book: I’m encouraging Amazon pre-orders now, but I will also have signed copies available for purchase directly from my store once it comes out in the summer. Anyone who buys the book via Amazon or their local bookstore will also be able to, if they like, send me their copy for signature/personalization.

While I’m posting articles, here’s another (very favorable) review of a short story I had featured in Pseudopod recently. The mention of my story, “Fever,” is near the bottom of the page.

Interview: Half Hour Wasted

A podcast called “Half Hour Wasted” interviewed me at the STAPLE! show a few weeks ago! Here’s the episode — the bit with me starts at 24:50. I don’t say much that’s news to the dedicated Wondermark fan (“Wonderian”? “Marker”? “Marki”?); I should really start making up wildly divergent answers to interview questions in the future.

Check out: ‘How to Make Webcomics’

The long-awaited How to Make Webcomics book from the Halfpixel guys is finally out! I got my copy yesterday and it’s a chunky brick o’ love: equally pressed, condensed wood pulp AND pressed, condensed comics brilliance. It’s available from Dave, Kris, Brad, or Scott, and since they split the profits you can just pick the dude closest to you: L.A., Texas, Philly or Cairo.

STAPLE! panel discussion

If you missed the most-excellent panel discussion at STAPLE! last weekend, you can sit in your room and cry, or you can watch the video! Either way. (There are a couple of swearies in it, I guess I should warn you. But not many.)

I’m screening Expendable today in Ogden, Utah at the Foursite Film Festival. Everyone in Utah is nice, and upon learning that I’m from Los Angeles, they inevitably tell me that “it’s a lot colder here than in L.A.!” YES THANK YOU I NOTICED
