More on 'Who is Killing the Great Capes of Heropa?"

Author Andrez Bergen is kicking a** with reviews and mentions on his upcoming book, and I must thank him for utilising my illustration pic for the promo so much. I'm very appreciative, considering the other renditions I've seen on Andrez's character.
The image for the book cover has been released, and it's very cool- fits in with the whole art deco/noir vibe of the story, and reminds me a great deal of my favourite animated Superman cartoons by the Fleischers.

Anyways, links below of some of the more recent press, otherwise, follow the labels below to take you to the original blog post. Awesome work, Andrez, and thank you again.

• Another unexpected very kind appearance on The Jack Kirby Museum website; thanks to Andrez Bergen and his upcoming novel 'Who is Killing the Great Capes of Heropa?' I'm very pleased he liked the image. http://kirbymuseum.org/blogs/kirby-vision/2013/01/09/great-capes/

• Tonight at 9:30pm Queensland (or 10:30pm daylight savings time), the Late Nite show have kindly including my interview from November in their 'Best of' episode. Watch online by going to http://www.qctv.com.au/ and click on the WATCH LIVE banner. "Get to da Choppaarh!"

• Still have a handful of 'Soldier Legacy' packs left on the Big cartel store- I have to thank those that are getting on-board with this little offer of mine, and I hope the new readers enjoy the series. All orders, including print orders, have been sent out. Keep an eye on the mail box. http://www.paulmason.bigcartel.com/

• Colouring *finally* complete on the back up story in the upcoming untitled 'Dr.Nikola/Soldier Legacy' one-shot. The story seems to now have a title, thanks to writer and co-plotter Chris Sequeira 'Lazarus Burne's Maleficent Seven'. Awesome :D Think: "The 'Dirty Harry' of Exorcists" and you'll get the idea.

That's it from me. Swamped with work to do, no richer or well off for it, just a misplaced hope that you readers will like this nonsense when I emerge, and not the usual social media silence I'm slowly getting use to. Just goes to show the lovely audience for the Soldier books are a very "face to face" or traditional brick and mortar comic shop type. I dig that :)

Also hoping the long-battling uni thesis actually takes some sort of shape- Frankenstein's monster of sorts, but a shape nevertheless.  Frantically putting together the slides for next week's SLQ comics workshops, and of course stressing about things that are out of my hands, including the suspected injured foot which is preventing my training for the World titles. 

Well, that and the computer/drawing board tag team of course. It would be weird to jog after work at 3am, right? :P Wouldn't even consider the notion. 

Anyways, back to the lonely coal mine.

p.s: Oh, hey! Congratulations to Tristan Jones, Greg Mclean, Gestalt, DiezelPunk and the whole team for 'Sebastian Hawks' getting to their crowd funding goal. All the best :D I believe you still have a day to place orders http://www.pozible.com/index.php/archive/index/11289/description/0/0

Etrigan Commission. You can't go past a request for a Jack Kirby character ;D

Thanks to Jason Garrattley of the awesome 'Kirby-Vision' blog for uploading it, via the Jack Kirby Museum and research centre. Stoked!

I try to make sure the image is still "readable" by knocking the lines out. Also, setting it to black and white to check values helps heaps. Still learning, still practicing, soldiering on :)

Thanks to the good people at 'Kirby-Vision' (Mr Garrattley), and the Jack Kirby Museum for posting up my 'Marvel 1962' anniversary image from the recent San Diego Comic-Con Souvenir book, and the DC Comic New 52 take on 'Superman vs. OMAC' (See Link above). The post also mentions 'The Soldier Legacy' and its nod to Jack Kirby's works in the 40's and 60's.
