since we last spoke…

Aw, can it really have been six months? They grow up so fast and before you know it they’re out in the world on their own. Probably shacked up with that mouthy girl from the rough side of town. No, wait – I was talking about Red Herring, the conspiracy caper book by David Tischman and myself, the final issue of which hit the streets just a few weeks back. The man at Wildstorm says there’s a chance we might see the six issues collected in single book one day, but try to grab the originals and you’ll be able to spoil the ending for the latecomers.

Also out now, issue 50 of Brian Wood’s DMZ. I get to contribute a page to this collection of "Notes From The Underground" alongside real proper artists like Fabio Moon, Dave Gibbons, Eduardo Risso, Ryan Kelly and etcetera and etcetera

Up next - Marvel’s Prelude To Deadpool Corps event has an issue for each week of March and I get to draw part 3, Dogpool. Watch as I slowly overcome my dread fear of drawing dogs.

Bonus feature: Douglas Coupland for the wonderful Hey, Oscar Wilde! It’s Clobberin’ Time!

from your san diego correspondent…

The wheres and the whens of the San Diego con:

Bond, Tischman and Hahn will be signing your bootlegged prerelease copies of Red Herring at the DC / Wildstorm booth at the following times -
Thursday 4:00 – 5:00
Friday 11:00 – 12:00
Saturday 2:00 – 3:00

We’ll also be showing previews and telling the long and convoluted story of how Red Herring came about and where it’s going on the Wildstorm panel at 3:30 on Saturday.

Don’t forget at most other times I’m at table CC-04 in Artists Alley.

Congratulations, Mr. Bond. It’s A Book..

Ah, the pitter patter of tiny page turns. It’s been a long, long labour but the new series Red Herring will debut August 12th from Wildstorm. An off-beam conspiracy is ripped apart by a convoluted caper over six issues by David Tischman and myself, with the aid of workhorse David Hahn and the lush Guy Major. Tischman deftly dances the line between explaining more and giving away everything in this CBR interview.

Also… California here I come. I’ll be back at the San Diego Comic Con next week manning an Artists Alley table again. If you’re going to be there stop and say hello to table CC-04 where there’ll be a whole bunch of original art for sale as well as some of those posters from last year. I’ll be taking on a very limited number of commissions over the week too so if that’s what you’re after come early and don’t ask me to draw a horse.

More news from the floor soon. As and when, you know how it goes.
