Even More "Dick"!

Image Comics has released a 6-page preview of the new Hawaiian Dick series that I'm working on with B. Clay Moore. Pencils and inks are by yours truly, colours and letters by series co-creator Steven Griffin:








The series debuts in November, so start the countdown!

Hawaiian Dick Update

The first issue of the new Hawaiian Dick series lands in November, and just to prove that we are, in fact, intending to keep a monthly schedule, here's a sneak peek at some pencils from issue #3:

In the Media

The Annotated Northwest Passage got a review early this month in The Toronto Star. The author's main criticism of the book seems to be that it isn't Chester Brown's Louis Riel (which to me seems perfectly clear by simply glancing at the cover, and akin to criticizing oranges for not being grapefruit.) Still, it's some big-time mass media exposure for the book (The Star has the highest circulation in the country,) and the reviewer seems to have liked it well enough, so I'm thankful for it.

More recently, my new friend Rachelle Goguen interviewed me for her blog Living Between Wednesdays ahead of my appearance at Halifax's Word on the Street festival last weekend. It's a good interview, and covers lots of stuff, so go give it a read.

The Word on the Street!

For my last two appearances of the year, I'll be taking part in the Canada-wide Word on the Street literary festival. Thanks to their being held on different weekends this year, I'll be signing at both the Halifax (Sunday, September 23rd) and Toronto (Sunday, September 30th) festivals.

I'll also be giving brief presentations at both shows:

In Halifax, I'll be speaking on the subject of Historical Comics at 3:15pm on the Graphic Novels and Young Adult Readers Stage.

And in Toronto, I'll be on a panel called "Creating the Great Canadian Graphic Novel" which also features cartoonists Jeff Lemire (whose Tales from the Farm is a must-read) and Zach Worton. That's at 3:30pm in the Comics and Graphic Novels Tent.

Come out, enjoy the festival, and say hello!
