Still digging out from Comic-Con (and Wizard Comic-Con is only 6 days away!!)...
I put a brief con recap on my DeviantArt journal, but there were a couple web updates today to share...
1) Pulp Girls (as well as Dan Mendoza's Zombie Tramp) got some love over on the Comic Monsters website, a cool destination if you dig horror, and comics, natch ;) Check that out HERE
2) WolvesofOdin.com debuts the new ongoing Wolves of Odin webcomic sequel to the SRG Presents: Wolves of Odin OGN from last November, starting today! Check out the updates HERE
Been real busy finishing up the Super Real graphic novel and final issue special, it's coming together very well... and also getting my new project, Pulp Girls, ready to debut at the big summer cons. Which brings me to...
I'll be exhibiting Super Real Graphics at booth 5331 in the independent publisher area at San Diego Comic-Con for the entire show, 7/22-7/26
That's right, this year I've moved over from small press, to a full booth (no promises for next year though)!!!
At the booth with me will be:
Dan Mendoza - artist - Super Real, Pulp Girls Dave Dwonch (Friday and Saturday) - creator - SRG Presents Gnome Grant Gould (Thursday-Sunday, first hour of each day) - creator - SRG Presents Wolves of Odin Jerry Gaylord (limited times) - artist - Super Real, Pulp Girls and maybe John (Super Ugly) Williams - cover artist - Gnome and G4TV SDCC correspondent... if we're lucky (for all you star fuckers out there!) ;)
And maybe some other folks, it'll be a bit of a revolving door of SRG friends.
Since the books aren't ready for the big show, I'm having a special offer for those who haven't already signed up for it with their shops (which I'll also offer for a limited time via the site for those who can't make the show). If you pre-pay for your copy of the book, you'll get:
The book shipped to you, free shipping A pre-sale only sketch plate, with an original character sketch And a free copy of either SRG Presents Gnome, or Wolves of Odin
My new project, that I've been developing over the last year, Pulp Girls, is debuting next week at San Diego Comic-Con!
But just what is Pulp Girls?
Well, besides being really cool and exciting, let me give you a better idea...
Pulp Girls is a collection of concepts - inspired from grindhouse cinema, pulp heroes, and similar genre roots - in small cliffhanger style format, all with a female-centric twist. In your face, fun, dangerous, colorful, short, and sweet.
GIRLS + WEAPONS x DANGER = PULP GIRLS
Ever since the release of the Grindhouse double-feature, there's been a shift in the pop-art/comic world, and a move to the more subversive genre fare that inspired that film. And while it didn't set any box office records, it's impact can be seen everywhere in comics, from the pulpy books on the rise, to the retro color effects and cover designs seen industry wide. Pulp Girls is a celebration of that spirit, taking it to another level. The artists, concepts, characters, and themes all share a similar drive, that provides for both unique stories and art, that also complement each other perfectly! Rock'n'roll midnight movie serials.
The project features many talented creators, from across the globe... England, Ireland, Germany, Norway, France, Mexico, and of course, the good ol' U S of A! Just to name a few.
We'll have a limited edition 2009 convention book that showcases the upcoming series available at the show, while supplies last.
The books are limited to 250 copies, and are an over-sized 8.5x11" perfect bound format, in full color, and feature 72 pages of Pulp Girls content!
They're $20 each (plus US shipping), come with a sketch, and you can pre-oder a limited number of them now if you can't make it to the show, right here via PayPal:
The 09 convention books have several of our complete serials, early versions of others, as well as some teasers, and pinups, in addition to an art section from our cover artist, the astonishing Bob Strang. It’s really like an art book with comics, and as such, the book will make a great addition to both your reading stack, and your bookshelf! We truly have some amazing artists, characters, and stories featured here.
Stay tuned to PulpGirls.com for more details on the developing project soon! There's much more on the way!!

In addition to that, I'll have the last of my 08 sketchbooks, new custom sketch cards to do sketch card commissions on, and also, I'll be giving one out with each purchase of my stuff with a quick head shot. Then we've also got all the upcoming publishing stuff... From the new Super Real Graphics Presents volume, The Wolves of Odin by creator Grant Gould, we'll have limited edition preview books. And the from my new project that I'm unveiling at the show, PULP GIRLS (a mix of exploitation cinema and pulp hero inspired concepts, created mostly by me, and featuring tons of cool artists, but all with a girl centric twist), I'll have limited to 100 copies preview books, featuring 3 covers. I'll also have a slew of prints for Pulp Girls too, including a limited to 25 edition print of Josh Howard's concept for the project, Stitches.
All this will be going on at space S16 in the small press pavilion, so please come by and say hello, pick up some stuff, or get a sketch!
If you can't make the show, most of the items are available directly from me/SRG, so just send me an email.
