Author and columnist Mike San Giacomo is running a piece on my comic book Franklinstein, this Saturday, February 6 in The Cleveland Plain Dealer. Franklinstein asks the question, "What if Benjamin Franklin, not Victor Frankenstein, created a monster? ". This fictional tale is loosely based off a very little known historical fact, but I don't want to spoil all the surprises just yet! So check it out if you get a chance, and kids, don't forget to the bring the Silly Puddy!

The Raynman Power Hour !

2010-01-20T08:31:00.001-05:00

It's not officially-official just yet, but an exciting new announcement, and a few new major developments, are coming soon for Penny Dreadful Press. I've been keeping a low profile since Genghis Con, but I promise I will be updating more often in the coming months. That being said, I want to take a moment just to thank everyone who has played a part in supporting us, especially those who go out of their way to get the word out on Penny Dreadful press. One of the greatest PDP Champions of all, my good friend Bill Gladman, and friend (and fantastic interviewer) Frank Raynor, had some really flattering things to say about me recently.

http://comicrelated.com/news/4789/raynman-power-hour-5

Their show is called The Raynman Power Hour, and it's just about the coolest podcast going. I'm honored they took the time to throw a spotlight on us, and each and every show they do, just gets better and better. You can't fake that kind of chemistry, and The Raynmen consistently deliver. If your reading this, and I know you are, click on the link above. You won't regret it!

Another review

2009-06-17T11:21:00.002-05:00

Alex Haas was kind enough offer his two cents on The Faustians #1 and Gothic Romance #1, combining both issue's into one review. It's not the most favorable review PDP has recieved to date, but I thank Alex for taking the time to give the books a look.

My youtube debut with UVN

2009-04-23T09:16:00.000-05:00

Underground Video Network interviewed me at The Gem City Comic Con.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DSJqrujezS8

I did my best to keep my cool, but I was nervous as hell. lol
Still- I had a lot of fun, and got to plug Franklinstein!

Thanks guys! You rock!

My podcast Interview with Comic Related

2009-04-23T08:28:00.003-05:00

Bill Gladman was kind enough to sit down and interview me at Gem City '09.

He also speaks to Kevin Hicks, Sean Forney, Don Kramer and Mr. Comic Related himself-Chuck Moore -about his new awesome comic Killer Robots Love You

http://comicrelated.com/display.php?item=1230&story=The%20Related%20Recap%20#113

Hey Mom! I come in around 24:30! ; )

PDP @ SPACE/April 18 & 19

2009-04-08T07:11:00.002-05:00

Gem City was a blast! Those Daytonians really know how to get the job done!

I'd like to thank everyone who stopped by the table and picked up a book or two, or just shot over to say hello. As always, my warmest regards to my friend's Bill Gladman and Chuck Moore over at Comic Related- thanks again for always being there for us Indy guys!

http://www.comicrelated.com/

The SPACE Con in Columbus is right around the corner, and Penny Dreadful Press will be there in full force! Bob Corby runs a great show, and I feel very fortunate to be a part of this fantastic convention!

http://www.backporchcomics.com/space.htm

I'm pretty sure just about everyone involved with our new comic Franklinstein will be there at various locations; sequential artist Paul Shultz, Dave Watt, Jon Hodges, Jay Fife, and myself. The only one who's missing is letterer Jason Arthur, but I'd like to take a moment to mention him anyway. His contributions to Penny Dreadful's strength can never be overlooked, or underestimated.

http://www.badplaceproductions.com/

http://www.geocities.com/space_lord68/studio831homepage.html

http://vcsletterers.blogspot.com/2007/07/jason-arthur.html

We still have a few copies left of the Franklinstein/Jay Fife sketch cover from Gem City, so if your going to SPACE, get 'em while you can! If you've seen Jay's work, I don't need to tell you that this guy is unbelievably talented.

http://www.jayfife.com/

We will also have two brand new ashcans!! One of which, will be our Franklinstein/Dave Watt/SPACE cover edition. Whoot!

http://www.myspace.com/batsforsupper

I'm floored by the kind response I've received for Franklinstein by one person in particular. His opinion means a whole lot to me, so to wake up and read these words...wow. Just wow! Thanks Bill!

http://www.comicrelated.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=4385

USPOLL (Uncle Samson and the Phantoms of Lost Liberty) is the other new ashcan. It's been a long time coming, but I finally have the opportunity to introduce a preview of PDP's first super-hero book! USPOLL will feature my costumed creations illustrated by a number of uber-talented creators, like Rudy Vasquez, and the man himself- Jim Sullivan! Yesssssssssssss!!!!!!

http://rudyvasquez.deviantart.com/

No link on Jim, but if he makes it out to the show, ask to see his art. He's kicking ass, and taking names brothers and sisters!

Shameless self promotion aside, I cannot wait to see what everyone brings to this show! Comic books are very much alive, and some of the greatest books of our era are yet to come. Yep. That's right! Our era!

The Age of the Independents is upon us!

Bad Place Productions

2008-12-24T20:59:00.003-05:00

Now that I've had a chance to mention my interview at comicrelated.com, not to mention my good friends Bill Gladman, and Chuck Moore, I'd like to take a moment to focus on another individual who's just as important to PDP.

Jon Hodges is a talented guy, and one hell of a writer. He knows the buisness of comics, and knows some of the best, and brightest talents around. He is the publisher of Bad Place Productions, and I'm confident that Bad Place is a name you'll be seeing a lot more of in the next couple of years. Want proof? Visit Jon at the Official Bad Place site!

comicrelated.com Interview

2008-12-24T19:23:00.004-05:00

I was recently interviewed by Bill Gladman over at Chuck Moore's Comic Related. It's a great site, filled with great people, and it's home to some of the best Indy Comic creators under that single star we call The Sun. I'm honored to have my forum there, and to be a part of the Comic Related family. Stop by and check out the interview, then give the site a few moments of your time. If you love comics like I know you do, you'll love the site!
