Hey there sports fans, Al here with the latest:
ECCC is fast approaching this next week but the creative juices are still flowing like mad for the box!
Down below is an excerpt from the Johnny Vega, Man of the Future entitled "All Tomorrow's Parties". It is a book that takes place even before Johnny Vega issue #1 is to take place.
One of my editors had said to me that I needed to have a origin story for Vega so I initially opted to present "It was a dark and stormy night..." but the beginning starts off like that but takes several turns why Vega looks at becoming a Ranger in the first place and what on earth happened to him in issue 4?
Once that book is in hand I will reveal why I, Alan, decided to change up the character.
More of Vega’s past is reveled as a collection will be put together with refurbished pages from the last three issues of Vega that are currently out now. Once that is done more things will come into play.
THE PORTLAND “LOVE” SHOW COMES TO AND END.
Tonight the last day of the Portland Love Show comes to an end for show casing the scratchboard talent of your truly. But there are other works in progress that cross over from one form of artwork to the next. Namely more Corpse Cop!
TALE OF TWO JO(H)NNYS
This particular story is revving up as ECCC comes into light. Once back from the show all my attention will be focused on getting this book put together and printed up.
