Tomorrow (29th July) sees the publication of a Grindhouse graphic novel from Dark Horse. Amongst its contents are two of the pages I did for the comic; Kung-Fu Cheesecake and Snowmanic!
I'm proud to be part of such a fantastic collection and had a blast creating those one-off comic horror characters for the comic. If you haven't already read the stories in the monthly comic I hope you'll buy the book. Heck, buy it even if you already have the comics. It's such a great book.
You can find out more about it on my other blog here:

The days of newsagents stocking American comics are long gone so I nipped into the nearest city today to pick up a copy of Grindhouse: Drive In, Bleed Out No.2 from Forbidden Planet as it features my Snowmanic strip on the back cover. As the TV announcers say, "it might contain scenes that some viewers find upsetting" so I've indulged in a bit of self-censorship in the section I've shown above.
To see the full, uncensored version in all its daft demonic horror, get a copy from your local comic speciality store for $3.99 (about £3.00 in UK comic shops). It's also available to buy in digital format on the Dark Horse App.
Here's the front cover to look out for by R.M.Guéra...

By the way, if you follow Blimey!, my other blog, you might be interested in a blast from the past I've scheduled to go live there on Christmas Day.

Merry Christmas!
Christmas Eve will see Dark Horse publish the second issue of Grindhouse: Drive In, Bleed Out. The main story is Slay Ride Part Two, written by Alex De Campi and drawn by R.M. Guera. You can read a preview of the first few pages here:

...and on the back page of the issue is another one-off strip by me. This time it's a seasonal shocker I've called Snowmanic! featuring a snowman to give you nightmares. That's him at the top of this post. To reveal more would ruin the story, so be sure to pick up Grindhouse: Drive In, Bleed Out No.2 this Wednesday from a comic speciality store near you! All-new winter horror for just $3.99.
Here's the cover to look out for, illustrated by R.M. Guera...
