MAY 8
From Joe Monks
MEDORS BATTLE
MIAMI, FL: When word got out that Runes of Ragnan/Willow Creek/ 30 Days of Night artist Josh Medors was battling cancer, it didn't take long for a lengthy list of comic industry heavyweights to join forces to help out. A massive charity auction has been organized by Image Comics and Frazetta Comics Editor/artist Jay Fotos.
"Josh is a good friend, father and artist. With the support from the comic industry that he loves so dearly, we can all help with costly medical bills and ease his pain just a little," said Fotos.
Among the star-studded list of donors whose work will be available are Frank Frazetta himself, Jerry Beck, Brian Haberlin, Mark Kidwell, Todd McFarlane, Nat Jones, Steve Niles, Ben Templesmith, Andrew Mangum, Jerry Ordway and dozens of others.
For the auction, comics writer-turned-director Joe Monks has teamed with artist Shane Smith on a one-of-a-kind item; a piece of production art from the upcoming screen adaptation of Monks' story 'WALKERS (originally published in the ROADKILLS chap book in 2003 and now being adapted to comics by Smith).
The production art is accompanied by a text piece, which tells part of the 'WALKERS story, in which a family of Americans and a lifelong friend cross paths with an ex-mercenary and a roving band of thugs on the wrong side of the Mexican border while trying to outrun a zombie plague. 'WALKERS is expected to go into production near year's-end.
If you are unable to attend the auction, PayPal donations can be made to Josh directly: jmedors1@insight.rr.com
The Josh Medors Benefit Auction will take place Saturday, May 10th at the Emerald City Comic Con, being held at the Washington State Convention & Trade Center in Seattle, WA.
Silent bids on pieces on display at the Con's official site can be sent to: medorsauction@emeraldcitycomicon.com

COMIC BOOK FESTIVAL
FeoNote: If you plan to be in the Los Angeles area April 6, you may want to know about the following -
Nuvein Foundation for the Literature and the Arts is holding a FREE comic book festival in the San Gabriel Valley on Sunday, April 6, 2008.
Comic book fans will get a chance to meet and buy books directly from independent comic book creators. The festival is being held by the Nuvein Foundation to promote the arts to the local community. The event is free to the public and all ages are welcome.
In addition to comic book creators and retailers exhibiting at the festival, there will be two free workshops where fans can learn techniques to write and draw comic books. The storytelling/drawing workshop will be taught by Rafael Navarro, creator of the comic book Sonambulo and currently a storyboard artist for The Spectacular Spider-Man. Rafael has recently won an Emmy Award for his work on Tutenstein. The writing workshop will be conducted by writer Mike Wellman of AtomicBasement.com and creator of Mac Afro. Both Mr. Navarro and Mr. Wellman are veterans of the comic book industry.
Also featured during the festival will be a live taping of the online talkshow, Planet Comic Book Radio hosted by Javier Hernandez. The hour long segment will feature interviews with the attending artists, with questions from the audience encouraged. The live show will be podcasted at a later date during Planet Comic Book Radio’s normal air time of Tuesday at 5pm. That episode, as well as the previous episodes, are available at PlanetComicBookRadio.com. In addition to hosting the radio talkshow, Javier Hernandez also writes and draws El Muerto, a comic book based on an Aztec mythology and the Mexican ‘Day of the Dead’. Javier also served as the Associate Producer of the live action film based on his comic book, starring Wilmer Valderrama and Tony Plana. In 2007, the film was released on DVD as "The Dead One". At the 2008 Whittier Film Festival, EL MUERTO won Best Feature.
Proceeds raised by the Nuvein Foundation go towards scholarships awarded to students of creative arts and arts program held to benefit local communities.

MARCH 10
From Arvid Nelson
MUNDI ON MONDAY
I cannot believe Rex Mundi has come this far. These issues were just gossamer fantasies when I first outlined Rex Mundi in 1999. I couldn't be happier to have Juan doing the art; right now he's drawing Issue 12 and it's going to be the best yet. I always say that, but it's always true!
And It's terrific having Scott Allie as an editor. Right now I'm writing the final six issues, and I have to admit I'm scared out of my mind. Will they live up to the image I've had burning inside me for so long? With Juan and Scott to help, I feel a lot more confident the ending is going to be absolutely epic.
Oh, and check out Juan's front cover for Issue 10, Dear Reader. It's one of his best, done in the style of Drew Struzan, the great Hollywood one-sheet artist. Sales of Rex Mundi trade paperbacks spiked dramatically on amazon.com the week #10 came out, and I have no doubt it's due to Juan's glorious cover. It's the best likeness of Julien yet! |
