UPDATED - NEW RELEASE: THIS SICKNESS #8 Available at Amazon RIGHT NOW!
A very special issue of THIS SICKNESS. Far more an anthology than ever before, bigger, bolder, deadlier and not just comics anymore! Here is me looking ever so dignified alongside it.
THIS SICKNESS #8 NOW OUT ON AMAZON!
In print and Kindle. (and at Createspace) Buy many now!
Two new things:
1) It's on the Matchbook program, which means if you buy the print version(and you really should, it's beautiful) you can get the Kindle for $2.99.
2) If you're a retailer, this is now offered wholesale through Createspace Direct, which means if you like it can be in YOUR STORE. Bother your local book or comic store owner to order it today!
And what's in it? Well, it's not just the vehicle for my work anymore. I didn't mean for issue 8 to have exactly 8 creators, but that's what happened. (I didn't notice till I was assembling it)

First, a gorgeous cover by Molly Kiely. It's a portrait of Stefania Casini, who was the basis
for the design of my Lulu, as you've heard far too many times. This issue is dedicated to this great lady of
international cinema.
100 pages thick in black & white and, for the first time, quite a lot IN COLOR! And if I might say so, it printed quite beautifully and brilliantly. Createspace does a good job.
Insides include:
Almost 60 pages of comics by myself, including of course, the new LULU...
...the return
of UNCLE CYRUS to print--last seen in PLASTIC in 2001...
The debut on paper, in full glowing color, of SUZY SPREADWELL...
And my wordless version of "Strange Fruit" from GRAPHIC CANON 3.
27 pages of artwork by Emily Kaplan (in the first extensive collection of her magnificent and numerous paintings);
Poetry by Chad Parenteau;
A new short story by Chris Dewildt(with an illo by me);
Illustrations by newcomer Gianna Ratto...
As well as a new cartoon written by Charles Alverson (Jabberwocky, Brazil, Story of OH!) and drawn by me--our first work together since 2008.
And a back cover (and a painting inside as well) by painter Duong Thi Phuong Hang.
This book is gorgeous and years in the making. Get your copy today!
