Cavemen in Space!

FLUKE is next month, and I'll be there! Of course, I will have copies of The Ride Home and Tales of Unusual Circumstance for sale. Unfortunately, the Tales book pretty much makes it pointless to reprint my old minis, so those will no longer be for sale. This sort of clashes with the fact that FLUKE is a mini-comics show, but I have some news that might make up for it...

Debuting at this wonderful little show will be my Cavemen in Space mini-comic! The CiS mini is a full-color 12 page comic that gives an introduction to my next graphic novel of the same name! This story will not be in the graphic novel, but serves as an introduction to the characters and motifs that will appear in the final book. This mini will be exclusively sold at the conventions that I visit this year. It is not available for mail order, and whether or not I will continue to bring it with me to conventions post-SPX '08 is yet to be determined!

If that doesn't get your collectors' fires burning, there is one more fun little tidbit! I am a child of the 90's after all, so I'm somewhat tickled to announce that the Cavemen in Space mini will have 3 variant covers:

Cover A - All Star Chart (front & back)

Cover B - All SPACE (front & back)

Cover C - Mixed (SPACE front & Star Chart back)

Exciting, eh? The inside content is the same, so I don't recommend buying all 3. However, I think the choice makes it a bit more fun!

Talking with Tim

I was recently interviewed by Tim O'Shea of the pop culture blog, Talking with Tim. Tim's a great interviewer, and we went pretty much everywhere from The Ride Home to my new Tales collection and beyond!

Take a minute to read it for some insight into my previously published work, as well as some new info on my contribution to a future volume of Flight, and to David Yoder's Elephano anthology!

Tales for Sale

My first shipment of Tales of Unusual Circumstance books has arrived!

Anyone who would like to purchase a copy directly from me is welcome to contact me by e-mail. The books are $10 each plus $2 for book rate, $5 for priority, or $10 for international shipping. I will also sign them if requested!

I'll also be selling them at FLUKE, MoCCA, and SPX this year. So, if you're able to make it to one of those fine shows, I'll see you there!

Welcome to the New Tragic Planet!

Hello and welcome to the new and improved Tragic Planet!

More news to come soon, but for the moment take a look around! If you're afraid you missed anything, I still have a link to my 2004 - 2007 (which actually includes Feb. '08) News Archives at the sidebar to your right. And if you're nostalgic for some of my older Art & Stories that I did not repost on the new design, there are links to them as well under the "Comics" and "Illustration" sections.

Just a reminder, my new book, Tales of Unusual Circumstance, is now available! More info on that can be read here.
