NEW 'RETRO' HORROR COMIC PREVIEW ART

[jpaulos-migration]

Hi all,

I'm an amateur artist trying to promote my latest indie title called 'EEEK!', a loving nod to the fave horror comics/artists of my youth. I'm not sure if this is the right place to put this, but I've been lurking for a while enjoying the covers/art posted here and couldn't resist plugging my own. Apologies if this is not OK. 'EEEK!' is available online only alongside my other titles at http://www.Lulu.com/RatRace

Thanks!

Great stuff, Jason. Very nostalgiac art.

[jpaulos-migration]

Thanks very much ... and yes, I like the old stuff! Alcala, Wrightson, Wood, etc etc !!! These artist found there way to Australia courtesy of local black and white reprint editions ... still relatively cheap and easy to find. I almost made it into 'DOOMED', but unfortunately the title proved prophetic!!!

Yep, looks pretty sweet. Great to see this sort of book back on the market.

[Jayman]

Wow, great stuff! Are you doing all the artwork yourself?

 

and Welcome to the Boards!

[chrisco37]

Very cool!

[nickwire]

are you selling art? commissions? really great stuff

[jpaulos-migration]

Wow guys, I never expected so many replies so quickly ... I'm truly humbled!

 

Comicseeker : Thanks, I'll go read it now!

 

Timulty : I wish it WAS on the market. I'd like to make it into comic shops again one day. I'm planning to shop around a trade of the first 4 issues later this year, time permitting ...

 

Jayman : Ha, yes the artwork is all mine! I've been drawing comics since 1989, mostly out of necessity and lack of professional opportunities in Australia.

 

chrisco37 : Thank you, you're too kind!

 

nickwire : I've never given it much thought ... all my art these days is digital. I'm flattered by the inquiry though!

 

Thanks again for the warm welcome guys ... for previews of the first 2 issues of 'EEEK!' see my site http://www.HairbuttTheHippo.com (follow Jason Paulos link)

Great stuff - really has that DC Bronze Age look to it.

Super Eerie #2 back cover tribute!

Very very impressive!

[shiverbones]

Beautiful stuff! Nice to see it being done right!

Stunning. Amazing work.

 

A bit on the pricy side to order especially when shipping the the UK is factored in although I was still very tempted due to the quality. I have ordered from Comixpress before but not from Lulu.

[comicseekers-migration]

Just ordered 2 of each....could you please let me know when future issues of EEkk will be released and where I can purchase them

Thanks again everybody for the support and the sales! (especially the sales!) Lulu books are brilliant quality (I haven't seen the Comixpress product but I'm told Lulu is a slicker product) but uneconomical for 32 page books. For this reason my cut of the 32 pagers is zero, otherwise the price would be ridiculous. On the other hand, my books sell EXTREMELY low numbers, so they're genuine collectors items (sorry, couldn't resist that comment!)

Lulus TPB's however, are very affordable so I wouldn't blame you guys for waiting until issue 4 is finished. I'll be releasing issue 3 for sale as soon as my 'proof' copy arrives (a week or so away). For those who REALLY like this stuff the regular issues will include covers, pinups that I won't put in the TPB version. Also, these are on slick paper with a higher quality image (smoother tones, glossier blacks etc) to the tpb versions.

Sorry if this seems confusing! If I had my way it would be printed using blood on authentic aged yellow newsprint, but there ya go.

Thanks again, I'll stop by again soon, I'd love to know what you think of Lulus service, I haven't heard manu complaints thus far. Its not a perfect system, but without it people like me would not be able to sell their work to people like you.

 

Cheers!

Heres some recent work from the upcoming 4th issue. This is the only out and out 'big foot' story in the series, but even my straighter horror stories have elemnts of humour, something I find missing from modern horror.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Enjoy and thanks again.

What about issue #3? I purchased Issues 1 and 2.......

[jpaulos-migration]

Probably in a week or so ... I'll post an announcement when I receive my proof copy and I check it for spelling mistakes (there's ALWAYS one, even when I've checked it!).
