Happy New Year everybody!

RASL vol.one: The Drift hits store shelves on Wed. Jan.7! It’s big (9 "x 12"), and it has a new scene that was not in the original comic books.

I also wanted to let you know that there is a great interview about all the real and fringe science that appears in RASL over on the Pulse website and you can read it here.

We’re very excited to announce that RASL volume one: The Drift is shipping this week!

To prepare for the release of the first RASL trade collection, Jeff gave an interview to Jennifer Contino over at the Pulse. You can read it here. It’s all about the inspirations for the characters and the wild science behind the story!

I just stumbled across this on YouTube last night. It’s an interview I did with  Alyssa Huang last Spring while at the ALA BookExpo. I mentioned it in my blog at the time, but I lost my notes that had the little girl’s name and that she was with Ideas in Writing Kid’s Club. I never saw the finished piece after that. Anyway, here it is, and I am a bad subject. I inadvertently throw my interviewer off just as the showroom starts to shut down. It’s pretty adorable…

I was  in a favorite watering hole here in Columbus last night when who walked in and ordered a martini?

Well, to be fair, he does have a busy day tomorrow.

Merry Christmas, everyone!

Be of good cheer!

Joe Field from Flying Colors Comics has posted some photos from the signing I did there earlier this month.

The event was part of a fund-raiser for the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund. It was a lot of fun and a lot of people turned up. I signed noon to 4 - - straight! People came from as far a way as San Diego!

In the picture above are two comic fans (with, as you can see, very good taste!) named Paul and Ronna. You can see more of Joe’s pics on his blog by clicking here.

Thanks to Joe & Libby for taking such great care of me while I was in town. ( it was Libby’s birthday and the family included me in their dinner celebrations!)

Below are a few shots from my iPhone; among them: a penciled script page by Carl Barks that a reader brought in to show me, and someone’s Halloween costume from this year!
