Get your Santa on, people!

The Salvation Army helps out HUNDREDS of THOUSANDS of people every year. Including bringing the simple joy of a toy to children. I just saw on the news that they are coming up short on donations. Orange County California alone is short 130,000 toys for kids who could use a smile on Christmas morning.

I know most sane people are going to want to avoid stores this weekend but if you ever woke up on Christmas morning and found that train set, remote controlled car, Easy Bake Oven, XBox, deluxe Barbie Dream House, Millenium Falcon, bicycle or ________ under the tree....well, you owe it to the universe to share that childhood joy with someone who needs it.

Go get a toy and make out a check (makes no difference how small either are) and find your local Salvation Army or Toys For Tots location or wherever...this time of year you should be able to find a charitable organization every time you turn around! No matter how tight things are, almost everyone is in a position to scrape up 10-15 bucks to help a kid. Go hassle a friend or two and everyone chip in 5 bucks!

As hokey as it sounds I know that doing it makes you feel great and it really does come back to you when you need it most. I know it's happened to me, I've stumbled into a helping hand when I needed it and I honestly believe that it is in part because of my own actions coming back around.

Go do it! Even if you don't celebrate Christmas...the religious or secular version...how can you not help out a kid who does? A simple toy and a good meal to let them know people care...how can you not want to be part of that?!? There are only a couple days left to Christmas but these organizations often keep running right up to Christmas, there's still time.

Consider this your ghostly visit from Christmas Past, Present and Future and get out there and do something.

More Holiday Happiness!

Got my digital Christmas card from Mahmud Asrar and thought I'd share it!

'Tis the Season

Let's talk Turkey!

Okay, since it's the holiday season here you might assume I'm going to talk dinner plans...but you're wrong!

I'm talking about the country Turkey! My graphic novel NOTHINGFACE was drawn by Yildiray Cinar who lives there. It also featured a pinup by Mahmud Asrar, also from Turkey. They BOTH have books currently solicited at Image! CHEERS TO THESE GUYS!!!!

CINAR takes over Noble Causes!
NOBLE CAUSES #28

Written by Jay Faerber, art by Yildiray Cinar, cover by Khary Randolph.

The daring plan to cure Kitty Blackthorne results in someone's death, which adds another layer to the feud between the Nobles and the Blackthornes.

32 pages, $3.50, in stores on March 21.


MAHMAUD helps launch Dynamo 5!!
DYNAMO 5 #1

Written by Jay Faerber, art by Mahmud Asrar, cover by Asrar and Ron Riley.

Captain Dynamo, the greatest super-hero in the world, was not the most faithful husband. Now he's dead and his family is trying to piece together their lives. As his enemies descend on his unprotected city, Captain Dynamo's widow rounds up his five illegitimate children, each of whom have inherited one of their father's super-powers. Can these total strangers come to terms with their powers, their father's legacy and each other as total chaos erupts? This new ongoing monthly series as Image Comics chronicles a super-hero team like no other -- Dynamo 5!

32 pages, $3.50, in stores on March 7.

(SIDE NOTE: There was actually a Turkish edition of NOTHINGFACE that did quite well! We were written up and I was interviewed by one of the big newspapers!)


THIS JUST IN...

BONG DAZO...illustrator of BLACK WATCH...landed himself a Marvel/DB Pro gig!

Black Watch art

Just time for a splash page from Issue 2 of
Black Watch by Bong Dazo and back to work.....


Oh, those pesky Nazis leaving their mutated and deformed failed genetic experiments laying about for unsuspecting British SAS troops to stumble into.

CLICK IT...IT'LL GET BIGGER>>>>>>>

One down...

Okay...just going to try and slap up a quick post when something gets done. That way people waiting on me can keep up with what's going on without me having to send out 10 emails a day to fill them in and beg for patience. ;)

Okay, Pistolfist #3 is finally done and sent off for approval. (That's the cover to #1 since I couldn't find the cover to #3) One more issue, I believe, and that books wraps up.

Also recieved the inked pages of Black Watch #2 from Bong. Few little things we might have to tweak but it's pretty much done. Some really bizzarre monster he came up with.

Okay, some Trailer Park of Terror and some Drunken Monkey and some Psychosis and some writing....and i think some other lettering that I'm not rembering off the top of my head...all coming up this week......
