When I’m not reading comics, I’m making comics. When I’m not making comics, I’m teaching comics. And my students are starting to get some attention for their work!

Greetings, Dear Comic Aficionados!
This coming Saturday, January 30, 2010, Writers Old Fashioned member STORM will be cavorting with an amazing group of comic book luminaries at Wicked Grounds for a Kinky Comics Carnival! Read about who will be there and what delightful works they have done below in an invitation from the lovely and talented Serena Valentino:

Don’t mind me, I’m just cleaning off the dust around the ‘ol Writer’s Old Fashioned HQ for the new year. 2009 was a pretty good year for the gang, culminating with APE 2009 in October. STORM’s Princess Witch Boy was definitely the buzz book of the show. The demand seemed to grow exponentially as people would buy PWB, tell their friends, and cause a mad rush on our booth. From what I hear, STORM is totally sold out of the first printing of PWB. But don’t worry, a second printing is on it’s way so there will be copies on hand at Wondercon (along with PWB #2).
Stephenny Godfrey’s Panorama was also a big hit, totally selling out by the second day of APE! All of Writer’s Old Fashioned had a great time at the booth. We chatted with fans, other creators, and drank like fishes the entire time. STORM and Emily Stackhouse were both interviewed by Sara Lima at ComicVine and thanks to the glory of the Internet you can watch the full thing here.
STORM also has an amazing recap of the whole event at his blog.
That’s about all I have for now, True Believers. The Writer’s Old Fashioned crew really worked hard in the tumultuous year of 2009, and the stage is set for some very exciting developments in 2010. Expect to see new books and minis from several of our members this year, and some more updates to this space as we develop our collective writing muscles to their prime.
Catch you soon!
