Description
A pin up for my soon-to-be-released graphic novel, Zombies Calling. It'll be out in November, and is currently featured in this month's Previews magazine (a full page ad!), code number SEP07 3317Please ask your comic shop to get it in!
You can also pre-order it on Amazon here (I've provided the amazon.ca link, but you can also get it on .com and .co.uk):

d_bbs_sr_1/702-2982978-9113633?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1190652605&sr=8-1Seriously guys, if you like my art or comics, PLEASE support me and buy this book. I've been slaving on it since January (while doing a fulltime job), and I loved doing it, so please support me so I can continue to do happy indie comics. Plus, I think it's a pretty good book, and it's only $10, so how can you go wrong?
It has everything comic readers like: fight scenes, comedy, sarcasm, zombies, girls in bed together... what's not to like?
EDIT: Just editing to point people to a ZC preview, pages 6-15 of the comic, so you can see what you'll be paying $10 for! [link]

Well, to give you some evolution-of-the-comic history, there was supposed to be a running gag about the dark haired girl in the picture (Sonnet) having a crush on the pink haired girl (Joss), much to Sonnet's horror (Joss, to put it mildly, is a dork, and should not be attracting crushes from exotic gothic types). Unfortunately, the only scene which made this obvious got cut from the comic due to space, so whatever lesbianism leftover is rather nebulous. But they do end up in bed together for one night.
Anyway, the whole thing kind of came out of people responding well to the sexual abigiousness of a pair of characters in my online comic, Demonology 101. I dig it when people 'ship my characters. Makes me think I'm doing something right.

I'll do my best to get a copy whenever I can. X3
I haven't visited your site in a while btw, but incase you havent.. I've always thought D101 would have made a good published work. -Nods- o.o Last time I checked, it was always just an online story. Would've been nice to have a book form of it.

I talked to them today, actually, and they're keen on having a book launch. The owner even suggested offering a discount if you came dressed as a zombie.

The Strange Adventures crew are absolutely the best. Ever. Of all time. They have ruined all other comic shops for me.

Toronto. Oh man, there's one in Ottawa?? 8C ...i didn't know it was that cool there....

Well, it was really small compared to the Toronto one... but that doesn't mean it was bad. Sometimes small stores are great.

yay its back ♥♥ I'm buying this even though, im not working, just because its only ten bucks and i loved what i saw so far on the comic, on your site
Did you redo the pages for the first few chapters? I remember you mentioned you might do that, or was i mistaken?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I re-did the first 15 pages. The original 15 were quite old. I recently posted a preview of pages 6-15, which you can see here: [link]

This image immediately reminded me of the movie "Shawn of the Dead." If you've not seen it, you should try to find it on video. Hilarious.
Thanks for the heads up on your book, I'll head over to Amazon now.

I saw that in the theatre, actually. I drew the first incarnation of ZC back in ... 2004, I think, and someone posted a comment about Shaun of the Dead, which made me kind of sad, because I thought I was being so original with my parody Brit-obsessed comic. Anyway, Shaun was okay, though not as good as I thought it would be. I liked Hot Fuzz better.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well, it's not important that the movie came out first--what's important is that you came up with your own original story about nutty Brits and zombies.
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
Great stuff! My only crit would be that you should maybe not mirror it on both sides and actually draw some more zombies!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, I got a bit lazy on the zombies, but I'm really swamped right now. I wanted to get this out quick, to remind people it was happening. I'll draw more zombies if I have time.
