random wierdness from the life of a comic book colorist

New KISS comic book coming in May!

Whew...a bit behind the times it seems. The news of legendary rock band KISS returning to comics with a new book, a new comic division, and a partnership with Platinum Studios seems to have broken last week. I of course have been locked away in my studio the majority of the past week working on a plethora of other projects, and trying to wrap up a few of them shortly here.   So, without further ado, I can now officially mention that I will be the colorist on the new KISS 4K comic book.  The comic hits in May, regular sized for 3.99 (32-40 pages so a bit longer than your standard comic) BUT, the BIGGEST news is that at Wizard World LA, which I will also be attending, KISS will be debuting the book as a collectors item, Guiness World Record breaking largest comic EVER.  30 inches high by 18 inches wide, the Destroyer edition of the book, will also featured some AMAZING painted pages by the talened Kevin Crossley.  Here's a sneak peek at one of the promo images being released which I colored Starchild for.

now, back to coloring my butt off. I've got a bunch of RPG cards to color, and a few to do all the artwork on as well in the next couple of weeks. Important news to come as it unfolds (like when we finally get our basement at a point where it can be called complete....looking forward to getting that 8 foot slab of slate set up and playing some pool before too long here)

Jarmo.  yeah, the first book is in the bag.  second book is well underway and Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley will be at Wizard World LA this coming weekend to unveil the Destroyer edition of the comic, and there will be a Guiness world record ceremony that weekend as well to induct the book into the GBofWR as the largest print comic ever.  I'll also be there of course on hand to debut my OTHER book Hero By Night.  If you're in the states, and in Cali in particular, see if you can't make it out to pick up a copy.  Noticing that you posted this almost a month ago, I feel bad, but I've been underground working my tail off on this and other upcoming books. You can also order the books online if you look around at different sites I'm sure, or just go to kisscomicsgroup.com and see if you can pick one up there.  take care,
