A paperback collected edition of our 2009 miniseries The Trial of Sherlock Holmes drawn by Aaron Campbell, coloured by Tony Avina, lettered by Simon Bowland and with covers by John Cassaday is out now.
Just like the hardcover, the book is crammed with extras including an afterword by world renowned Holmes and Dracula scholar Leslie S. Klinger,… Read the rest
A quelques jours de la sortie simultanée du film de Tim Burton et du 1er tome chez Soleil US Comics, Cable’s Chronicles a contacté Leah Moore et John Reppion, les auteurs de l’adaptation d’Alice au Pays des Merveilles chez Dynamite, afin d’en apprendre un peu plus sur ces deux artistes encore peu connus en France. Très sympathiques, ils ont acceptés de répondre à quelques petites questions sur leur travail sur l’héroïne créée par Lewis Caroll…

With The Complete Alice in Wonderland #1 now available worldwide, we were interviewed by those lovely chaps over at Newsarama about our thoughts on the series and on Carroll’s original work.
Also, another nice review of #1 over at CBR
In preparation for The Complete Alice in Wonderland #1 (preview pages on CBR) arriving in shops this week we were given a bit of a grilling about the series by that fine gentleman Mr. Edward Kaye.
The resulting sense and nonsense can now be read online at www.hypergeek.ca
There is also a rather pleasing early review of #1 over on www.brokenfrontier.com

Crikey! is the only magazine devoted to British comics, and let’s face it, there have been very few precedents, so I hope all readers of this blog will support it so that it can continue to thrive. Remember, Crikey! doesn’t have the backing of a major publisher behind it so it’s up to us to keep such independent publications alive.

An interview with us talking about The Complete Alice in Wonderland has just been posted over on Comic Book Resources.
Better yet, there are also some preview pages showing at last just how amazing Erica Awano’s artwork for this series really is.
Adam Christopher is a New Zealand-born SF writer living in the sunny north of England. Writing Habits is an ongoing weekly series of micro-interviews with writers and creators, providing a look at how worlds of fiction are constructed on a practical, day-by-day basis.
This week it was our turn.
The second part of our interview with Matt Badham (the first part of which appeared in Judge Dredd Megazine #283) is now online at www.downthetubes.net. Go and read it if you fancy it.
Redeye Magazine has been around since 2003 and was considered by many to be the ultimate UK indie ‘zine for news, reviews, interviews, etc. Sadly, things had been a bit quiet on the publication front since 2007′s #6 and many may have feared the demise of this fine publication. It therefore gives me great pleasure to report that the ‘zine has just been relaunched as a digital edition.
The future of comics begins with REDEYE 2.1, a pdf-only monthly magazine with all the news, reviews, features and stuff worth talking about, including:
Interviews with Leah Moore and John Reppion on The Complete Dracula and The Trial of Sherlock Holmes with artists Colton Worley and Aaron Campbell; Cartoonist and festival organiser Oliver Smith talks about throwing out the rule book for the small press and building something better; New York born and raised illustrator Liz Baillie discusses her comics, her love for the Bouncing Souls and her Jabba the Hutt face; Ben Dickson talks to Garen Ewing about Rainbow Orchid blossoming under a new deal with publisher Egmont; Northern Irish illustrator Bridgeen Gillespie talks about curious rabbits, hissy fits and being open to interpretation; and as part of his 100 Days, 100 Cartoonists series, Citizen Badham talks to creators Adam Cadwell and Jim Medway about unconventional narratives, the value of the everyday and deflated balloons.Plus a THE SECRET HISTORY OF… IRISH COMIX, as Niall Kitson uncovers the growing Irish Comics scene ready for the international stage, and a report on the long awaited LUC@176 event.
114 full colour pages of intelligent, well written, and informative comics journalism for just £1.00/$1.50/€1.00. That really is a bargain. Yes we’re in it but we’d honestly be recommending it just as highly if we weren’t. So get over to www.enginecomics.co.uk/redeye/ and download a copy now!
Who could have predicted that following the great zombie panic of 2007/2008 (during which we did our best to spread the infection with Raise the Dead) vampires would become the monster du jour of 2009? Well, luckily for us, we (or at least Dynamite Entertainment) sort of did.
It’s thanks to that kind of eerie forward planning that we find ourselves interviewed about The Complete Dracula in the pages of the brand new SFX Magazine Vampire Special alongside the likes of James (Spike) Marsters, Anita Blake author Laurell K Hamilton, Let the Right One In director Tomas Alfredson and many, many other bloodsucker related folks.
As you’d expect the special is also packed with Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Twilight realted features and goodies (including posters and drinks coasters) as well as a pocket sized book of the 1819 novella The Vampyre and Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu’s Carmilla – two stories that are believed to have influenced Bram Stoker’s Dracula.
It’s nice to be “on trend” with TCD but I think it might also be worth mentioning that we did write another vampire book not so long ago. The Darkness vs. Eva – Daughter of Dracula was a 4 issue Dynamite/Top Cow series published between March and June 2008 with art by the fantastic Edgar (Project Superpowers) Salazar.
The series sees Darkness wielder and mob boss Jackie Estacado having a bit of a problem with an influx of vampires, werewolves and other supernatural nasties into his city. One of these visitors just happens to be Graf Von Orlock – an ancient vampire with a plan to gain the upper hand over the mortals. Meanwhile Eva Tepes – Daughter of Dracula, sucked through time and stranded in modern day USA, is busy doing what she does best: slaying evil wherever she finds it. When Eva interrupts a ritual Jackie finds that his control of The Darkness is slipping – just what he needs when vampires have decided to take a bite out of his business.
As you probably know, we’ve been doing a series of signings recently to promote TCD and Holmes (don’t forget SubCity Dublin this Saturday) and people attending have been really interested in the Darkness/Eva collection which a lot of them didn’t seem to know about previously. So, if you’re interested, why not check out the first 13 pages of the TPB? If you like what you see you can order the book from our Darkness vs. Eva page.
So, what’s the next big monster craze going to be then? I’m hoping it’s were-wolves… damn, we’d better get planning a lycanthrope book then…
