Karswell returns the favor

THE HORRORS OF IT ALL: Interview with Matthew Maxwell
Over at the Horrors of It All, Karswell finishes off the dual (duel?) interview between him and myself, the first part of which ran last week over here. I’m pretty sure I don’t try and shill my own work, either (as he does a nice enough [...]

Here’s a brief interview I had with Karswell, he of The Horrors of It All, a required daily stop for all your Pre-Code Horror comics needs. And I mean all of them. He asked me to answer the same questions myself, which I’ll probably do later on this week [...]

This might be my favorite thing ever

Neave Television …telly without context
Even if it’s only a simulacra of flipping the UHF and VHF very late at night or very early in the morning.

Songs for spring, 2008

You might be right.
It’s a long time [...]

Luis Guaragna has just finished the pencils for the story “Red Hands” and they are awesome. This story is a bit of a departure from the western setting, but I think still taps the spirit and atmosphere that we worked up in Murder Moon.
I’m always thrilled to [...]

Blog@Newsarama: Fringe Benefits: Strangeways
Michael May gives a nice review to STRANGEWAYS: MURDER MOON. Give it a read over at their new and revamped site, why don’t you?

More travels

Full Bleed 23
Wherein I travel to Los Angeles and do battle with Book Expo America. And have sushi with a secret cabal of bloggers who will use their influence to direct discussion of the blogosphere and make SEAGUY 2 the breakout hit of whatever year it gets published in.
