More on Free Comic Book Day
Also on Free Comic Book Day (May 5, 2007), I’ll be posting a complete recent issue of each of our magazines to our web site, in PDF format. So if you’ve never tried, say, Rough Stuff magazine, you’ll be able to download it and read a whole issue, free of charge. I hope this’ll encourage […]

Comics 101
Our webmeister supreme, Rand Hoppe, just added our Free Comic Book Day contribution for this year to our webstore. It’s called COMICS 101, and it’s a primer on comics creation and history by our erstwhile TwoMorrows magazine editors. Below is the official description, and the cover art (by Bret Blevins and Mike Manley). All our […]

Dave Sim
We mail out a lot of free books to professionals. Always have, always will. Pros are the lifeblood of TwoMorrows, and I figure, they help us out so much with interviews and cover art, the least we can do is send them a bunch of books and let their productivity grind to a halt when […]

Von Sholly Cartoon of the week
Speaking of Pete Von Sholly, he’s got such a stockpile of ridiculous cartoons (that he keeps stuffing my email box with), that I’ve decided to run one a week here. This is a particular favorite; if you like what you see, check out his TwoMorrows book Comic Book Nerd, or either of his two Crazy […]

George has been writing some of our most popular books for several years, dating back to Kimota, The Miracleman Companion, The Extraordinary Works of Alan Moore, G-Force: Animated, and our upcoming book on the history of Image Comics.

Our friends(?) at Wizard
The pigs must be flying; check out page 20 of the new issue of Wizard (#185). In the “Heat Index” column, they actually plug one of our publications, saying:
COMIC BOOK NERD (TwoMorrows)
Creator Pete Von Sholly shoves this parody collection up every comic book-centric magazine’s butt (including Wizard) as he tears apart their concepts, designs and […]

Fantastic Four Lost and found
I don’t know how Marvel Comics editor Tom Brevoort does it; constantly juggling projects like that guy on the old Tonight Show that used to spin dinner plates on poles while riding a unicycle. You’d think with all the current projects he’s involved in, the last thing he’d be worried about is an unused Kirby […]

Magazine Management
No, that’s not the title of a business course I’m taking at night school; it’s the name of Marvel Comics’ founder Martin Goodman’s publishing company in the 1960s. In addition to Marvel Comics (and Atlas and Timely before that), he published a much larger line of men’s magazines (aptly nicknamed “men’s sweat mags”) that were […]

Speaking of conventions…
With the NY Comic-Con getting all the press lately, WonderCon might be getting a little overshadowed this year. But it’s taking place (unfortunately) the week after NY, from March 2-4, and TwoMorrows will have a booth there again this year. The fine folks who put on Comicon International: San Diego also host WonderCon in San […]
