Our new MAMber Josh Covey

Josh and I are working on "The Broken Heart Of Ogopogo" (well Josh is done, so now it's my turn)

One of the first things we did was reattack how i had originally laid out the story. I always wanted that first panel to be a splash page, but in the interests of speed, I incorporated into the first page. Josh brought some of that back. He slowed the pace and let the script breathe more and really crafted it into a more solid story.

This is the layout split that happened when Josh got ahold of it. He really opened up the whole idea, i think you guys will enjoy it.

Raging Sea sneak peak

Well folks, we neglected the ba-jeezus out of July, in terms of updating the blog. I don't wanna make excuses, but we gotta whole lot done...so i forgive us.

I'll post the big old "state of the union" schpeel tommorow! Here's a little Shaner goodness to hold you over. Evan Shaner is working on the continuation of the "Fisherman's Wife" story from our first issue.

Down to Zero Tease

Another preview from the Summer '09 issue, this is a panel from "Down to Zero". Story and pencils by me, inks by Michael Babinski, and tones by Matt Bennett.

Joe's got crabs!

Veteran MAM'mer jammer, Joe Dellagatta hooked us up with this smokin' hot pinup for the Summer issue. This is the HOLY DIVER, a character of Joe's own creation, that we'll hopefully be seeing more of real soon. Joe's guy is the first non-Scotty or non-Matt created character to appear in MAM.

Scotty and I also have another surprise creator contributing to the new issue as well. The mystery man in question has got himself a fan-favorite original character making an appearance in sequential form.

stay tuned for more folks

Coming Attractions

Bill Thom over at the pulptastic Coming Attractions was nice enough to give Mysterious Adventure a little shout out on his site. Go check it out and take a look through all of the other pulp goodies.

Denver's a bit sketchy

Denver Dockry that is! He's the lead character in "Saying Goodbye With Bullets," which appears in MAM's Summer issue. This is a prelim sketch Ben Perkins did for a pinup that will accompany the story by Kasinger and Babinski.

Expect more gritty streets and grizzled detectives in the demon-themed pulp story. Just the kind of thing that you've come to expect from Mysterious Adventure Magazine.


ALSO...our very own Scott Godlewski popped up over on MAJOR SPOILERS ! That's pretty cool.

OTRCAT.com

I don't know about you, but I love me some old time radio. There's nothing else like it. It's especially good for listening to while drawing. Maybe I have such an affinity for it because it's totally dependant upon the mastery of sound. Much like comics only need to be seen to be enjoyed. Single sense entertainment is where it's at! And I know exactly where you can get some of that old time radio goodness. OTRCat.com! There are thousands of episodes of the greatest radio plays ever produced. Jon will take care of all your old time radio needs. Tell 'im Scott sent ya.
