The Daily Pulp: July 2008

Update time, as it's been awhile.

Well haven't I been a naughty SOB. With the move to the new house and all the renovations I have been rather lax with updating the blog. Which I have been trying to correct with the new posts. I know what your thinking "Just shut up Fletcher and tell us about the funny books." Well if you're going to be that way about it fine.

Adam Zero issue three is complete and issue four is not far behind. We were running late with the backup in issue three but that is behind us and we are ready to roll. Issue four has the backup now being colored by the ever talented Zack Turner. Who is growing ever busier as his services are rightly very in demand.

Marshal Tyme is going to be collected into a trade paperback and possibly a graphic novel. I have a publisher interested in marketing it to school libraries as a way to get kids interested in history. Which heck thats cool by me. I'm also working on some new original material for the good Marshal. And my good buddy Anthony D Lee is trying to put away his English accent and write a fun Marshal Tyme story for us. Which after reading the first few pages he is doing very well. How a Brit can so easily write old west slang is a mystery I choose not to explore.

Spykiller is out making the submission rounds (Ugh I know the looming ax of rejection hangs ever present) while Marcelo and the team work on finishing the first issue. It is looking wonderful and the grayscale pages really give an atmosphere to the book. It is by far my most violent book to date and of the more adult variety. But I still think the spy genre can be mined by the comic community.

Other then that working on side projects with Kong and Barri "Clubber" Lang (another Brit with a thing for old west slang, maybe I should look into that).

The house is great if not in great shape. We've completely redone the floors and the bathroom. My brother is putting in new HVAC for us which is nice but costly. And my daughter is thrilled with her new pink room. The yard is a complete disater and will be for the short term as I do not have enough hours in the day to take care of it yet. And my "office" is just wall to wall boxes. Yup I know I just had to go buy a house didn't I?
