Battlin' Yank

Fighting Yank was a golden age hero that eventually fell into the public domain along with other Standard comic book characters like The Black Terror. I've always been a sucker for golden age heroes and was interested in Fighting Yank as far back as the AC version of him, and enjoyed the Terra Obscura take on the character. Now of course they have another version over in Project Superpowers Hardcover.
I decided a while back to do my own version as a backup in Adam Zero. And this is just the first few pages, with art by the great Josh Mills and colors by Brian Gabrillo. I hope to have some shots of my Battlin' Yank shortly, yes a little name change along with some other tweaks to the character as well.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Spruce Pine, NC; February 9th 2009- Hard Way Studios announced today that
their most recent book titled The Supremacy will start solicitation. This is a
new project that is created by Hard Way Studios with Atomic Pop Art
Entertainment Publishing the five issue mini series. Hard Way Studios is the creators
of past comics such as Morbid Myths Published by Alterna Comics (named one of
the top 40 independent comics of 2007 by Wizard magazine) and House at the
Edge of Nowhere Published by Bloodfire Studio (coming late 2010). This book is
slated to be on comic book stores in May 2009.

Hard Way Studios’ Chief Editor says, “The accomplishments by this wonderful
creative team are amazing. This may be the best story of this type to hit
the market in many years. From the perspective and insight of Peter G. to the
great story telling abilities of Dwayne Biddix, Rob Lansley, Anthony Lee and
Jay La Valley, this story hits hard from the beginning and doesn’t let up
until the last page of issue 5.”

Dwayne Biddix, the man responsible for the pencil work on The Supremacy
said, “I am very happy with the end result of this project. Seeing the project go
from an idea to a completed mini series is amazing. I think that the people
that pick up this book will be pleasantly surprised what their few bucks has
gotten them this time. I am very excited to get this book out there and see
the response of the wider audience.” With the excitement radiating from these
creators the book is sure to be at least something that these two companies
can be proud of.

This project is targeted at the fans of seeing a story told in a different
light. This project focuses around the opposite side of the spectrum as what
most of the comics of the same subject matter. With this new way of telling
this type of story, this book promises to be something fans of this genre wouldn
’t expect.

Of this new cooperation of Hard Way Studios and Atomic Pop Art Entertainment
for the release of The Supremacy, Tracy Duty, President and Publisher of
Atomic Pop Art Entertainment says, “I truly think we have something to be proud
of here and we are excited to be working together on this new type of
endeavor.” On the same subject, Chris Carpenter, Chief Editor of Hard Way Studios
says, “I am truly honored to work with Mr. Duty on this large scale undertaking
and we look forward to doing more projects with him in the near future.”

A few more tweaks

Some minor edits, still not finished.

Adam Zero page

Here is a mock up of a page from a special issue of Adam Zero. The whole issue is being done in Kong-O-Vision. Which is a funky way of saying from the the mind of my buddy Brett Wood who did the very cool artwork for this project.

More Watchmen

This is going to be big!

Well with Diamond changing their ordering system like I discussed a few days ago, we knew things would be changing. Well now the guys over at Ka-blam have changed things entirely. They just debuted Comicsmonkey an online distribution model. This could be very big for indie comics as it handles alot of our overhead. Things they are a changing folks.
