I-CON 2011

2011-09-14T19:49:00.000-07:00

As I type this, I am prepping and getting ready for the big to-do at Altoona's Adventure(come on over to)landInn: the Iowa Comic Book Club I-CON. We've been to this show several times before. It has been at several locations, including the Civic Center downtown Des Moines, as well as the 4H Building at the Iowa State Fairgrounds. It's always been a good time, except for the fact that in the last few years it's been when the Iowa Hawkeyes manage to lay a mighty egg against whatever opponent they should have beat. Well, that is no longer the case. As you know, the Hawks pulled off this feat last weekend against the Iowa State Cyclones. A heartbreaker to the black and gold faithful, but it's kind of nice to have this loss out of our system. While it can be thrilling to witness the high-wire act that is the University of Iowa Football program week in and week out, it begins to fray the nerves. At my semi-advanced age, I could do with less thrills, thank you very much.

Anyway, back to comics. We will be represented well with myself, John Ira Thomas and Will Grant. Come on down and get a free collector's item postcard. This year we feature Nikki Harris wearing a Grantham Academy CyberBall jersey (just in time for the CyberBall season to kickoff some many years from now) and on the other side yet another amazing work from Will Grant showing off more of Lost in the Wash.

So, stop by, say 'howdy' pick up some books and maybe get a sketch or two! See you in Altoona!

Nikki Harris review on Comic Book Bin

2009-06-03T04:19:00.001-07:00

"In spite of its digitally produced artwork, The Adventures of Nikki Harris is a throwback comic book. It is a self-contained, fight comics full of weird scenarios and kooky characters… and it leaves you wanting more. The fight scenes are reminiscent of the Steve Ditko Doctor Strange stories from Strange Tales."

This last Monday, my uncle John passed away. I only mention this on a comic blog because back when I was a kid growing up just outside of Bismarck, my uncle John would show us his Conan comic book collection. Up to this point, I was still reading Spider-man and Star Wars. Not a lot of what was going on in Conan was anywhere in anything I was interested in. I don't remember all of the issues he had, it was a big collection of King Conan, Savage Sword of Conan and of course, Conan the Barbarian, but here is a sample of what I remember: Conan dismembering some multi-limbed monster, saving a damsel in distress (usually a sorceress in disguise) and looking PISSED! People ask me what sort of things influence my creative outlook on creating comics. I'd be a damn liar if this wasn't one of them.

I hadn't seen from him in years, we weren't that close ever since we came to Iowa. Distance, divorce and the like does that sometimes. I just wanted to say "Thanks."
