PROFESSOR FRINK #1!!!

Professor Frink goes on a hot date which gets him--and all of Springfield--in hot water. FRINK SINATRA is a 12 page story written by Ian Boothby and penciled by yours surly, and it's the lead feature in PROFESSOR FRINK #1, a one-shot special from Bongo Comics, on sale February 27.

Andrew Pepoy inked it--as well as the two other stories in the issue. On Saturday, March 2, from 2-5 PM, Andrew and I will be signing this and other comics, as well as drawing free sketches. It all happens at the comic book store Vigilante Press, 1931 W. Chicago Avenue in Chicago. Copies of the issue will be on sale. Stop by and say hello.

Free Willy-Nilly

Free Comic Book Day

This Saturday is Free Comic Book Day, and I'll be making an appearance at Dark Tower Comics in Chicago from 1-4, along with artist Chris Burn­ham (Bat­man Inc, Nixon’s Pals, Offi­cer Downe, Ele­phant­men). We'll be signing comics, doing sketches, and making with the putrid patter that passes for snappy repartee at comic book stores. In addition to the free giveaways, there will be plenty of our comics for sale, including my work on Fear Agent, The Simp­sons, Creepy, SpongeBob SquarePants, and maybe even Munden’s Bar and Splash Brannigan--and everything in the store will be on sale as well.
